RESIDENCE HALL STUDENTS Residence Hall students should carefully review the RESIDENCE HALL RULES & REGULATIONS flyer that is included with this acceptance packet. This flyer provides essential information about the Residence Hall accommodations. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE Elm Grove Travel Service is proud to be the Milwaukee Ballet’s Summer Program travel agency. The lowest airfare discounts are available by calling the toll-free number 1-800-782-7073. Identify yourself as a Milwaukee Ballet summer student or family member. Transportation from the airport to the Residence Hall is everyone’s individual responsibility. Taxi and discount shuttle service is available from the airport to the Residence Halls and popular ride share services are also available. A representative from the Milwaukee Ballet will be available to greet students at baggage claim area #4 on Sunday, July 7 from 12:00p.m.-4:00p.m. with a Milwaukee Ballet sign.

Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport is located south of downtown Milwaukee and is approximately 15 miles south of UWM-Sandburg Halls. Mitchell Airport is neither large nor complicated and can be easily navigated by the most novice travelers. The housing staff will assist students in coordinating rides to the airport on Saturday, July 27. Student arrival and departure times at the Sandburg Residence Hall are as follows: ARRIVAL at the UW-Milwaukee Residence Halls Sunday, July 7 1:00-5:00pm DEPARTURE from the UW-Milwaukee Residence Halls Saturday, July 27 No later than 11:00am Please plan for moving your student out of the Residence Hall (if applicable). If you wish for your child to stay overnight at a hotel with you upon arriving to see Emergence, you must remove all his/her belongings and he/she will become a non-Residence Hall student at that time, but still able to ride the buses as scheduled. As the program end draws near, students must have an “all or nothing” approach to their housing. Checking out of the Residence Halls prior to Saturday, July 27 must be arranged with the Residence Hall manager at least 48 hours in advance of the early check-out. There is no discount given on housing costs for early departure unless the departure is due to illness or injury and the student is withdrawing from the entire program. WELCOME MEETING Milwaukee Ballet Resident Assistants will be waiting to welcome students staying at UWM-Sandburg Halls upon their arrival to the Residence Hall. They can answer questions and help direct students. There will be a welcome meeting for ALL Summer Program students (Residence Hall and Non-Residence Hall) on Sunday, July 7 at 6:00 p.m. Introductions of key personnel, rules and regulations, and an orientation tour will be part of the welcome meeting agenda. Parents are welcome to attend. WEEKLY ACTIVITIES AND WEEKEND EXCURSIONS Residence Hall and Non-Residence Hall students are welcome to participate in all extracurricular activities planned by MB. During the week, the Resident Assistant staff will plan activities at or near the Residence Halls that will include things like walks to the beach, movies, volleyball, etc. for students after they return from class. Each weekend more extensive excursions will be planned, with costs for admission and bus transportation approximated below. Specific cost and schedule information for the excursions will be available for the students in May. The tentative schedule and approximate fees for these trips are: Sunday, July 14 Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Game ($50) Saturday, July 20 Noah’s Ark Water Park in Wisconsin Dells ($85) CASH & VALUABLES Valuables should not be brought to the studios or left unattended in the dressing rooms. Airline tickets, and cash may be checked-in with the Residence Hall Manager upon arrival. A limited number of lockers are available for students; locks are to be provided by the students. To help identify lost items, students’ names should be placed on the inside of all shoes and on the tags of tights, leotards, skirts, etc. Any audio or electronic equipment should have the student’s name engraved upon them. An ATM is in the Main Lobby of Sandburg Halls near the Main Desk - the machine is available for use by the general public. We recommend that students use this machine to access cash during the program. Students have had success bringing pre-paid debit cards to use for purchases.

  • I Had Just About Forgotten About the Whole Thing the Day the Envelope Arrived from the International Exchange Experience
    I had just about forgotten about the whole thing the day the envelope arrived from the International Exchange Experience. I didn’t get much mail, and this one I hoped would be good news. I had applied to go on a year of foreign exchange almost six months ago, and I hadn’t heard. I assumed they weren’t taking me. Is this a rejection? I tore open the envelope. “We are pleased to offer you an exchange placement in the country of Genovia.” Was I going? Now questions filled my head. Where the hell was Genovia? Did they speak English there? I got on the computer and pulled up Wikipedia. The map showed the tiny country of Genovia. It was listed as a reasonably affluent country that was at the crossroads of trade for the region. Climate was a bit warmer than home, but not oppressive. It never got really cold there, it appeared. The language was officially English, as a previous leader had decided to westernize his country. However, Genovian was coming back as a source of national pride and children learned both languages in school. I read through the rest of the article on the history, government, economy. There were a few pictures. The country looked pleasant enough. There was a picture of a school. The girls were wearing uniforms of shirts and skirts. The boys wore shorts shorter than fashionable in the US. Either that was just lameness of the uniforms or perhaps due to the warmer weather. Well, the weeks before my departure flew by.

  • Toilet Learning at SLC
    Toilet Learning at SLC At SLC, we work with parents to potty train their children. Children should remain in pull-ups or in plastic pants over underwear at school until arrangements have been made between the child’s teacher and school director. This is to prevent contamination and the spread of bacteria on the floor and toys in the classrooms from fecal matter. We will follow these steps when potty training children: We will familiarize the child with toileting. We will work toileting into our daily routine (when they arrive at school, after snack time and lunch). We will start transitioning from diapers to pull-ups to underwear as soon as they start telling us that they need to go and when they are comfortable sitting on the potty. We will try taking some of the young children potty with the older children so they can model how ‘big’ kids use the potty. We will use positive words and teach proper hand washing routines. Readiness Signs: Dry diaper for two hour intervals Predictable/regular bowel movements Announces when they have gone or when they are going to the potty Can sit still for several minutes at a time and focus on one activity Can understand simple instructions Is comfortable, not afraid, and willing to sit on the potty Can pull pants up and down Can wash hands with minimal help When children are potty training: Please choose pants that are easy to move up and down. Eliminate overalls and onesies. Have children choose special panties or underwear. Consider using plastic pants over panties/underwear.
