Are you interested in the future of our Communities? Join us for the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Forums on Tuesday, February 27th, at 7:00 p.m. at Swallow Union Elementary School, where we will present, review, and answer questions on the proposed budgets for the Town of Groton, the Town of Dunstable, and the Groton Dunstable Regional School District.
As both towns face substantial budget deficits in FY25, we especially need your input. These forums allow residents to voice their opinions, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the budgetary plans for the upcoming fiscal year. Your participation is crucial in shaping the future of our Communities.
Good afternoon,
Due to tomorrow's projected weather, Groton Dunstable Regional will be closed on February 13th. All after-school activities are also canceled.
Best regards,
Laura Chesson

Good evening,
Due to the continued forecast for significant snowfall and deteriorating road conditions, GDRSD will be opening on a two hour delay tomorrow. However, given the lack of clear projections on snow fall and duration of the storm, staff should check for a possible change to cancellation in the morning.
Again, at this time we are going with a two hour delay for Monday, January 30th, however if the snowfall totals, storm timing, and road conditions worsen this may change. Stay safe, Laura

Students in Mrs. Schott’s first grade class had fun learning about light and color during their in-house Discovery Museum field trip.
This week Karen Gartland and Mrs. Rozzi taught a second-grade math lesson on learning to count from $10 to $1,000 using a variety of place-value math tools. They were asked to show how to count from $776 to $900, using place value math tools of their choice. The second graders came up with so many different strategies and were very excited to share their math thinking with a partner and the class!
Bubbles Science Program in Kindergarten
Mrs. O’Hara’s 4th grade class and Mrs. Mulligan’s kindergarten class get together for some game time fun for Math Buddies! Not only are they teaching, learning and reinforcing math skills, but they are having a great time doing it!
Our third graders made their way to Plimoth (annual tradition!) where they had time to take their knowledge of what they had learned about colonial life into action. They visited Plimoth Rock, immersing themselves in indigenous life and what it was like to live in a colonial village.
Swallow Union classes K-4 read and talked about thankfulness and gratitude this week in Library, and then created a Tree of Gratitude and Thanksgiving to represent all they feel lucky to have.
First graders had a chance to explore the properties of sound ~ creating, seeing, hearing, and feeling waves and physical vibrations.
4th graders were engineers this week in Innovation Technology as they built and tested catapults to begin learning about potential and kinetic energy, and how our failures help us learn and problem solve.
2C mastering the art of silent communication in the 'Dots' game. Who knew finding your color-matched teammates could be this exciting and challenging, all without saying a word!
Writers in 2C came together in groups, sharing their stories. Each classmate listened closely, then shared how the story made them feel. We learned that words have power, and every writer has a special voice.
Fourth grade travelled virtually to Ashfall Fossil Beds in Nebraska today to learn more about the fossils found there! Thank you SU PTO!!
