Student Orientation: Led by GMS WEB Leaders
Thursday, August 6, 2026
Welcome to the Griffiths Thunderbird family! We’re excited to help incoming 6th graders and new students (and their parents/guardians) get ready for a great year. There are two orientation events on August 6.
Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Griffiths Gym
Students, join us for a fun morning of orientation activities designed to get you ready for middle school: a school introduction to our campus, resources, and services; a chance to meet new classmates and start making friends; activities and games led by our GMS WEB leaders; and a popsicle sale. Bring cash to treat yourself and support ASB!
