Groton-Dunstable in conjunction with the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority will be hosting a how to pay for college night. A representative from MEFA will be present to answer questions related to the college financing process.
Lola, the community rescue and narcotics dog, will visit the high school throughout the course of the school year. She was introduced to students and staff during the first few days of school. Officer Breault is also a frequent visitor at the high school.
We recognize the importance of a close working relationship with local law enforcement officials, as we do with other local organizations and community members. Officer Breault and Lola’s frequent visits are meant to be non-threatening, and mainly serve to keep students safe and strengthen the relationship between law enforcement officials, school personnel, and students. It is important that our school is safe and drug free. With that objective in mind, we plan to practice lock down procedures in the not-so-distant future. Their visits are precautionary and preventative in nature and not due to any significant information.
