How to pay the annual School Fee

We are asking our families to help with expenses by paying the annual school fee of $35.00. Did you know you may also pay with a credit card online via the TGS School Store? You can also pay with cash, check or money order in person or by mail.

The Graham Family of Schools participates in the National School Lunch Program that allows for all families to apply for free or reduced meals. Lunch is available to all students. Should they choose not to participate in the school meal program, students may bring their lunch from home. NO OUTSIDE FOOD MAY BE ORDERED OR DELIVERED AS THIS DIRECTLY VIOLATES THE NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM POLICY.

We would like to take this opportunity to spread the word about The Ohio Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) Educational Savings Account Program. This initiative offers qualifying families a $1,000 credit per child, which can be used to cover various educational activities. These activities are specifically designed to help accelerate learning for children affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For more information, please visit https://education.ohio.gov/ohioace. We kindly ask that you share this information with other families who may benefit from this program. Thank you for your support in ensuring that our students receive the best possible education.
