From the Principal
Hello Graham Family,
I hope everyone had a relaxing week off and enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.
The weather is getting much colder so please make sure your children are coming to school with coats, hats, gloves, snow pants and boots. The children go outside at least once a day.
We have our holiday shop coming up next week beginning on Tuesday, December 6th! The shop is open each day during school hours. The shop will also be open during the Holiday Breakfast on December 10th from 9:00 - 11:30 am. I hope everyone is able to particpate in these fun events at Graham!
I appreciate your positive attitude and commitment to the success of our students. Have a fantastic weekend!
Jamie Brooks

Medication/Illness
Medication must be kept in the office. Students must have documentation signed by a doctor on file in order for medication to be administered at school. Over the counter medication cannot be administered to students without a note from a doctor as well.
If your child is sick (fever, vomiting, covid-symptoms), please do not send them to school. We diligently try to prevent the spread of illness. If your child goes home from school sick with a fever (100+), they must be fever-free without fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours before returning to school. This standard is set by the Oakland County Health department.
If your student tests positive for Covid, please contact our Health Department Nurse Lourdes Lopez at 947-235-1067 for further guidance.
