ENROLLMENT StepS

  1. Indicate Your Course Selection (due April 23, 2025)

    The Academic Office will begin to build schedules for the 2025-2026 school year soon. In order to start this process, we are asking that you complete the survey linked below by April 23, 2025. Math placement assessments for all middle school students will take place on May 17, 2025.

  2. Complete the Athletics Interest Form

    Middle School is a wonderful time for students to branch out and try something new or keep up with something they love. Completing the form below will not lock your student into participating in any sport, but will allow you to stay in the loop on team updates. Middle School athletics start after the first day of school. Students that sign up for a middle school team will hear from their coaches by August 26, 2025.

    >Indicate your student's athletic interest here
  3. Submit Your Student's Updated Physical

    All students who plan to participate in athletics need to submit a physical form completed on or after April 15, 2025. Completed forms are required by the first day of practice.
    >Download a copy of the MHSAA Athletic Physical Form

    Hold onto your completed form to upload it to GryphOn, our online system. Information on how to access GryphOn to come this summer. If you have questions, please email the athletic department at athletics@greenhillsschool.org.
