HOW WILL MY STUDENT KNOW IF THEY ARE CLOSE TO REACHING THEIR GOALS?

  • Parents can also check their student’s progress anytime on the Runner’s Club website by clicking on the “Lap Form” button at the bottom of this page. Fill out the short form and you will receive an email to sign up to the Lap Tracking site within 24-48 hours.

No need to fill out the form if you did so in the past. Here is that website if you already have a log in and password: https://www.laptracker.net

END OF YEAR CEREMONY:

There will be a school wide ceremony in April to celebrate and congratulate those students who have met both goals – Participating at least 17 times AND reaching or exceeding their grade level lap goal.

WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WHO DO NOT MEET THE GOALS?

They can try again next year for a medal and party! This is designed to be a fun event to get outside and exercise. The medal and party is just a bonus for those that were the most dedicated throughout the year.
