Welcome to our Griffith Elementary School website!
My name is Lori Andrews and I am happy to be the principal of Griffith Elementary School!Ā
Before coming to Griffith, I have had the opportunity to serve students throughout the Las Vegas valley and also in Texas, where I began my career in education. I have worked in a variety of capacities at both the elementary and middle school levels. Whether it was working with students as an elementary and middle school classroom teacher, serving students and teachers as a literacy specialist, or focusing on student achievement and celebrating successes as an elementary school administrator, I have always loved having the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of children. I have a great husband, four wonderful children, two adorable granddaughters, and when I'm not at school, I like to spend time with my family, travel, read a good book, or play with our family's dogs.
If you have questions or concerns about your child's education, remember, we are here for you. Speaking with your child's teacher is a great first step, as they can share information about your child's strengths and areas of growth, behavior, and motivation. You are also welcome to speak with me or one of our Assistant Principals, Mrs. Jimenez & Mrs. Gellens. Communication between family and the school is essential to student learning and growth. By working together as a team, we can help your child achieve success.
I am proud to be the principal at Griffith Elementary School, and I look forward to a great year as we 'Get There the Griffith Way'!Ā
If you would like any additional information please contact our school at 702-799-4200.
