We’re moving ALL school communication to Rooms via the GLS Falcons app 📱—and will no longer use Class Dojo, Remind, Telegram, etc. beginning the 2025-2026 school year.
✅ Stay up to date on district news, events, and classroom messages in ONE place!
✅ Download the GLS Falcons app from your App Store or Google Play today.
✅ Enable notifications to never miss an update!
Before the start of school, you will receive a text or email notification with instructions to activate your parent account in Rooms. This will ensure you have access to classroom-specific announcements and messaging with your child’s teachers.
With Rooms fully integrated into our GLS Falcons app, you will now have one central place for everything Graham Local Schools.
Thank you for your support as we make this transition to keep our Falcon Family connected!
