GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Wednesday, March 25, 2015
“N” Day Classes
School Ops:
· At lunch stop by and open an account at our
student-run branch of the Y-12 Federal Credit Union! The Golden Gryphon branch is there to serve
you at lunch at the counter in the Commons.
Stop by and ask about the advantages of banking at school!
· If you didn’t pick up your progress report yesterday
you can get it at the front desk. Those
not picked up will be mailed home.
· As the weather is turning warmer, please take a
moment to assess your dressing in the morning.
Are you in compliance with dress code??
Remember, no spaghetti straps, no crop tops that don’t meet your
pants/skirts (no bare midriff), and if you have anything backless (or lace) or
with big openings in the side you need to have something underneath. Best bet is to save those others for the
evenings and weekends, please don’t make your teachers and admins have to be
fashion police!

speaking? The WGRY Gryphon TV newscast is looking for new students to join
their crew. Students have creative freedom over their stories and we're looking
