Good Morning, Parents/Guardians of Taylor County,
This message is as much an announcement and reminder as it is an appeal for your assistance as we continue to focus attention on safety.
In the past few weeks, it has been noticed that an increasing number of Elementary and Middle School age students are being dropped off to attend activities and events sponsored by the school system without parents or chaperones.
While we encourage any/all individuals to join our sponsored opportunities, it is essential that we ensure that they are as safe as possible. Doing so requires the cooperation of all of us and includes proper chaperone supervision and careful vehicular traffic as well.
In an attempt to prevent any injury to any of our attendees of activities and events, ensure that those younger individuals are supervised. Please see the Parents and Students section of our Taylor County Schools Website if you would like to review TCBOE POLICY 5855 - STUDENT ACCESS AT SCHOOL EVENTS.
In addition, beginning with this evening's GHS Homecoming event, you will also note a return to parking restrictions near/along certain areas of the more frequented foot traffic locations.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this very important need.
With Sincerest Best Regards,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr.,
Superintendent
🐾💙💛 THE PAWS BEHIND THE PRIDE! 💛💙🐾 Mr. Zack, Ms. Cindy, Mr. Rich, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Dennis
Today, we’re celebrating our amazing Grafton High School custodians and the countless ways they help make GHS a better place every single day!
From keeping our hallways clean and our classrooms shining to taking care of the countless things that happen behind the scenes, our custodians play an important role in making GHS a welcoming, safe, and positive place for our students and staff.
Their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but their impact is seen everywhere. They are always willing to lend a hand, solve a problem, go the extra mile, and make sure our school is ready for another day of learning.
We are incredibly thankful for the dedication, hard work, and care they show our Bearcat family each and every day.
💙 Thank you for helping our school shine! 💛
Please join us in showing some love to our GHS custodians on Custodian Appreciation Day!
