Welcome to the 2024-25 school year. I will be back in 6th grade this year with lots of excitement, especially when it comes to teaching math. This year will mark my 14th year here at Meadow Hill.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Meadow Hill over the past decade and have gotten to know many wonderful families. I look forward to continuing this tradition. 

I now use Google Classroom for the majority of my daily/weekly postings. Each student is expected to join their assigned class. Codes are on my school web page plus invites have been sent out via Blackboard. Parents should also be able to see all postings within the Google Classroom. I try to post videos of class materials as often as time allows me to do so within Google Classroom. These short videos are filled with examples of problems that we are currently working on in class. If a student is struggling with homework or is preparing for an upcoming assessment, this is by far the best place to start. If a student is absent, all materials will be found in Google Classroom with examples of how to complete the assignments. Yes, I do expect students to know what they missed before they return from any absences.  I will also use Blackboard when contacting parents for any upcoming information, usually once per week. Please pay close attention to Blackboard for this information will keep you abreast of what your child is doing in class and is extremely important for knowing when summative assessments will be taking place.

Please know that I am extremely hard working and am completely dedicated to providing your child with a solid foundation for their future. I am more than willing to chat with email being the easiest way to contact me. My school email address is degriffith@mcpsmt.org. Again, if you ever feel the need to chat, do not hesitate. Let's hope this year is exciting and filled with many educational opportunities, Mr. Griffith.
