Parent Tech to Know Corner:
YikYak is a social media site that allows people to create, comment on, and view discussion threads within a 5-mile radius. This site was relaunched in 2021 and is a relatively anonymous site that is a breeding ground for harassment. We know that Badger students are using this site with many choosing not to due to the negative content. As a parent, knowledge is power, and in this case I hope it can assist you in talking with your teen about how they wish to walk in this world. Badger is doing our best to stop this behavior. YikYak’s website states that if someone believes they are being harmed, they can contact the company.

March is ACT month for Badger Juniors. On March 8, all Juniors in the State of Wisconsin will take this test. Juniors may use the score when applying to four-year universities or used to replace the Technical College placement testing (a score of 16 or higher). The test will take the majority of the day and Juniors are free to leave the building after testing is completed. Please talk with your student about the importance of doing their very best on the test. Junior level teachers have also helped prep our students for this test.
The end of the third quarter is just around the corner on March 25. Please be sure to have conversations with your student about grades and finishing the year strong. Course Selection for next year’s classes has ended. We hope that you’ve spent time with your student reviewing all the course offerings Badger has, checking out the various Academies to earn college credit, and choosing those that spark student interest and meet graduation requirements. If your student has not completed the scheduling process, please reach out to our Counseling Department to do so. Our next step is to build the schedule. Look for schedules to be mailed home in July.
If you pick up your student after school you know that the line of cars and buses can be precarious at times. Please know that our buses leave by 3:05pm each day. Best bet for a smooth pickup is to wait until after the buses leave.
Spring Break is at the end of this month. Wishing the Badger community a safe and enjoyable break.
