Upcoming events at the middle school.
Reminders:
We are doing Square1 Art again this year. Be on the lookout for your student to be bringing information home in the next few weeks
Middle School Counselor status, Ms. Ascione is out on a leave of absence. At this time if you have concern about your 7th grade student or your 8th grade student alphabet A-F please reach out to myself, wsalvatore@gdrsd.org and Mr. Fleming cfleming@gdrsd.org
We have started the interview process for a long term substitute, stay tuned.
Last week you should have received communication from the Tech Department about Google Workspace for Education. There is a new regulation that directly impacts our students’ access to Additional Google Services, including YouTube, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Translate, and a handful of others. “communication will be sent to all parents and guardians” informing families that Groton-Dunstable Regional School District must obtain parental consent for students under 18 to access these services. This will go into effect on March 31st. Please click on the link and sign the permission form. Thank you.
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.
