GMS Digital Day Plan (If Needed)

Ohio School districts are "allowed" 5 calamity days each school year, and at Graham Local Schools, we have currently used 4 of our 5 days.


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


GMS staff will be available to students throughout the day through email and google classroom. Teachers will also have specific times that they will host Google Meet sessions in which students can get online and ask specific questions about assignments they are to be working on during the closure.

Here is the video meet schedule for our teachers:

All Related Arts teachers: 9:00am - 10:30am

All ELA teachers: 9:15am - 10:45am

All Math teachers: 9:30am - 11:00am

All Science teachers: 9:45am - 11:15am

All Social Studies teachers: 10:00am - 11:30am


All work assigned to be completed on Digital Days is due no later than 5 school days from the closure.
