Communication Protocol

Whom do I contact with a question or suggestion? Lake Geneva Schools’ communication protocols help promote direct, open, and respectful interactions so that we quickly and efficiently resolve problems and concerns. The communication protocol starts with the staff member closest to the situation, as that person usually has the most information. However, at times, additional personnel are required to resolve specific concerns. Click here for more information and to view the Lake Geneva Schools Communication Matrix.

The Kidspace Playgroup is a free program offering your child an opportunity for free play, art activities, movement, storytime, and a snack! This is a perfect opportunity to strengthen social-emotional skills, early literacy skills, and develop connections between families.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

MAIN OFFICE CHECK-IN PROCEDURE

Main Office Check-In Procedure:


In an effort to continue safety procedures and protocols, Star Center is asking that all visitors enter the building using the main entrance. Please note that if a visitor is wishing to enter the building, go to the classroom, etc. Ms. Aronson and Ms. Donahue will ask for a driver's license to be handed to them upon arrival. They will then exchange the driver's license for a visitor's pass to indicate to staff and students that the person wearing the visitor's pass is allowed in the school building. We appreciate your understanding of this procedure as we continue to do what we can to ensure the safety of all students and staff at Star Center.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME

School attendance is very important, and we encourage families to make sure their children are in school as much as possible. However, children who are sick need to stay home for their well-being and to prevent others from becoming sick.
