Hello Badger Ridge Families! This year is already going so quickly! As we are approaching the end of the 1st semester, our students have worked so hard this quarter for a deserving break. We have several updates for you as we prepare to turn from this well-deserved time off, so sit back, cozy up, and take it all in. We wish you a happy winter break and a happy new year!
Family Community Needs and Engagement Survey
This is the final opportunity to fill out the Family Community Needs and Engagement Survey. When we return from winter break, the family engagement team will begin our data analysis of the responses submitted, and will begin developing a plan for two-way communication and connection. We have determined our winner for the advisory challenge, however! Congratulations to Ms. Humphreys and Ms. Imhoff-Bebeau's 6th grade advisory for having the most students whose parents filled out the survey! They won a donut party this morning for this challenge!
The adult/family winners of the raffle will be notified after winter break with the prizes for the families who took the survey. Again, we really appreciate each of your times you took from your days to complete this important information. We appreciate your help in making our school a better place for you and our students.

Safety Reminders for Morning Drop Off
Please take the time to re-familiarize yourself with the communication shared in October regarding morning drop off. We continue to observe student drop offs in the middle of crosswalks, against the curbs of lawns of residential homes, or drop offs in areas without sidewalks. With our winter season finally arriving, these drop off practices are safety hazards. The curbs are or will be filled with snow and ice, and these areas do not have adequate salt/sand for safe walking. This creates a potential for a student to slip and fall into the road with oncoming traffic or students have the potential to injure themselves. If you are dropping your child off in the West Lawn Avenue loop in the morning, please pull forward past the cones and drop students off on the sidewalks. We really appreciate your attention to this matter.
Safety Reminders for After School Pick Up
Our after school supervisors are observing students crossing the street in between oncoming traffic in the parking lot near West Lawn Ave and not in the crosswalks. If your child walks to and from school, please remind them to use crosswalks at all times.
BRMS/CKCS Band Fundraiser
Badger Ridge and Core Knowledge have a thriving music and band department. Kids are passionate about music making and learning and have a great time learning and making music with their peers.
Currently the set of timpani students are playing on are ~40 years old and in disrepair. In the Verona Area School District, we strive toward having all students achieve grade level standards, one thing that students need is equipment that will allow them to achieve those academic goals.
We are raising funds for a set of 4 Ludwig Polished Copper Timpani with Gauges. Not only will these drums be used for daily Badger Ridge and Core Knowledge student learning, but they will be used for Savanna Oaks Middle School band concerts, in addition to community events and concerts like Verona Area Community Theatre who frequent the BRMS PAC and rent our equipment.
Thank you so much for your donation!
