A Note from Our Principal, Mrs. Gayle
We have completed our FCAT testing for the 2006 school year. Our students
did a great job and I am sure that our results will reflect everyone’s hard
work! Way to go, Tigers!
As of this writing, there are 4 days left in the third nine weeks. Please
continue to encourage your child to work hard, turn in all assignments on
time, and expect the best each school day. I am confident that the grades
from the 3rd nine weeks will make everyone happy!
Finally, please be aware that 3/4 of the school year is over! That means
that our students know what to expect when it comes to our school rules,
dress code, and positive expectations. Behaviors that constitute
suspensions will be enforced and inappropriate behavior will not be
tolerated. The faculty and staff of Griffin Middle School intends on using
each minute of the school day for instruction and to promote student
achievement. Again, continue to encourage your child to do their best each
day! Have a positive and highly productive week!
Tiger Spirit Week - Dress Code will be enforced throughout this week!
Monday: Glasses Day - Wear reading glasses, sunglasses, etc.
Tuesday: Twin Day - Find a partner & dress alike on this day!
Wednesday: Dress to Impress Day - Let’s show our professional side at GMS!
