August 16 - 20, 2004

Good day, Tigers! Here are the notes for our highly successful week at
Griffin Middle School:

August 16, 2004    Tigers Return! Please report to your posted "A" period
class  by 8:20 AM.

Our students will receive many forms for parents to reveiw and complete
this evening including:

Activity/Participation Form (orange)
Clinic/Emergency Information Card (green)
Teacher expectations and classroom information letters
LCSB Attendance Policy (red)
Free/Reduced lunch form (optional)
School Insurance (Optional)
LCSB Code of Student Conduct Book (brown)

Please reveiw all forms and return them to your child's teachers ASAP!

Agenda Books will be given to each child during the third week of school.
Until then, all students will be given a copy of the Agenda Book page for
the week in order to practice using this communication tool. As such,
parents are expected to reveiw and sign the Agenda Book page each day so
that our teachers can check for signatures and notes from parents the next
morning. Thanks for your attention to this important matter.
