At GDRSD, educators start their day with a professional learning session focused on MTSS at the Performance Arts Center.
What a productive morning it has been for the Swallow Union staff and the Technology & Digital Learning team! Last night, Ockers successfully delivered and installed (12) new 75" TouchView panels as we made the transition from aging projectors. These new panels come with exciting features that we are eager to explore, such as the S-write whiteboarding software and Eshare wireless screen sharing...among many of the available features!
Our GD Crusaders played their opening game versus Greater Lowell Tech with exhilarating color commentary from Jonah Rodman ('24), play-by-play from parent Linus Brier, and camera/production from The Groton Channel's David Germain. All three will continue to bring their love and knowledge to every football game this season...from every touchdown, tackle, and thrilling moment on behalf of the GDRHS community. Make sure to check out the recording of the game here: https://reflect-thegrotonchannel.cablecast.tv/CablecastPublicSite/show/10486?site=1

During Fifth Grade Innovation Lab class with Mrs. Roy, students are coding their own basketball game using Code.org.
In a display of generosity, the Groton School came together on September 6, 2023, to present a heartwarming gift to the new Florence Roche Elementary School.
The Groton School will gift a brand-new scoreboard for the state-of-the-art gymnasium being constructed by Gilbane Construction. This gift signifies the power of collaboration in creating meaningful connections between schools and communities.
As the bright lights of the new scoreboard illuminate the path ahead, it symbolizes a shared commitment and an enduring bond between these two outstanding institutions.
