Weekly Update 8/16/20
Principal's Message
We are excited to have all of our teachers back in the building as we prepare for the start of the school year. We have many great learning opportunities planned for our staff and will continue to provide a wonderful educational experience for our students. Obviously this is not the way that I envisioned starting my principalship at Grizzell, but regardless I am thankful for the opportunity to work with an amazing group of staff, students, and parents! Please read through the information provided below as I hope to clarify some of the questions that you might have.
Thank you for your continued support and have a great week!
Andy
