Just a quick reminder that our Veterans Day Program is quickly approaching!
We will be hosting a breakfast for our veterans from 7:30–8:30 AM at the Elementary School. All veterans and their families are welcome to attend.
At 1:00 PM, our Veterans Day Program will take place in the arena at the High School. Letters with dismissal plans from the High School will be sent home with students this week.
OST will also be open following the program.
We look forward to honoring our veterans and celebrating this special day with our school community!
Our Fall Sports Awards Night is on Monday, November 23rd at 7pm. We will recognize and honor 8 team sports: football, football cheerleading, volleyball, boys golf, girls & boys soccer, and girls & boys cross country.
To prepare for winter sports, be sure to get on BOUND and register your student athlete for wrestling, basketball, and cheerleading. A physical needs to be completed every 3 years, but the health history form needs to be uploaded every year. There are 6 agreements that also need to be electronically signed every year. If your son/daughter competed in fall sports, then they are good to go as far as paperwork goes. However, you may need to log in and "register" them for the winter sport if you did not do that all at once in the fall. Thank you for your cooperation and helping make this a smooth transition into the winter sports season!
Important Dates:
🤼Monday, November 16th - Wrestling practice begins (Grades 6-12)!
⛹️♀️Monday, November 23rd - Girls Basketball practice begins (Grades 8-12)!
⛹️♂️Monday, November 30th - Boys Basketball practice begins (Grades 8-12)!
Contact Mrs. Sperry if you have questions. Thank you!

Today, our Groton Area Elementary students showed their support for Red Ribbon Week by wearing RED!
Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign that encourages children and families to live healthy, drug-free lives. It promotes making safe choices, staying drug-free, and building healthy habits that last a lifetime.
We’re proud of our students for joining together to spread awareness and show their commitment to making healthy choices!
