Badger High School requires all students to complete the enrollment process online. Please visit www.lakegenevaschools.com starting August 1 to view registration instructions and complete your registration.

In-person registration will take place on August 3, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Badger Commons. Student pictures will be taken, school ID's and schedules will be distributed on this day, for those who have completed online registration and paid registration fees. If you are unable to attend in-person registration, student schedules will be available in the front office, for those who have completed online registration and paid registrations fees, starting on Monday, August 10.

If you are already familiar with PowerSchool, you will log in the same way to begin the online registration process. Once you are logged into PowerSchool, look for the “forms” icon on the left hand side. If you do not have a log in, please contact Badger at (262) 348-2000. 

The student/material fee is $90.00; additionally, freshmen must purchase a PE Shirt for $10.00. If you are paying school fees by credit card, you may pay during the online registration process. Click the “balance icon” on the left side of the screen. Click the green "Make a Payment" button. You will be taken to RevTrak where you can make your payment. If you do not have a RevTrak account, you will be prompted to create one during checkout. If you would prefer to make cash or check fee payments in person, you may do so during in-person registration.

Each year, significant effort goes into creating a master schedule that balances graduation requirements with student course requests. Badger High School offers a diverse selection of both required and elective courses, giving students ample opportunities to tailor their education to their goals. Students and parents are given two weeks to review the course guide and carefully select classes that align with their academic path and graduation requirements. Faculty assignments, room allocations,

and course sections are determined based on these selections. As a result, schedule changes are not always possible due to conflicts, course availability, and class size limitations.

Schedule change requests will be considered for the following reasons and only honored if there is space available:

• Course needed to meet graduation requirement
• Student approved for Start College Now, Early College Credit, or Career Connect
• An individual educational plan (IEP) or 504 plan accommodation
• Recovery credit needed for graduation
• Student does not meet course prerequisite

Students’ schedules will NOT be changed due to:

• Change of mind or in future career path
• Failing or low grade in year long class
• Teacher Preference
• Being in class with a friend
• Lunch period preference
• A job or athletics commitment

Semester two schedule changes if needed, will only occur one week prior to the start of the semester

Once the school year begins, students and parent(s)/guardian(s) can access grades online through PowerSchool. If you are unfamiliar with PowerSchool, please click here for additional PowerSchool resources.

Classes will begin promptly at 7:30 a.m. and dismissal will be at 2:45 p.m.

From September 1 through September 11, we will run an 8 hour schedule, periods 1-8, no homeroom.

This will allow students to become familiar with the location of their classes. Our regular bell schedule can be found here.

Our normal weekly schedule shown below will begin on Monday, September 14.

• Monday, 8 Hours with Homeroom
• Tuesday, Odd Block Day, Hours 1, 3, 5 and 7

All students in grades 9 through 12 will be required to use Chromebooks issued by Badger High School. Personal devices will not be permitted for daily use at school - this includes laptops, tablets, or other technology brought from home. 

Below is additional information from our Badger Handbook:

Personal Devices

Personal electronics may only be used before school, after school, during lunch, or passing times. Recording or taking photos of staff or students without permission is prohibited.

Students are required to place their personal cell phones into the classroom phone holder upon arrival to the classroom. Failure to comply with the Badger cell phone policy will result in the following: 

• First Offense: Verbal warning and contact home.
• Second Offense: Phone/device/earbuds are confiscated, taken to the main office for the day, and the teacher contacts home.
• Third Offense: Phone/device/earbuds are confiscated, taken to the main office and parent/guardian must pick-up the items in the main office. Further consequences will be assigned.

Cell phones are not allowed in the locker rooms, bathrooms or any other locations where personal privacy is expected at any time.  Students bring their cell phones at their own risk.

Lockers & Valuables

Lockers are school property and may be searched if there is reasonable suspicion. Students should not bring valuables or large sums of money to school. Phones are not allowed in locker rooms or adjoining bathrooms where personal privacy is expected. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen personal property.

Students may not use outside food delivery services from businesses, Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. to have lunch/snacks/items delivered to Badger High School. Deliveries of this nature will be denied at the door and sent away at the student's expense.

Students are expected to leave the school premises immediately after dismissal at 2:45 p.m. Students may remain on school grounds only if they are participating in an extracurricular activity, receiving academic assistance, or involved in a sport. If a student is released early from their activity, they must wait in the Union until their ride arrives or the late bus departs. Students may NOT roam around the school at any time.



Late buses will run Monday through Thursday at 4:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. On Fridays, one bus will run at 5:45 p.m. Students must have a pass from a teacher or coach to ride the late buses.

Badger does not have a “school supply list.” Students are asked to bring in basic supplies: pens, pencils, paper, folders. Each individual teacher will let them know what specific items will be required.  

Freshmen are required to purchase a shirt ($10) for PE. Freshmen are required to wear the Badger PE shirt but will be able to wear their own athletic shorts or jogging pants for class. Students in grades 10-12 do not have to wear a Badger PE shirt. 

Please note that students are not allowed to wear jean shorts, zip-off shorts, or any other everyday attire for class. In addition, shorts or jogging pants must fit appropriately covering all areas, not worn below one’s hips, and be suitable for athletic activities.

PE shirts will be distributed by PE teachers during the first few days of class. If your student does not have PE class until second semester, they will receive their shirt at that time. 

Report cards will be emailed to all students and parent/guardians approximately two weeks after the end of each semester. Thank you for your assistance with this process.
