I loved the 8th grade. It’s really fun and relaxed, sports are chill and school is interesting.

If I were more familiar with the school’s traditions and even daily routines my transition would be much smoother.

I fly home every break, but some of my friends stay on campus or leave with friends. It’s really up to the parents to decide if they want to see their child or leave him/her at school.

List of Essentials for Groton School:

Wall Decor - Mirrors, white boards, flags, pictures, and posters.

Desk Lamp - The room’s light can be dim at times.

Clothes - Of course.

Bins - To store under beds.

Cell Phones - The school’s phones are local-calling only.

Athletic Equipment - Sports are required, so I’d bring trainers, athletic socks, Under Armour, mouth guards, cleats/skates, and equipment for your particular sport.

Hangers - You will NEED these.

School Supplies - Notebooks, paper, binders, backpacks, pens/pencils, rulers, and a calculator.

Lock Box - Just to store large amounts of cash and credit cards.

Pictures - I wish I had something to remind me of home.

Books - Pleasure reads for your free time.

Games - Board games, card games, video games, or something that you can enjoy with your dorm-mates.

Snow Clothes - It snows A LOT there! Bring boots, jackets, gloves, scarves, long johns, goggles, and coats. You don’t wanna be freezin’ while you’re out in the snow.

Bed Linen - Comforter, sheets, cover, extra pillow, and pillow cases.

Formal Clothes - You will need to dress formally often.

Casual clothes - Jeans, khakis, shirts, tennis shoes.

Snacks - Sometimes you’ll just get hungry.

Flashlight - The power has went out once this school year.

Toiletries - Towels, flippers, soap, body wash, shampoo, toothbrush, and toothpaste.

Hair Care - Hair spray, combs, and brushes.

Movies - A fun dorm activity.

Swimwear - We have open-swims at the pool.

Glasses- Contacts, Rx glasses, sunglasses.

Attitude - No one likes a Debbie Downer, be prepared to be positive, fun, snd ready to work!

-I may add some things as they come to me.
