Students at Lake Geneva Middle School, Star Center Elementary School, Eastview Elementary School, and Central-Denison Elementary School will have no school Friday, January 21, 2022. This day was previously a scheduled half-day for students but is now a full day off of school.

Please note that Badger High School will still hold final exams for periods 7 and 8 on Friday, January 21, 2022, with early dismissal at 11:06 a.m. Badger High School students should report to school as normal on this day.

Teachers and Staff will be reporting to school on Friday, January 21, 2022, and will be using all non-student hours for professional development and work time.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a happy and healthy holiday season!
