Panther News - Weekly Update

Hello, Panther Families!

We have a fantastic week ahead filled with campus events, including our Stuff the Pantry drive and Panther Dens.

Important Schedule Note for Friday, Oct 2: We will be following our Panther Den Bell Schedule this Friday. Because of this modified schedule, student lunch times will be shifted from their normal hours. Please be sure to review the [Panther Den Bell Schedule] if you plan to drop off lunch or need to schedule an early student check-out.

Also, a quick reminder that we are two weeks away from the end of the 1st Nine Weeks grading period. Please take a moment to check grades in Skyward with your student and ensure any missing work or test corrections are completed before Thursday, October 8th.

From all of us,

Cheryl Oberkrieser
Principal | Shadow Ridge Middle School

Thank an outstanding SRMS staff member!
