Happy to be back for the first day of school from your Groton Elementary Staff 2026-2027!
Attention Elementary Parents,
As the first day of school approaches I wanted to give you all a heads up if your child attends our OST program there are two letters coming home either the first day or school or first week of school to you. These letters will be sent home to all students so if you don't attend OST or plan on utilizing OST then disregard the forms. The first one is a yellow form that has listed all of our days we have OST open on the days school is closed. The second form is a white form stating our new tuition policy for the school year and summer program. Please fill out the tuition policy and return right away. As soon as you know what days your child will be attending on the non school days, get those filled out to ensure they have a spot and so we have staff scheduled for them to be here. If you have any questions at all regarding these two forms coming your way don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions and we will help you out the best way we can. These forms can be turned in to either their teachers or the front office. Have a great last few days of Summer and can't wait to see all the kiddos again on Wednesday morning.
OST Staff
