Mrs. Griswold is Law’s academic tutor and is located in the TLC during all periods.

If students ever need help with their work, Griswold has a small, quiet room to learn and focus. Griswold is kind, welcoming, and is ready to help students with their school work.

“I love helping students with skills such as time management, organization, and work completion,” Griswold said. “I also enjoy when students come to see me to work independently in a quiet, relaxed study environment.”

Prior to being an academic tutor at Law, Griswold was an ELA teacher at a middle school. She realized she was ready for a change and was curious to see what it would be like to work with high schoolers.

“When students work conscientiously with Mrs. Griswold, their grades increase and their study habits improve,” school counselor Ms. Raymo said. “Mrs. Griswold creates a positive and comforting environment.”

Students enjoy being in a quiet place to do work.

“I started working in Mrs. Griswold’s room because I wanted a quiet place to study and the more and more I went, the more I got done,” junior Lila Hoxie said. “She was so sweet and always offered to help us with whatever we needed. She gave me new books and movie recommendations that were always really good.”

Students at Law who have consistently worked with Griswold have seen academic improvements.

“She sat down with me and we made a list from the hardest assignments to the easiest ones,” sophomore Brady O’Neil said. “Doing that helped a lot because I learned how to manage my time better.” 

Students said that Griswold has a lot of patience and is a great support system. 

“Mrs. Griswold is helpful because she really takes the time to support you while you’re doing your work,” junior Quinn Willett said. “Having someone in the room with you while completing assignments who will give guidance is very helpful. Working with her is different from working in other classes because she has a quiet, calming environment to get your work done well.”
