Good morning
All public schools in the Beaver Dam Unified School District will be closed on Friday, May 5. All school related events and activities are canceled today.

Specific information will be sent to parents and the community by 1:00 on Friday, May 5. We are asking for your help and support as we work with the Beaver Dam Police Department to resolve this very frustrating issue.
