There are many good things to celebrate about the third quarter such as there were only 229 cases of truancy versus 357 last year at this time. In addition, there were only 11 cases of vandalism compared to 23 last year at this time. In-school suspension and out-of-school suspension cases are at a lower rate than they were at this time last year.

However, there are also some things GRB needs to work on. Technology violations made a huge spike from 11 this past year to 23 this year. Also, fighting had a significant increase from 15 last year to 24 this year.

One of the main issues here at GRB is students being late to classes. Even though this year has seen a decrease in tardies from 590 instances last year to 566 instances this year, tardies continue to cause issues as students are missing valuable class time.

Senior Shaylee Cealie said, “I’m glad to have third quarter over and am looking forward to my last quarter of high school heading toward graduation.”

“Third quarter was very busy, but productive. I can’t believe how fast the school year seems to be moving,” ENL Teacher Miss. Turley said.

Junior Gaby Ramirez Vasquez said,“Third quarter was difficult because there was a lot of work, but I got lots of help from my teachers and friends.”

Sophomore Wilder Reyes said, “It was very good and I got high honor roll!”

Finish the year strong, GRB!
