Online Registration-Required

Lake Geneva Joint #1 Schools require an online registration process each year, which opened on August 1st. Online registration complements the August In-Person registration event held at Lake Geneva Middle School on Monday, August 18, 2025 from 10:00am-6:00pm.


This will streamline tasks such as picking up schedules, paying fees, filling out last-minute forms, etc. This must be done BEFORE you come to In-Person Registration.


If you do not have a computer or need assistance with registration, there is In-Person Registration Support at Central-Denison Elementary School for all families in the district on Wednesday, August 13th, from Noon to 6:00 PM. If you prefer to make fee payments in person, you may do so during school office hours.


View the registration guide below for more information and instructions.

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.

**ATTENDANCE INFORMATION**

Important: Student Attendance Procedures

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. Click the link to review the Lake Geneva Schools Protocols for When to Keep Your Child Home From School: https://bit.ly/3Bl6Gl9 

***Students need to be to school by 7:10am and are to be in their homeroom by the time the bell rings at 7:20am. 

Student Attendance and Attendance Procedures

One of the biggest ways parents/guardians can help their child succeed this school year is to make sure their child gets to school, on time, each and every day. The evidence is clear: children with good attendance are more likely to be successful in school. High attendance rates are linked to high student achievement. Every day counts, and missing school even 10% of the time has a significant negative impact on reading and math achievement as children progress through school. We want to ask for parent’s/guardian’s commitment to making sure their child attends school every day possible this year.


When a child does have to be absent from school, we ask that you communicate with us about the absence BEFORE 8:00AM. When your child will be absent, you have three communication options:


Call Mrs. Kramp in the main office at 262-348-3040 to speak with her and/or leave a message.

REPORT ABSENCES ON POWERSCHOOL OR A PHONE CALL OR NOW YOU CAN EMAIL THE LMGS OFFICE AT lgmsoffice@badger.k12.wi.us


BE SURE TO LET THE OFFICE KNOW BY 8:00AM.

THANK YOU!
