It is vital to ask the questions on the checklist each and every day to prevent the possibility of exposing other students or staff. This checklist is to be filled out at home, daily on the honor system. It is not required to be handed into the school.
If you answer yes to any of the questions on the checklist:
- Keep your student home.
- Let the school office know the questions which were answered yes.

Bike for Brooks
On Friday, September 25, Badger senior Brooks Guif was presented with an E-Bike, the results of last year’s “Bike for Brooks” campaign in which people from our community and beyond bought pies and donated money to help purchase this bike for Brooks. It was a late birthday surprise, presented by Badger Associate Principal Mike Giovingo who has mentored Brooks during his Badger years. At the presentation, Mr. Giovingo read the following statement:
“Happy 18th birthday. On behalf of the Badger family and our community we would like to present this E-Bike to you. We hope that you will get many years of enjoyment and service from this bike. As we see you riding this bike around town (under the speed limit of course) WE will smile knowing we had a part in making this dream come true. But on behalf of all who made today a reality we want to thank YOU, in advance, for the courage and perseverance you show us on a daily basis. You remind us that it is not what a person is given at birth that separates him/her from others, but more so what they decide to do with what we are given that truly sets them apart. Brooks for those reasons and many more you are truly one of a kind. Have fun with your bike buddy.”
