GES News From the Nest
August 23, 2026
Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, Graham Elementary School will return to ClassDOJO as our primary communication platform for families.
Families and stakeholders are encouraged to continue following GES on Facebook and on the GLS Falcons app. However, ClassDOJO will be the primary means of communication/information sharing for Graham Elementary.
**For families with children in multiple buildings, please be advised that GMS and GHS will continue using the GLS Falcons app (Rooms/Communicate) as their communication platform**
More information will be coming at the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
What GES families should do now...
- If you do not currently have ClassDOJO installed on your cell phone, use this LINK the QR code below to install the app and view a short informational video. No further action needs to be taken until GES Open House on Tuesday, August 25.
- At GES Open House, teachers will distribute directions for families to link their child's/children's classrooms.
Final Forms must be updated at the start of every school year. Students will not be included on class lists until Final Forms are complete. Please use this LINK to update your children's information.
School fees are an important piece of providing the materials needed for our learner's daily learning. In order for students to attend grade level field trips, school fees must be paid in full. Please see the GES Family Falcon Focus for field trip dates, and watch for updates to this document as grade levels add field trip dates. School fees can be paid via check (Graham Elementary School) or cash at GES, online using this LINK.
Please contact the Graham Elementary office at 937-663-4449 with any questions.
Graham Local School District is proud to partner with Community Health and Wellness Partners to provide services for the learners and families we serve!

**All previously approved volunteers must re-apply at the start of every school year**
Volunteers must be approved each school year, and their approval will be valid from approval until the last day of each school year.
Example: A volunteer who applies and is approved in April needs to re-apply to volunteer the next school year in September.
Volunteers should apply by visiting https://securevolunteer.com/Graham-Local-School-District/home
The fee collected is paid directly to Secure Volunteer and is not refundable.
Volunteers are able to come into Graham Local Schools with approval once the background check is complete, approved, and recommended to the Board of Education/on the Approved Volunteer List.
Volunteers should not be in schools until they are recommended to the Board of Education or are on the Approved Volunteer List.
Volunteer applicants cover the cost of the Secure Volunteer Background Check.
Please email Mrs. Shreve (shrevee@grahamlocalschools.org) with any questions.
Thank you for your partnership in your child's education!
Want to help your school??
Before you head out to the grocery store, please consider linking your Kroger card to Graham Local Schools. When you spend, we earn!
Graham Local Schools has been accepted into the Kroger Community Rewards program. Funding earned through this program will be used to directly support student needs. If you and your family and friends shop at Kroger in Ohio, please take 2 minutes to link your Kroger Plus Card to Graham Local Schools. Linked accounts earn our school money from your shopping trips.
Thank you for supporting our students!
Graham Local Schools can now receive funding from Kroger Community Rewards. Funding is generated when our staff and friends and family link their KROGER PLUS CARD to Graham Local Schools. Grocery shopping at Kroger with a linked card will help us earn money to support students in the district directly.
