We are excited to welcome our students and families back to Groton Elementary School!
The first day of school for the 2026–2027 school year is Tuesday, September 8.
As we get closer to the start of school, now is a great time to begin easing back into school-year routines. A few simple things can help make the transition a little smoother:
Begin moving
bedtimes and wake-up times
closer to the school-year schedule.
Encourage your child to
read for just 15 minutes each day
—independently or together as a family.
Gradually
reduce recreational screen and device time
, especially in the evenings and before bedtime.
Start practicing
morning routines
such as getting dressed, eating breakfast, and being ready to leave on time.
Talk with your child about what they are
excited about for the new school year
.
Small adjustments now can make those first few days of school much easier for everyone. We look forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, growth, and great experiences.
We can’t wait to see our students back at GES on September 8!
