Teen Summer Reading Challenge
The Verona Public Library offers a Teen Summer Challenge for reading! Teens ages 12 - 18 will keep track of the time they read during the summer on Beanstack. Visit veronapubliclibrary.beanstack.org and/or visit the library website at this link to learn more about the challenge.
Save the Date! Back to School Night is August 28th from 5pm to 7pm at Badger Ridge. Student schedules will be available for pick up at Back to School Night. We kindly ask that families do not arrive before 5pm as our staff have a full work day in addition to the time needed to set up classrooms and common spaces for the event to be a smooth experience. We appreciate your cooperation with this, and are excited to meet with you and our middle schoolers!
As we are gearing up for the 24-25 school year, consider volunteering throughout the school year or even a one time opportunity at Badger Ridge! There are several upcoming opportunities for parents to be involved, such as helping out at Back to School Night, office help, recess supervision, and more. Please take a look at our BRMS Volunteer Registration Form. Please note that in order to volunteer, you will need to complete a background check. Information about this is embedded in the form linked above. Thank you, and we are looking forward to connecting and partnering with you!
We know that needs don’t go away in the summer! Badger Ridge Social Worker, Sarah Hall, will be available to support families through July 19th. You can reach Sarah by email at halls@verona.k12.wi.us or (608)313-4797. You may also choose to reach out to Joining Forces for family (contact below).
