Welcome to Griffin Elementary School
Our School: Century of Tradition & Outlook for Future
Below is a video prepared by Soaring Eagle News Network for the community to get to know us.
WELCOME TO 2010 - 2011 SCHOOL YEAR!
It's time for new haircuts and book bags! School starts on Monday, August 23rd. Teachers are ready to meet our new students bright and early. Our new school hours are 8:10am to 2:45pm. (NO STUDENT CHECKOUTS AFTER 2:15pm.) The Cafeteria will be serving breakfast beginning at 7:45am. Parents can send in lunch money for deposit into their child's lunch account Monday morning also.
We are pleased to welcome a new administrator, Ms. Ann Tankson to Griffin. While Ms. Tankson is new to Griffin, she is not new to Polk County Schools, having served as Principal at Sleepy Hill Middle School. She also served as the Reading First Coordinator, and the Director of the Reading Department. Ms. Tankson brings her years of experience to Griffin to assist our Principal, Mrs. Terry Broadnax.
