Griffin Elementary School

Griffin Elementary is located on the corner of Robbins Road and Griffin Street in Grand Haven.  It is named in honor of Henry Griffin, a lifelong servant to our community.  The building was originally built in 1967 with two additions since that time.

Griffin is a 22-room building and serves children from preschool to 5th grade.  Our diverse population includes two self-contained special education classes (CI), one special education program (Mild CI/AI), a Young 5’s class and Kindergarten through 5th grade classrooms.  Griffin also offers Open Door Child Care and a Preschool Program.

Griffin School is an A+ School!  It is A+ not only because of MEAP scores, but Griffin has a caring, hardworking, conscientious staff.  The teachers, teacher assistants, support staff, secretary, media assistant, playground/lunch supervisors, maintenance/cleaning staff, and the parents go out of their way to meet the mission of our school.  Each and every one places a strong value in the education and positive self-concept of our students.
 
It is our quest to develop respectful, considerate, and polite students.  We stress that:

-Griffin School is a pleasant place for the children to be.
-Rules exist only for good reasons.
-Rules are enforceable.
-The goal is to develop self-discipline on the part of the child.
 
Griffin School operates a practical and positive program adhering to the Rights and Responsibility Code.  All students have a right to:

-Learn.
-Be treated with respect.                       
-Safeguard personal property.
-Feel good about self.
