COVID-19 Case Updates for Rocketship Milwaukee Families
This page was last updated on May 2, 2022
Current active cases:
Rocketship Southside Community Prep – 1 student, 1 staff (0 classes of close contacts currently in full at-home quarantine)
Rocketship Transformation Prep – 0 student, 0 staff (0 classes of close contacts currently in full at-home quarantine)
To make sure our families get the information that’s needed most about COVID-19 on our school campuses, going forward, letters will only be sent to those who are directly impacted when there is a new positive case. To honor our commitment to transparency at Rocketship, we will update this page to reflect the current COVID-19 cases on each campus as we become aware of new positive cases or previous cases become no longer active.

Have Questions about the COVID-19 Vaccines?
We believe it’s important to equip every member of our community with the knowledge they need to make an informed decision. Rocketship recently had the privilege of hosting Rocketship Nashville board member and nationally-recognized medical expert, Dr. James Hildreth, for an hour-long webinar on the COVID-19 vaccines.
