Graham Latest News
We had a great first week back from break! It's always a little tough getting back into the routine but we all made it!
Please remember that we do NOT dismiss students between 3:40-4:00 pm due to the office being extremely busy at the end of the day. If you need to pick up your child early from school, please do so BEFORE 3:40 pm. We appreciate your help with this!!!
Happy New Year!!! Welcome back to school. We hope you had a wonderful winter break filled with joy, relaxation and time spent with loved ones. As we step into this New Year, we are excited to embark on more learning, growth and fun at Graham!!
Happy Friday everyone!
The district is still working on getting our phones back up and running. I am hoping that over the weekend, we get them all back online. We will continue to communicate with you via DOJO and email. If you still have not joined Class DOJO, I would highly recommend it, especially after the last week that we were down with internet and phone lines. We post a lot of reminders and information that is important for you to know.
Well, this week has been interesting to say the least! I am very proud of our staff and students as well as all of YOU for being patient and flexible. We have been working hard to come up with alternatives to using the internet and I think the kids really like it! It looks as if phones are still an issue and will hopefully be restored some time next week. Please be sure that you are checking your email for all of the updates from the district. This would also be a good time to make sure that we have your correct email address and your contact information.
I hope everyone had a wonderful break! It was much needed for all of us. I hope everyone was able to see some family and friends over this Thanksgiving holiday too. The holiday season is now officially upon us and these next three weeks are going to go by SUPER fast!
Happy Friday!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the holiday season is in full effect! I am so thankful to work in this building and with all of our families. The students here at Graham are truly wonderful children and I feel very fortunate to work with them every day.
With the school year in full swing, I wanted to take a moment to address an important matter concerning our front entryway procedures. Ensuring the safety of our students is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines.
What an awesome Halloween we had this year! The weather was AMAZING and so was our parade!! We hope we can do that EVERY year because it was so nice to be outside and also nice for the families and friends to be able to spread out and not be so crowded inside the building. I guess we will just have to hope for great weather every year so we can continue this method of showing off our costumes. We really had so much fun this year. I love this school community and how everyone came out to see our staff and students! We always have so much fun here at Graham!!!
Happy Friday!
We had an AMAZING turn out for our Monster Mayhem last night! So many students and families were able to join us for a night of fun. We appreciate and are thankful to all of the volunteers that were able to help make this happen! Thank you to the PTA for a great night and organizing the entire event. If you were not able to volunteer last night, there will be many more events coming up this school year where we can always use your help!!
We have been really working hard on our PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) every day at Graham. We have four rules that we follow every single day at Graham. They are:
- Be Responsible
- Be Respectful
- Be Safe
- Be Kind
See if your child can tell you those rules. We have been reviewing EVERY day on announcements how we follow these rules in different areas of the building. It is very important that we teach our students the proper way to behave at school. We focus on the right way of doing things and giving them DOJO points for following the expectations. Students are then able to use their DOJO points in our school store at the end of the month. Hopefully you have seen them getting points while they are here at school on your DOJO. If you are still not connected to your child's class, please let me know so I can help you with that. It is our MAIN form of communication!!!
