GMS Falcon Update
8/8/23
Please be sure to complete/update Online Forms
** Consider Final Forms updates like a "re-enrollment" that needs updated every year and throughout the year if there are changes to address or contact information. This is required for everyone **
Prior to the school year, you will need to make updates to your child's Emergency Medical and Transportation forms! This needs completed every year. If nothing has changed, you should only need to verify information.
Students will not be able to pick up their schedules if forms are not completed on the parent side. We will have computers available in the office.
Meal Account Information
Teachers are not able to accept money for student accounts. Cafeteria staff is not able to process cash or checks in the lunch line. Account funds must either be added through the student PaySchools Account, or placed into the marked envelopes and into the secure drop box in the cafeteria.
Immunizations for Grade 7
Ohio Law requires that all seventh graders must have received multiple immunizations. Before starting school, students in the 7th grade must have a Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis) and a Meningococcal vaccine. Written proof of receiving these vaccinations must be on file in the school office. Students who do not have evidence of proper immunizations will be excluded from school after 14 days, per Ohio Revised Code.
If your doctor says immunization might be harmful to your student, a waiver must be on file. If you object to immunization for good cause, for example religious convictions, a waiver must be on file.
If you need them to be faxed, our Fax number at GMS is 937-663-4674
