Principal's Principles
QUARTER 2 !!!!!
I just want to tell you all "Thank You" for all your work and efforts this first quarter. I think we are off to a really good start. We (I) can only make improvements through our honest and open communication. Please continue to reach out to me when you have questions and concerns. We all have to take the time to learn our communication styles, but I am committed to being the Instructional Leader you deserve.
Observations
- Please make sure to check my calendar to schedule your PreConference & Observation. We are rockin' & rollin'. SIX Observations completed. 15 more teachers already scheduled for October. If you have not scheduled yet, please try to get scheduled by Thanksgiving Break.
Principally yours,
~DG

Spirit Day is a means of speaking out against LGBTQ bullying and standing with LGBTQ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Pledging to "go purple" on Spirit Day is a way for Griffith to visibly show solidarity with LGBTQ youth and to take part in the largest, most visible anti-bullying campaign in the world.
