8th Grade
WELCOME GMS 8th GRADE STUDENTS!
Dear Groton Middle School Community:
I am extremely excited for this school year and am thankful to have the opportunity to serve as the 8th Grade Assistant Principal here at Groton Middle School. After two years working with this group and seeing their growth, I am looking forward to continuing to foster strong relationships between students, families and the school. I believe that when all three of these stakeholders are working together towards the same goal we can experience extraordinary success. I will work tirelessly to continue to support a learning environment that is respectful, supportive and welcoming to all.
8th grade is a very formative year for our students as they prepare for high school. Be assured that our teachers, counselors and support staff are always working incredibly hard to find new ways to connect with students, maintain levels of support and provide a meaningful and interactive educational experience. Our courses and programs are designed to focus on the social, emotional and educational development of all our Groton Middle School students. The overall goal is to help all students here at GMS reach their potential and become informed, reflective and well rounded global citizens.
I encourage you to communicate with me if you have any questions, concerns or would like to share some ideas. I am always willing to listen and to work together to provide the best possible support for all our students. .
Respectfully,
Keith Danieluk Assistant Principal kdanieluk@groton.k12.ct.us Office- 860-446-4213 Text- 860-235-1256
