Choice Transfer Portal to request enrollment at Griffin School for the 2025-26 school year (if you live in another district) is currently out of order due to a hardware issue. This portal may not be back up and accessible for another two weeks. Please let your families know that we are postponing our review of choice transfers until the portal comes back up.
Please don’t worry, there is still plenty of time for review for the next school year.
Thank you for your patience!
