EMERGENCY INFO- All Call Is Back!

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Groton

The Town of Groton Emergency Management System has a system to generate a call when a class is canceled. This is similar to the system that was previously used. The call will come from 860-445-2000 and will say the Town of Groton has an emergency message and it will then say the message. This system will be used to notify everyone of any changes made to their schedule due to cancellation, weather, or other related reasons. Please listen to the whole message.
