The Graham PTA provides financial and volunteer support to Graham’s students and staff. Due to the COVID pandemic we expect teacher and staff needs will be unlike previous years and we will remain diligent in our financial support during these uncertain times. We hope PTA fundraising can address gaps with distance learning tools, student and staff wellness, technology enhancements, in addition to more traditional PTA funding requests, such as the annual $300 per teacher supply stipend. We encourage all Graham community members to join the PTA and participate in an open forum where parent, teacher and administration voices are all heard. The PTA keeps our Graham community strong!

Monitoring Your Student's Screen Time
#MVWSD provides a tool that allows parents to be aware of their students' online activities and to help keep them safe on their school-issued devices. Securly allows you to see what choices your student is making online while at home so that you will be alerted to potential issues and can guide your student. Please note: Securly is for school-issued devices only. Check your email for these weekly reports, and you may also download the Securly app. For more information, please see https://www.mvwsd.org/technology.
