Our K, 1st and 3rd grade family open house was a big hit!










Family Open Houses are this week! Grades K, 1 and 3 are on for tonight from 6:30-7:30. Grades 2 and 4 are scheduled for Thursday evening from 6:30-7:30. We look forward to seeing you!


Learning, building, coding, and smiling! Third graders had a blast in the Florence Roche Innovation Lab with Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Barker, taking on LEGO challenges, Bee Bot coding, and math manipulative puzzles. Hands-on learning at its best! 🙌

Ms. Hart's K students took advantage of the stage to perform their reader's theater performance of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Well done!


4th grade engineers designed and tested their sailboats in the iLab this morning. I believe they all passed the quality control test of not sinking.


Poet Andrew Green returned to support our 4th graders with their original works of poetry. Thank you to the Groton Commissioners of Trust for funding this experience.

Thank you to our PTA for planning and hosting tonight's back to school social! Great to see so many families attending.





Florence Roche successfully completed our first fire drill of the year. We coordinate this with our police and fire departments as part of our yearly safety plan. Everyone did a great job meeting the expectations of exiting the building in a calm, quiet and orderly process. Well done FloRo!


The Florence Roche PTA is hosting the annual Back to School family event this Friday, 9/12 from 5-7pm. We hope to see you there!


We held our 1st All School Meeting this morning. The theme for the year is kindness. GDEF generously funded a grant for us to participate in the Making Caring Common program through Harvard University. Amy Wheeler-Sutton is our parent coordinator for this program. Amy will be with us each month to help facilitate our kindness themed meetings. Looking forward to doing this work together!

Kindergarten students were busy in their classrooms this morning demonstrating some positive school skills like whole body listening, letter writing and direction following.






Welcome back! Nice to see our grades 1-4 students returning to school today.
