Principal's Message

Griffith Families,

On behalf of our Griffith staff, we are honored to welcome our new 6th grade students and continuing 7th and 8th grade Bulldogs to the 2024-25 school year! While this letter is an introduction to start the year, we encourage you to check the Griffith STEAM Magnet MS webpage and Instagram frequently for further updates as the school year goes on.

We look forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our learners can achieve their highest potential and build upon this year’s English and Math academic gains! We recognize that to be successful, our students need support from both home and school. As partners, we share this responsibility for our students success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our duties. We ask that you guide and support their learning by ensuring that each student:

  • Attends school daily and arrives on time 8:00am, ready for the day’s learning experience
  • Is involved and attend school activities, parent nights, and conferences
  • Communicate with teachers regularly to support your student
  • Support the rules and discipline policies of Griffith STEAM Magnet MS and the District
  • Check student work regularly
