MORNING DROP-OFF - 8:30am -8:45am - As always, our 4K- 1st grade car riders can be dropped off on Cook Street. Second and third graders can be dropped off on Madison Street. Whether dropped off, or arriving on the bus, all 4K students should plan to meet their teachers outside on the grassy area near Cook Street (Look for the “Bears”). For bus riders, we would like our students to enter the building through designated doors. Kindergarten and 1st grade students should enter through the library ramp doors. Second graders should enter through the doors by the office and third graders should go in through the doors on the far end of the building by the third grade wing. Our intent is to allow for a less crowded start to the day.

BREAKFAST/LUNCH – Breakfast will be served in a “grab & go” fashion this year. 4K-1st grade will eat their breakfast in the cafeteria, BUT… 2nd and 3rd graders will pick up their breakfast and return to their classrooms to eat and start their day. Our students will be eating lunch in the cafeteria. In an effort to help with physical distancing while in the cafeteria, students will be spaced so that there are only about six children sitting at a table. 

SNACK/TREATS/WATER BOTTLES – We are once again asking that children bring their own snacks to school each day rather than sharing with the whole class.  HOWEVER, birthday treats and special event snacks will be allowed, however, we do ask that they be individually wrapped. We are also asking each child to bring their own water bottle to school. We do have fill stations throughout the building. This worked very well last year. No worries if your child doesn’t have a water bottle. The drinking fountains will be accessible if needed.

Car riders and walkers dismiss at 3:45 p.m.

School starts promptly at 8:45 am. Students may enter the building at 8:30. Please note there is no supervision prior to 8:30 am. If your child would like to eat breakfast they may enter the building at 8:30 am (or when their bus arrives). Students arriving after 8:45 am and entering through the office will be marked tardy.  All students arriving or leaving during the school day must be signed in/out by a parent/guardian in the office.  Please send a note to their teacher to alert that the student will be leaving early.

If your child will not be able to attend school or will be late, please call the office (262-348-4000) or email edith.draper@badger.k12.wi.us  by 9:00 am. Please leave your child’s full name, their teacher’s name and why he/she is unable to come to school that day. If your child will be out of school for three or more days, a Planned Absence Request will be required or an excuse from the physician.  Should your child be out for an appointment, please notify the office prior to the appointment, obtain a school excuse from the appointment and have the child bring the excuse upon returning to school. Students are allowed up to five (5) excused absences per semester.

For changes made to your child’s regular transportation:  Please send a note with your child or write on the communication card or agenda if a transportation or pick up change is necessary. Please call the office by 3:15 PM with any changes during the school day. If you must pick up your child during the school day, an adult must visit the office and sign your child out.
