GRYPHON ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Monday, March 24, 2014
“L” Day
·
Hope everyone had a great spring break. Here are some reminders as we enter this very
busy and fast-paced sprint to the end of this school year:
o
We all enjoy a professional environment not driven
by irritating bells – but this is a freedom in jeopardy. You need to be self-monitoring and use
whatever tools needed (like an iPad alarm) to get to class on time.
o
Be respectful of your environment. This old building is a grand place, but it
will only stay that way if it is treated with respect. Help take care of it and keep a clean campus.
o
Be discriminating in your decisions. If you bought some of the newest fashions
over break, please keep our dress code in mind in the mornings. Save those tops and jeans with cut outs and
exposed skin for the weekends – don’t wear them to school. Don’t make your teachers be fashion police –
follow the dress code!

If we had no winter, the
spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome.
