Dear Badger High School Families and Staff,

Badger High School will be dismissing all students at 10:00 a.m. today, Friday, December 17, 2021.

This early dismissal comes as Badger High School was informed of a threat at Badger High School as part of the nationwide TikTok Challenge promoting national school violence on Friday, December 17, 2021. This action is being taken, even though we feel the threat is not credible, to error on the side of the safety of our students. In addition, all after-school activities will be canceled this evening at Badger. Since this threat was specific to Badger High School, all other Lake Geneva Schools will remain open today (Lake Geneva Middle School, Star Center, Eastview, and Central-Denison). As always, if parents would like to excuse their child from the remainder of the day at these schools, please contact the school office.  

Buses will be picking up Badger students at 10:00 a.m.

We want to take a moment to share with families that we always take threats seriously. We are working jointly with the Lake Geneva Police Department to continue to investigate this threat. 

We are always here for your student and for your family. If you need assistance of any sort, please reach out to your teachers, school counselor, school social worker, principal, or myself. 

Sincerely,

Dr. James Gottinger

District Administrator
