• Use school-appropriate language-No profanity or inappropriate gestures.

• Keep facilities clean. Use trash bins and take care of school property.

• Youth Badger Football Players: If a supervised end zone area with coaches is provided, players must stay there. If it is not provided then middle school players should sit in the middle school section or with parents.

The cost for student to attend a home Football Game is $3.00.

Picture ReTake Day: This picture day is for any student who would like their school photo retaken (only those that purchased photos previously) or for any student who did NOT have their school photo taken on August 18, 2025.

This will be the last picture day of the school year.

If you want your student's picture retaken, you need have your student bring the original photo packet you purchased before a retake is done. If you did not purchase pictures previously, no retakes will be allowed.

LGMS is having our annual Scholastic Book Fair from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3, 2025. In addition to all ELA classes getting the chance to come and shop, we will also be open during both sets of Parent Teacher Conferences for families to shop for the holidays. Every purchase helps our school get more books into the hands of readers. Come out and join the fun!

Lake Geneva Middle School invites the community to attend its annual Veterans Day celebration on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. in the middle school gym.

The program will feature patriotic music performed by the school’s seventh and eighth-grade orchestras, bands, and choirs, directed by Mrs. Lauren Klement, Mrs. Amanda Krause, and Mrs. Kim May. Mrs. Deanna Deal will accompany the choirs. A highlight of the event will be the combined performance of “God Bless America.” The audience will be invited to participate in a sing-along.

Colors will be posted by the Color Guard from Post 24 of The American Legion, located in Lake Geneva. Veterans who attend the program will be invited to “pass the microphone” to introduce themselves and announce when and where they served.

“We’re looking forward to honoring and celebrating our local heroes who have so bravely served our country,” said Anne Heck, school principal.  This program has been extremely rewarding to our students and the Veterans,” she said.

Following the assembly, community members or family members of students who are veterans, spouses of veterans, or widows of veterans are invited to a luncheon at 11:00 a.m. Students from Mrs. Sarah Opie’s family and consumer science class will prepare and serve lunch.

Veterans wishing to attend the luncheon should call the school to RSVP at 262-348-3000 by Wednesday, October 29, 2025. 

The middle school is located at 600 Bloomfield Road in Lake Geneva.

When to Send Your Child to School or Keep Them Home?

At Lake Geneva Schools, we know that regular attendance is key to academic success! Being in class daily helps students build strong habits, stay engaged, and gain valuable social skills. However, we also want to maintain a healthy, germ-free learning environment.

Use this guide (https://bit.ly/healthyLGS) to help decide when your child should attend school or stay home to recover. If your child has a fever over 100.4°F, vomiting, or diarrhea in the last 24 hours, it's best for them to rest at home. For minor symptoms like a runny nose, if there’s no fever, they’re ready for class!

When in doubt, contact the school health office, and let's work together to keep everyone healthy and learning!

Hello LGMS Parents/Guardians!  

We are very excited for this coming school year! For our athletics, we do have forms that are required for participation. We will be having parents/guardians complete the concussion/cardiac arrest agreement (waiver) through google form (linked below). This form is needed for your child to participate in ANY athletic intramural or interscholastic sport at LGMS but only needs to be filled out once per year. This form also needs to be filled out with your child. We want athletes to know and understand the signs and symptoms of a concussion or possible cardiac arrest.

All of the information needed is linked on the google form. This google form will need to be filled out prior to the first practice of the sport your student signs up for to be able to participate.

Also required is a school physical form. Please see link to the form below. This form is to be filled out by the parent and physician.

Exciting times at Lake Geneva Middle School!

Sixth graders in Mrs. Ward’s science classes took on the Red Cup Challenge — stacking six cups using only a special contraption made of string and a rubber band… without ever touching the cups with their hands! The activity focused on teamwork, cooperation, and problem-solving, and these students were up for the challenge.
