Griffis: Parent Meetings begin tonight. Please see details below. You may park in the back of Griffis and enter through the cafeteria.
Good Afternoon 4th grade parents!
4th grade students will be able to participate in Robotics this year through an application process. All of our Griffis Teams last year advanced to the World Competition. The future looks BRIGHT for our students!
More details will be sent at a later date regarding Robotics and the application process. We want to get a head start on fundraising. It is quite an expensive but also an AMAZING event to attend.
Our first opportunity to raise money is volunteering to work the Varsity Football Game on Aug. 26. The money raised at this will be divided by all of the robotics programs that send participants to help.
If you are able to volunteer and support our Robotics Teams, please use the link below to sign up. Your students may help you work also. They always seem to enjoy working. You do not have to work the entire game. The have it split up by 1st and 2nd half.
Even though we don't know who will be on the Robotics team just yet, you will be supporting an amazing organization and we would be very appreciative.

Dismissal for our first day went pretty smoothly!
Here are some important reminders to help us to dismiss efficiently!
*Pre K-1st grade are picked up in the back. Older siblings will dismiss in the back with them.
*2nd-4th are picked up in the front.
*If you do not have a car tag to display please message your child’s teacher and they will send one home. Or you can create your own! Name and grade level written on the tag.
*Pre K, K & 1 walkers need a parent to meet them at pickup unless they have an older sibling with them.

Just a reminder of the NEW dismissal procedures.
Front pick up: 2nd-4th
Back pick up: Pre K- 1st
Older siblings will use younger siblings dismissal location and will be together.
Back Walkers will meet you at the corner of the back Griffis parking lot and Secretariat.
Front walkers will meet you at the stop sign.
All walkers and car rider parents please have your signs visible. If you don’t have one please reach out to your child’s teacher.
We have had a GROOVY first day!
We are ready to see our Griffis students today! You may walk your student in today and tomorrow. Pre K and Kinder parents, please join us in the library after you walk you lil 🦊to class for PTO’s Yahoo and Boohoo breakfast 💚💚💚
Don’t miss joining Mrs. Colwell and Mrs Gray for our FB Live Bedtime Story! We will see y’all at 7PM!
Today, our school lunch system crash at Lee and Griffis, and students in grades PK-4 were marked as “inactive” instead of “active”. The company has fixed this issue and students have been restored in our database. Do not worry if you login to www.myschoolaccount.com and see your student(s) account not there. It takes 24 hours for the system to update. Be assured that the money in their account did not disappear and can be seen from our system.
If you still cannot see your student tomorrow, try re-adding their ID number and name. If this does not work, please email bsinema@caddomillsisd.org or call 903.527.3164 ext. 6030. We apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that every student who wants and needs a meal will be served.
