Dear Thacher Families:
We're thrilled that the state legislature passed universal free breakfast/lunch. However, please note that even though meals will be free for all students this school year, it remains essential for families who believe they qualify to complete the household Application for Free and Reduced Price Meals for the 2023- 2024 school year. Visit our Food Services page to learn more and Apply Online: https://www.attleboroschools.com/o/aps/page/foodservices2. Qualifying for free/reduced lunch may qualify you to have other fees waived as well (e.g., bus fees, high school athletic fees, etc.).
Also, there was an error on the Picture Day Packet. The date for Thacher's Picture Day is October 3rd. Lifetouch is sending us new packets with the corrected date. We'll send them home as soon as we get them.
Sincerely,
Frank W. Rich
Principal

If your child requires daily medication, as-needed medication, or over-the-counter medication during the school day, a written order from your child’s doctor must be received. All prescription medication needs to have a pharmacy label. All over-the-counter medication must be in the original unopened package. A parent or guardian must sign a parental consent form for each medication.

Information Packets
You may notice a small change to the student information form, specifically the "Do Not Publish" option. Please make sure you read the explanation underneath which clarifies that by checking the Do Not Publish box, you are identifying that you do not wish to have your child's image, name, work, etc. published anywhere, which includes our yearbook.
Make sure to follow their page on Facebook!
We will do most of the meetings virtually but our first will be in-person. Please see the flyer below!
