Good Afternoon Groton Dunstable Regional Middle School Families. We hope you and your students had a great week. Here is your weekly family memo.
For your ease I will always have new information at the top and then a section at the bottom with reminders.
Our first month of school is in the books and we are off to a great start. Teachers are getting to know their students, students have learned their new schedules, our sports teams are off and running and we are all very happy with the 26/27 opening.
E-bikes, as a reminder E-bikes are not allowed on school grounds.
