GMS Parent Teacher Conferences- October 15th from 3pm-6pm
For our upcoming conferences we are encouraging remote conferencing opportunities for our families to receive updates and ask questions about their student's progress this fall.
There is a possibility that you will not be able to meet with all teachers at the same time, which is also typical for in-person conferences due to the amount of conferences happening within a short time frame.
Picture Day Photos Coming Home
FFA Membership Dues Being Accepted Currently
All 7th and 8th graders received a handout about joining the A.B. Graham Ohio Hi-Point Middle School FFA Chapter! FFA is a great way to learn leadership skills, explore your interests in Agriculture, build friendships, explore career opportunities, show at the county fair and participate in fun activities planned by your chapter officers! Cost is $5 to join for the 2020-2021 school year. Dues will only be collected each Monday, Wednesday and Friday during your lunch. The last day dues will be collected is Friday, October 9th. If you have any questions please stop and talk to Mrs. Peterson or email her PetersonA@grahamlocalschools.org
Online Academy Student Picture Day 11/19
There will be a camera set up for each building (Elementary, Middle, High) in the Middle School gym so we have a centralized location for all who are in the online academy.
You are not required to order photos, but we would like everyone participating in the online academy, at all three buildings, to attend so we can include your photo in the yearbook.
After School FLIGHT Program
Let your mind take FLIGHT!
GMS FLIGHT is a place to think critically and creatively; to learn to problem-solve; to try your hand at new skills with fun tools and devices; and to work cooperatively with others while staying true to yourself. Join us Monday-Thursday after school in the MS Hub. (All registration forms must be filled out and approved before students can attend FLIGHT). Questions? Contact Dawn Rankin at 937-663-3317 or at rankind.flight@grahamlocalschools.org.)
