• Our technology department worked extensively to get basic connectivity back to GHS after the storm. We are continuing to increase our internet capabilities and hope to have students back on their chrome books sometime this week.
• Staff and students were able to adapt to the new challenges the storm created for our school.
• Attendance at the beginning of the week was the best we have seen in a few years at GHS.

This year we plan to hold an assembly to honor our seniors and recognize those that have decided to join the military and/or attend college/trade school, as well as student entering the workforce.

April 28 will be Decision Day at GHS.

National Decision Day is May 1st.

Students are encouraged to wear a shirt that represents their future college or military branch. After the assembly we will have a Gaylord Community Schools backdrop set up in the gym from 2:30-3:30 for any families that would like to take a photo. We know we have a number of our student athletes committing to colleges to extend their playing career and feel this would be a great time to honor that as well.

This can be a baby picture, group picture, or another senior picture. If you have questions email Hannah Romel at the address below.

Safety and Security is top priority for Gaylord Community Schools and we wanted to provide a link for the state wide OK2SAY program. OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
