INDOOR TRACK RESULTS:
At Grand Valley State University last Saturday, Sam Casiano was the high placer among the Panther entries. Sam ran just off his PR, but it was still good for a season’s best with a time of 4:43.58, which was good for 49th place out of 175.
Sam wrapped up the day for the runners as he also ran the 4x800M Relay. Unfortunately, splits were not available for his race. The team also just missed qualifying for state by 3.9 seconds, luckily there will be other chances in the next few weeks.

📚 Academic Support Reminder
Attention students who are currently failing one or more classes:
This is your final week to improve your grades before the end of the semester.
Please plan to stay after school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday until 4:15 p.m. for homework help.
✔️ Turn in all missing work
✔️ Talk with your teachers about what you need to do to pass
Any class that is failed must be retaken in the summer or next school year, which can put you off track toward graduating with your class. Take advantage of this time—your teachers want to help you succeed.
__________________________________________________________________
This week during 2nd hour, your teacher will be taking a few minutes to review our hallway expectations to help keep everyone safe, respectful, and on time for class.
Here are some important reminders to keep in mind:
Walk calmly and keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself
Stay to the right and keep hallways clear
Use respectful language at all times
Be mindful of learning spaces—classrooms are in session
Get to class on time and head directly to your destination
🔐 Locker Information
If you have forgotten your locker combination, please see Mrs. Tyler in the counseling office.
