π ATTENTION GRIFFIN FAMILIES π§οΈ
We ask that all families of students labeled "walkers" line up in our CAR LINE today in order to pick up students at dismissal.
This improves the safety of students and staff during this storm.
Pedimos que todas las familias que tienen hijos que "caminan a casa" recojan a sus hijos en la lΓnea de autos a la hora de despedida.
Esto nos ayuda mantener la seguridad de nuestros alumnos y docentes.
