Did  you  know . . . .

  • Returning and new families to St. Vincent Pallotti are eligible to apply for participation in Milwaukee Parental Choice (MPCP) OR Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP).

​

  • Determination of which program a student is eligible for is based on where in Wisconsin a student resides.

              * If a student resides outside of the City of Milwaukee school district, they are eligible to apply to the WPCP.  

 

          Student eligibility, which is established by state law, varies for each program. Student eligibility is a combination of student residence, income and prior year attendance. There is also an age requirement that must be met for grades K4, K5, and 1.
