Welcome to the Beaver Dam Unified School District!
The Beaver Dam Unified School District offers an exceptional educational environment for students, involving them in academic projects, co-curricular activities and community service opportunities through the school year. Student growth and achievement of all children is the vision of our school district.
Beaver Dam offers half-day 4-year-old kindergarten and all-day 5-year-old kindergarten classes. Starting children off right - being prepared to meet their individual needs, understanding their individual personal development, and preparing to work with and for them as they grow and learn - is the primary goal of our early childhood and kindergarten programs.

Immunizations: Wisconsin state law (252.04) requires that all students be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles and rubella. Written evidence of completed basic and booster immunizations, including the day, month, and year is required. This requirement will be waived for an individual student only for health, religious, or personal conviction reasons. If students are not fully immunized upon admittance to school, they must have received at least one dose of each vaccine required for their grade within 30 days of admission. They must remain on schedule, and complete all required immunizations within one year.
