Badger & LGMS Safety Update

Monday, September 16, 2024, 1:25 p.m.

Dear Families,

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. As a precautionary measure and in cooperation with local law enforcement, Badger High School and Lake Geneva Middle School were placed in a soft hold starting at 9:00 a.m. today, Monday, September 16, 2024.

This soft hold will remain in effect for the rest of the school day as law enforcement investigates a potentially threatening voice message received at Badger High School. We want to have a safe and orderly dismissal, so please allow your child to continue with their “normal” end-of-day dismissal routine. All afterschool activities will run as normal with increased law enforcement and district staff presence.

A soft hold allows normal daily operations to continue while keeping students indoors and securing the outer perimeters. In addition, there is an increased police presence to ensure safety.

At this time, this incident appears to be part of a larger hoax, impacting schools across the state and country. While there is no indication that the threat is credible, we, in partnership with law enforcement, are continuing to take every precaution to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Please note that during active investigations, communication with families and staff may be limited to avoid interfering with law enforcement efforts. We always work closely with them to determine when and what information can be shared.

Lake Geneva Schools does not tolerate any threats of violence against any member of our school community. Any threat is taken seriously and is reported to local law enforcement. Any threat of violence, even if intended to be a joke/prank, could result in serious disciplinary issues that could negatively impact a student’s educational future in Lake Geneva Schools and result in criminal charges.

If you or your child become aware of any potential threat, please immediately notify a district staff member or law enforcement. Remember, if you see something, say something.

As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.

Peter C. Wilson, Ph.D.
Superintendent
Lake Geneva Schools
