Upcoming Digital Days Information
Monday, 11/23 & Tuesday, 11/24 are Digital Days for GMS & GHS
Due to very large (and increasing) numbers of staff and student absences, Graham Middle and Graham High School will be utilizing Digital Days on Monday 11/23 and Tuesday 11/24.
We have articulated the learning expectations with all GMS Students and Staff. Teachers will be reporting to the buildings in order to have all needs to support our learners. Teachers will be putting all learning activities into Google Classroom, of which your students have been utilizing all year. If a student does not have access to technology or wi-fi, we will have paper copies ready Tuesday at 9:00am and will be communicating the process for picking those up soon. We need to give teachers a little time to prepare those as they found out just minutes before our families. We are not, at this time, able to provide devices for students. We will be sharing a ZOOM/Google Meet schedule with families on Saturday, 11/21 at noon. We will also send those schedules to student emails.
Students will be expected to complete this work and all work is due no later than two days upon our return to school, which in this case would be December 3rd as we plan to return from Thanksgiving Break on December 1st.
Congratulations to Quarter 1 Honor Roll Students !!!
Student Organizations Off and Running!
First Lego League has a team focus on collaboration, innovation, and robotics. They will meet for the first time this year on Monday, November 23rd after school from 2:30-3:30. This is open to students in grades 6-8.
Power of the Pen is a Creative Writing team that will work on creative writing and writing stories. Those interested have an essay prompt that can be found on the information sheet in the office.
