FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU
Dear Griffin Community/Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone had a restful and joyful Thanksgiving break! As we dive into December, let’s stay focused and finish this semester strong. With only a few weeks until winter break, it’s the perfect time to buckle down, stay engaged, and make the most of every learning opportunity. Parents, thank you for your continued support in ensuring students are present, prepared, and ready to shine. Let’s work together to make this month a success!
Warm regards,
Principal Soileau
"Finish Strong: Attendance Matters!"
As we approach winter break, let’s rally together to help our students finish the semester on a high note! Parents, please encourage your students to stay focused and committed by attending school every day—even in the days leading up to and following the break. Consistent attendance sets the foundation for success, so let’s make every day count! Spread the message:
"Attendance matters—every day, every student!"
