Hello Falcon families! We will be using GES Online Day #1 on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Please review the information below and reach out to Mrs. Shreve, Mr. Myers and/or your child's teacher(s) for details.
Thank you!

Your child's teacher has reached out via Rooms with specific information and begun sharing any paper/pencil materials that will be needed for the day. This is what you need to know about online days...

*Students will be expected to complete paper/pencil activities and assignments that are sent home. So, when your child's teacher sends home any materials. Please complete materials indicated for DAY #1 on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

*Teachers will be available for questions or needs on both Rooms and by email from 8:15a.m. to 3:30p.m. Also, on an online day(s), each teacher will share a Google MEET link through Rooms. From 2:15p.m. to 3:30p.m. on an online day(s), families and students can use this link to check-in on camera with their teacher(s). Reminder…the purpose of an online check-in would be to ask questions and/or seek clarification regarding assigned work.

*Attendance will be taken on each online day. A day's attendance will be earned when a student turns in the assigned work on the next in-person school day. We recognized that not all students will have access to a computer/internet in their homes. Therefore, logging on to Google MEET is not required. However, in order to earn a day's attendance, all students must turn in assigned work on the next in-person school day following the online day(s).

**IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK, PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL TO NOTIFY OF THE ILLNESS (just as you would on an in-person school day)**

If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Shreve or Mr. Myers or your child's teacher(s). Please check Rooms and your child's take-home folder for online day information/assignments.

Happy Snow Day, GES Falcon Family! It’s Habit Hero time!

We’ve made it back to Habit 1: Be Proactive! Falcons reminded us how to take responsibility for our own actions by remembering what is within our own circle of control. When we do this, we thoroughly think about and very intentionally choose what actions we will take to best set ourselves up for greatness! We take personal initiative to achieve success!

Good afternoon GES Falcon Families!

As we start the second semester of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Nance, and this is my first year as the person leading the library at Graham Elementary. I have worked for the district for six years and am enjoying this new chapter. I am also a proud, multigenerational Falcon alum.

This year, some of your students may have brought home notices regarding unreturned library books. We have implemented a checkout policy requiring that a book be returned before a new one can be checked out. Please note that if books are not returned, a charge will be added to your student’s school fees.

In addition, any books not returned from the 2024–2025 school year forward are subject to charges.

Please send any library books in with your student, or feel free to communicate with me if a book has been damaged or misplaced.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to serving your students this year.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Nance
Graham Elementary Library

Allergy Protocol

⛄When the Weather Outside is Frightful...Potential Online Learning Days⛄

As the Winter season comes in full-swing, so might come more calamity days. Ohio districts are "allowed" five calamity days each year and, at Graham Local Schools, we have currently used 3 of our 5 days.

In the event that all five of our calamity days are used, Graham Local Schools will implement "online learning days".

Soon, your child's teacher will reach out via Rooms with specific information and begin sharing any needed paper/pencil materials that will be needed for the day(s). For now, this is what you need to know about online days...

*Students will be expected to complete paper/pencil activities and assignment that are sent home. So, when your child's teacher sends home any materials, please store them in a safe place for future use.

*Teachers will be available for questions or needs on both Rooms and by email from 8:15a.m. to 3:30p.m. Also, on an online day(s), each teacher will share a Google MEET link through Rooms. From 2:15p.m. to 3:30p.m. on an online day(s), families and students can use this link to check-in on camera with their teacher(s).

*Attendance will be taken on each online day. A day's attendance will be earned when a student checks in during the Google MEET link for an online day AND/OR turns in the assigned work on the next in-person school day. We recognized that not all students will have access to a computer/internet in their homes. Therefore, logging on to Google MEET is not required. However, in order to earn a day's attendance, all students must turn in assigned work on the next in-person school day following the online day(s).

If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Shreve or Mr. Myers. Also, please watch Rooms and your child's take-home folder closely for online day information/assignments. Teachers will provide all necessary details if/when online days become necessary.

Tuesday was a day to celebrate the greatness of our GES learners! Students with ZERO behavior referrals for quarter two earned a water bottle sticker and their choice of another prize. This was celebrated during each grade levels' lunchtime today, and students were beaming with Falcon Pride! We are proud of our Falcons every day!

Students in our Graham High School shop class worked with the Graham Elementary kindergarten team to create a family gift that will bring blessings for years to come! Each student gifted their family with a wooden snowman cut to their current height. Students were all smiles as they decorated their special snowman gift!

Enjoy a restful Winter break, Falcon families!
