Families and staff,
Due to the impending snowstorm which will significantly impact our ability to bring students safely to school, GDRSD will be closed on Tuesday, February 28th.
Best regards,
Laura Chesson, Superintendent
In order to ensure that all of our elementary students arrive home prior to the onset of significant snowfall, Groton Dunstable Regional School District will be dismissing 1 hour early today. ALL schools will be dismissing one hour early. Afternoon preschool will be held be dismiss at 2:00 pm. All after school activities, including after school care at the Twomey Center are cancelled.
Final Exam Makeups: due to the snow day, we will move our exam makeups to tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/24). Students who have makeups to complete are expected in school. Students who do not have makeups to complete will have their absence excused if they do not attend school. Semester 2 will begin on Wednesday. Thank you for your patience and support.
Out of an abundance of caution Groton-Dunstable will be closed today, Monday, January 23rd. We have just received word that power lines are down due to weather conditions near the high school, with the need to re-route some motorists. The conditions on the roads are variable. However the temperature is forecasted to continue to drop and the snow is forecasted to return, heavy at times. Things during dismissal are expected to be the worst and may result in unsafe conditions.
Finals Makeup: Due to the snow day on Friday, finals makeup will be held on Monday. This will be a full day and will remain Semester 1. Students who have a makeup exam are expected to attend. Students who do not have a makeup exam will have their absence excused if they do not attend. Buses will run per usual. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
