Weekly Updates
Grifton School Updates and Reminders for the week of February 9th, 2026:
Greetings Bulldog Families!
We hope that everyone enjoyed their snow days and we are anxious to see everyone back on Monday, February 9th.
Just a reminder with the inclement weather days the last few day, and based on our remote learning plan submitted to the state, student attendance will be based on whether students return their remote work learning packets/assignments. Students are to be given 5 school days after PCS returns to in-person learning to submit the work.
The 100th day of school celebration will be on Tuesday. Students can dress like they are 100 years old.
Students in grades k-1 will have a visit from the dental business on Monday, February 9th.
Spirit Rock is up and running. The spirit rock is a fun way to celebrate birthdays, accomplishments, events, and show your school spirit. Your design will stay up for 1 week. If you are interested in painting the rock, please sign up on signupgenius. The link is below.
