Hello Middle School families. I hope you had a great break with your families.
We are doing Square1 Art again this year. Be on the lookout for your student to be bringing information home.
Reminders:
Attendance, please see the Middle School Handbook page 11 for our middle school attendance policy. This is a friendly reminder that students are responsible for missed work when they are absent. If your student has multiple absences you will be getting a call from your student’s advisory teacher or administrator to follow up.

A reminder about the bus…. The school can not give permission/or ok students riding another bus. If you would like your child to ride another bus you must either call or email the bus company to see if that is ok. Please know if you do not do this and your child gets on a different bus your child will be brought back to school and you will need to pick them up. Thank you for your cooperation.

A note from GDEF, "Are you looking for a unique way to recognize a Teacher, Administrator, or Other Staff/Community Member for their hard work and impact they’ve had on your child? GDEF Teaching Stars are the perfect gift! They are a great way to say "Thank You" while helping to enrich the schools in the form of a donation to the Groton-Dunstable Education Foundation (GDEF). Certificates are great for showing your gratitude in November or as a holiday gift in December! Learn more here about how to show an educator how much they are appreciated with a Teaching Star: https://www.gdefinc.org/teaching-star."
