Thanks to a great partnership, our GMS 8th Grade class will once again receive sponsorship from Ohio Corn and Soybean Council / Grow Next Gen to attend the Farm Science Review in late September.

Farm Science Review is an agriculture trade and education show that offers the opportunity to learn about the latest agriculture innovations and visit with over 600 exhibitors.

This is also an opportunity for our students to continue to expand on their learning at GMS in grade 7 Science and Introduction to Agriculture classes.

School Fees and Final Forms (including student signature) must be up to date in order to attend

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, Diptheria, 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 or waivers 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

** We have shared this new expectation on multiple occasions with students already this year. Monday will begin enforcement.

Graham Middle School is fortunate to have multiple water bottle filling stations throughout the building. Students are welcome to bring their own water bottles. However, water bottles may only contain water. Students are not permitted to bring coffee, tea, pop, juice, gatorade, etc to class with them. Water bottles must have a lid that will close securely to prevent leaks. Water bottles with a squirt top of any kind are not permitted. Water bottles are to remain on the floor in class, not on student desks.

Start of program: September 18th

Monday through Thursday

Info and applications are available outside the office at all times

2:30 start time

5:30 end time (all 3 school’s programs to be on the same route).

Reach out if you have any questions about any students or activities.

Frontline Education has released the ProgressBook Parent and Student Mobile App (aka ParentAccess app) to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This app is available for your parents/students to download and use now. For those that choose to download, the app takes the place of the mobile web version of ParentAccess that parents and students have long used. In addition, Frontline has produced an overview video that can be shared with your users (video link is also in the attached instructional sheet).
