SAFETY TOWN INFO

INSTRUCTORS / AIDES NEEDED!

The Geneva Lake Women's Association is happy to announce that registration is open for Grade 6-12 Students looking to volunteer at our annual Safety Town event being held Tuesday, June 8th - Friday, June 11th at Lake Geneva Middle School. Students may register online via https://bit.ly/3lPOgzF

Safety Town is an early childhood safety education program designed for children who are at least 5 years of age and who are entering 5-year-old kindergarten in the Fall. During a 12-hour program (3 hours per day for 4 days), children learn safety behavior under the guidance of certified teachers and qualified professionals such as firefighters and police personnel. Children learn safety lessons through role playing, games, art projects, stories, movies and field trips.

This is a great volunteer opportunity for you to become involved as an Instructor or Aide as you would work with the children and help them learn about safety. We look forward to you joining us!

DATE: Training Day Monday, June 7th 2021 (Time to be determined at a later date) Lake Geneva Middle School.

SAFETY TOWN CLASSES: Tuesday, June 8th – Friday June 11, 2021

VIRTUAL/BLENDED STUDENTS AND PARENTS ONLY

For our Virtual/Blended students during class time:

1. It is very important that the student is on time to class. Students,please be waiting for a few minutes before the start of class time in order to click on at the beginning of class. The teachers are taking attendance and beginning class with activities. When a student joins the class late, it causes a disruption both on-line and for the students who are in-person.

2. Students need to have their cameras on during class unless the teacher says otherwise. The teachers need to see the students when they are taking attendance and during instruction.

3. The Chat feature during Google Meet is for asking questions of the teachers or answering their questions. It is not for the students to talk to each other during class.

Chromebook Problems? Please follow these steps:

If a student is having tech problems with the device, you, or a parent/guardian, should send an email to techsupport@badger.k12.wi.us. Please include the words "Virtual Student Tech Help" in the subject line. Explain what is happening in as much detail as possible, including what you were doing when the problem happened. We will respond with some things to try but ultimately you may have to bring the device to Chromebook Corner. If we cannot fix it quickly we will issue a loaner while yours is getting repaired. We configure the loaners on a case by case basis so they can wait while we do that or come back.

COMMUNITY BACKPACK

Online Bulletin for Youth-Related Community Activities & Educational Opportunities

Lake Geneva Schools recognizes the important role that community organizations play in serving our students and area youth. Our Community Backpack program provides opportunities for local civic and not-for-profit organizations to share youth-related program information with the students and families in our district.

If you have a submission or you'd like to see events happening in the area, visit our Community Backpack page: http://bit.ly/2Nuk1jF

Please note that the content on this page will be updated frequently, so check back often.

MISCELLANEOUS INFO TO KNOW

BREAKFAST: Breakfast is served starting at 7:00 a.m. The cafeteria area is only open to students purchasing breakfast.

STUDENT PICK UP: If you need to pick up your student during the day, we ask that you please send a note with your student in the morning with a time that you will be picking them up. That way we can write them a pass to hand to their teacher when it's time to leave. This avoids having to disrupt classes by calling in looking for a student.

BUS PASSES: If your student will be riding the bus home with a friend, please send a letter in the morning indicating who he/she will be going home with. We will then issue a bus pass.

LATE BUSES - NEW THIS YEAR:

Late buses run as follows:

3:30 p.m. - Tuesdays and Thursdays

4:15 p.m. - Mondays through Thursdays

LATEX BALLOONS: We have students with latex allergies so please, no latex balloons.

WATER BOTTLES: Students are allowed to have water bottles during the school day - WATER ONLY. Please, no other liquids.

Chromebook Care

Parents and Students: While we understand that accidents happen, it is important that students do their best to properly care for their chromebook. Should something happen to the chromebook, students should complete a Chromebook Repair Request form and take it, along with their chromebook, to the LMC.
