Report Cards
Report cards will go home with each Griffin Middle School student on
Friday, January 12, 2007. 6th grade students will also receive information
regarding promotional requirements. Stay tuned for information regarding a
6th Grade Success Parent Academy. This academy will review the information
regarding helping your 6th grade child earn promotion. We will also
discuss our school based interventions including homework center and our
upcoming Success Academy. Know that we are committed to our partnership
with you in promoting success for all students at Griffin Middle School!
Day of Dialogue
As we celebrate the King Holiday, Tallahasseans will have the
opportunity to voice their opinion about things we all can do to connect
with people, build trust with others and help us get involved. The "TALK
TO ACTION" event is about putting our civic responsibilities in motion.
Join our community leaders in this interactive forum to discuss
suggestions for inclusion in the list of 150 things our community can do
to move from "TALK TO ACTION." We encourage citizens to get involved.
For more information or to submit your suggestions online, visit
