Mrs. Griswold is the academic tutor at Jonathan Law, assisting students with school work, organization, time management, and more.
Before coming to Law, Griswold taught sixth grade Language Arts.
“I knew I would like to transition from middle school to high school,” Griswold said. “I like that I get to know so many different students and help them however they need.”
Griswold creates a learning environment where students take on challenges and ask for support. Whether it’s one-on-one sessions or drop-ins, Griswold is always available in the TLC to help.
“Mrs. Griswold communicates effectively with all staff to support students,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy said. “She’s a valuable resource, providing students with an additional layer of support beyond the classroom.”
Senior Samuel Steven often stops by Griswold’s room for academic assistance.
“Mrs. Griswold helps guide the direction of my writing,” Steven said. “When I’m unsure, she serves as someone I can bounce ideas off of. She breaks down assignments into manageable tasks, making essays feel less intimidating.”
Steven said that Griswold helps him breaks down daunting tasks into manageable sections and helps him set attainable goals. These goals help Steven stay focused and use his time efficiently.
“During my periods with Mrs. Griswold, she set attainable goals for me within that time, such as having an introduction finished by the end of a block period,” Steven said.
Griswold not only enhances students academic performance but also instills a sense of confidence and resilience in the face of challenges.
