Our April Budget Forum at the High School is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER...

Information on FY26 Budget and an upcoming forum scheduled for April 16:

Please stay informed and I encourage you to access the GDRSD home page, where there are links to 2026 documents, the Business and Finance page, and our DESE district profile. The most recent documents include the FY26 Budget Book and recent slide presentations summarizing the Superintendent's proposed budget (no reductions to personnel), as well as two other FY26 scenarios, both of which require significant budget reductions including additional cuts to staff: administrators, teachers, and student support personnel. Please email questions you may have to budgetquestions@gdrsd.org. We will be compiling these and answering them as part of a shared Frequently Asked Questions document.

GDRHS Art Club and National Art Honor Society members exchanged drawing wishes/requests with one of Jodi Stoddard's 1st grade art classes at Florence Roche this week in the first ever GD Art Wish Exchange. After students drew each other's requests, they had an in-person visit where all of the students exchanged their drawings with their buddies. It was such a big success, and all of our high school students are still talking about it! We are hoping to make this an annual event.

The cast of the Drama Guild’s Spring Play, Radium Girls, by DW Gregory, is preparing for next week’s shows. Performances are Friday & Saturday, 4/11 & 4/12 at 7pm with a 2:00 matinee on Saturday 4/12.  Groton Resident Kathleen McKenzie directs this production with our Technical Director, Jon Swift. Radium Girls presents the stories of women in American factories using and suffering from the effects of an unusual new technology. All performances are in the Black Box Theater at GDRHS, 703 Chicopee Row, in Groton.

Last week the Breakfast Club hosted the 3rd Annual Tour of the World event at the High School. Tour of the World is a three day event that celebrates all the different cultures that are in our school. The last day was dedicated to cultural performances, where students could share any type of performance from their culture during our all school assembly. For this year's performances we had the GD Chamber Choir, the GD Korean Dance Club, a solo performance from Yūta Krajewski, and a game led by Keren Noonan. You can find their performances on the Groton Channel. This was made possible, in part, through a grant from the Groton-Dunstable Educational Foundation, which provided funds for decorations and food. Thank you!
