Have a Heart

The Graham Family of Schools, will be celebrating Have a Heart an annual fundraiser and auction on Saturday, March 2, 2019.  This event brings together board members, school families, community partners, friends, and advocates of all three schools -- The Graham School, The Charles School at Ohio Dominican University, and Graham Elementary and Middle School -- to raise important funds for the schools and the students whom we serve. Please plan to attend this special evening!

The proceeds from Have a Heart directly benefit our programs in multiple ways, including critical operating support.  Please consider donating items or services to the silent auction. We are looking for a variety of items; gift cards, spa services, jewelry, clothing, art pieces, household items, etc. 

Please contact Jennifer Waddell at (614) 258-8588 or waddell.1@thecharlesschool.org with any questions.
Thank you for your support!

Bus Routes

Columbus City Schools Transportation routing system has changed drastically this year. If you are relying on the CCS bus to transport your student to The Graham School, it is imperative you complete the online application as soon as possible. Here are important facts to keep in mind with regards to CCS Transportation:

1.     You may be eligible for a bus to The Graham School via CCS Transportation if you reside in the Columbus City School District.

2.     Columbus City Schools Transportation typically routes students to a stop at the nearest CCS building to their home, which may be up to 2 miles away.

3.    All routing is completed by CCS Transportation via an online application system, which can be found by visiting https://www.ccsoh.us/Page/4818 and following the link that says "click here to begin your transportation request."  The application process must be completed on a desktop or laptop computer, as the site is not compatible with mobile devices - smartphones or tablets.

4.    All routing information is shared with families via CCS Transportation. They will no longer be sharing the routes with schools. Additionally, schools are no longer allowed to issue temporary passes. Students will not have a bus until their online application is processed by CCS Transportation, which may still take up to 8 weeks.

5.    If you experience any issues with the online application system or have any doubt that your application was successfully submitted, you must call CCS Transportation at 614-365-5074 for assistance. Parents also have the option to visit the CCS Transportation Office at 1560 Moler Rd Columbus, OH.

Emergency Plan

The Graham School considers the safety of all of its students and staff extremely important and a high priority of our work. In case of emergencies, families will be contacted with multiple methods; letters home, our texting communication service - Remind, mass e-mails, website posts, and/or from an off-campus phone location at GEMS (614) 253-4000.

In the case that the school needs to relocate the staff and students for any reason, we will be relocating to The Whetstone Community Recreation Center (3923 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214). Arrangements for student pick-up will be communicated through the same methods listed above.
