GMS Open House
Please be sure to complete/update online forms
** Consider Final Forms updates like a "re-enrollment" that needs updated every year and throughout the year if there are changes to address or contact information. This is required for everyone **
Prior to the school year, you will need to make updates to your child's Emergency Medical and Transportation forms! This needs completed every year. If nothing has changed, you should only need to verify information.
Students will not be able to pick up their schedules if forms are not completed on the parent side. We will have computers available in the office.

Information about GMS early schedule pickup.
It's Ohio Tax Free weekend. This is a great time to shop for school supplies. We will also do our best to provide "extra" supplies for those that may be in need during open house. These were items purchased by our Student Council, our staff, or came through generous donations.
The Graham FLIGHT Programs are hosting a Family and Community Night tomorrow, July 23, from 4:30pm to 7:30pm! Everyone is invited to come play games, enjoy free snacks, and learn about some organizations and businesses within our community. We hope to see you there!

Seventh grade science students finish the year with their end of year choice projects. Students chose from ten rubric graded projects including: homesteading, dream home design and construction, habitat restoration, habitat boxes, scientific collections, animal husbandry, repurposed materials, science board game creation, etc. These students have worked on these projects for the last weeks of school.
Annually, 8th graders complete monuments to the inventors of the Industrial Revolution. Projects include research, a monument build, and creation of an abstract. Each year students in grades 6 and 7 then choose their favorites from each class. Here are the chosen best projects.
GMS is excited to announce the Staff and Student PBIS Committee for the upcoming school year:
8th graders - Ava Tudor, Carson McCulla, Brycen Hanes, Briar Perdue, and Garrett Bailey
7th graders- Alice Rogers, Adelyn Guidera, Mackenzie Crooks, Alaina Lockwood, Lily Parke, Carolyn Taylor, and Audrey Smith
These students were recognized at our final PBIS assembly in May.
This team will work alongside staff members to celebrate staff and students as well as work to improve upon and build a climate and culture all students and staff deserve to have at school.
Staff members include Ms. Packard-Cooper, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Webb, Mr. Wical, and Mr. Guidera.
Reminder: Information for incoming grade 7 students:
Ohio Law requires that all seventh graders must have received multiple immunizations. Before starting school, students in the 7th grade must have a Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) and a Meningococcal vaccine. Written proof of receiving these vaccinations must be on file in the school office. Students who do not have evidence of proper immunizations will be excluded from school after 14 days, per Ohio Revised Code.
If your doctor says immunization might be harmful to your student, a waiver must be on file. If you object to immunization for good cause, for example religious convictions, a waiver must be on file.
If you need them to be faxed, our Fax number at GMS is 937-663-4674
Today and tomorrow from 8-2 are the final times to pick up report cards and state test scores in person at GMS. We will process mailing next week. We cannot mail any end of year awards or medications that were not picked up. Medications will be discarded appropriately after Thursday.
