Good Afternoon Groton Dunstable Regional Middle School Families. It’s the final countdown……
Some Reminders:
Mr. Day and Mr. Fleming have completed the schedules. The portal is open. Please understand that we will not be able to take “requests” at this point. Changes may occur based on class size and services.
We will be hosting our Annual 5th grade Ice Cream Social tomorrow, Wednesday August 20th at 2:30 in the Stoddart Cafe. Our incoming 5th grade students and any new students who would like to meet some peers and get a tour are invited to attend.
Start time, The Middle School start time is 8:02 with an end time at 2:32. On a ½ day we will dismiss at 11:30. If you are a drop off family. Students will be permitted to get out of the car at 7:52.
School Supplies, Our SchoolToolBox links are live on our website home page: www.gdmspto.com. Parents looking to secure their child's supplies can order pre-packaged supply boxes to be delivered directly to their doorstep! Ordering will be available throughout the remainder of the summer.
Nursing assignments, We are excited to announce that we will once again have a nurse in each building. Nurse Gray, lgray@gdrsd.org, will remain our nurse in the Stoddart building and Nurse Merrill, smerrill@gdrsd.org, will be our nurse in the North building.
Breakfast, Breakfast is still going to be available in both buildings this fall as a Grab and Go. When students enter the building, in the Stoddart they can get breakfast from the cafe and in the North there will be a kiosk set up in the conference room off the lobby. Students will need to grab breakfast head to their lockers and then to Advisory.
Buses/Transportation: I received a message from Dee Bus that there will be NO BUS SWAPS this year.
