Dear Griffin Community,

Through the Safe Start Leon Plan, the Superintendent and School Board are providing parents the opportunity to make a change to their current educational delivery method of Brick and Mortar (in-person schooling) or Digital Academy (online learning) for the third nine weeks.

To prepare and plan for the third nine weeks of the school year, we ask parents who are requesting a change to their current educational plan to please contact their school between the dates of  Monday, November 23, and Wednesday, December 18.

  *   Please email one of the following:
     *   Tarran Jefferson - Guidance Counselor ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
     *   Jennifer Powell - Assistant Principal ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
     *   Or call the school - 850-617-5353

 If you are staying with your child's current educational plan, no action is needed.  The new educational plan and third nine weeks will begin on Wednesday, January 20, 2021.

Whether a parent decides to change plans or continue with their current plan, this choice will continue through the end of the third nine weeks. Please be aware changing an educational plan may impact your student's schedule, teacher, and lunch period.

  To highlight the process:

  *   Inform the school of a change of educational plan from November 23 through December 18
  *   Class size, schedule, teacher, and lunch period may be impacted by making a change
  *   Your new choice of educational plan will begin for students on Wednesday, January 20, 2021
  *   This choice will remain in effect through the end of the third nine weeks

Thank you for your flexibility during these unprecedented times. Students and families throughout our state and country are experiencing some of the same issues, concerns, and anxieties.  In meeting our mission of providing an educational plan during a pandemic, it is a priority for us to give families options to choose from that best fit their needs. The school's current status is not ideal, but it provides the closest thing to normalcy we have.  We will get through this period together.
