This is our LAST chance to reach our goal!

We have just over 700 items. Keep them coming. Mrs. Kleinebreil's third grade class remains in the lead with over 100 items.

Our goal is 1000 items by December 1st. Help us hit our goal.

Attleboro Public Schools is so excited to be partnering with the Attleboro YMCA to be able to offer swim lessons to all grade 2 students in Attleboro. The program will run for 8 weeks and will take place during the school day. Students will be bussed to and from the Y. Studley is scheduled for January - March.

We will be having an informational session on December 14th to share more detailed information with families and answer questions. The session will be virtual in order to reach more families. A link will be sent closer to the night.

Report Cards will be published in ASPEN on Friday, December 9th. Please be sure you know your log in information prior to this date. If you need any assistance, please call the office.

It is really important to make them easily accessible to you, so you can see your child's strengths and areas for improvement. It is our goal to have as many families as possible log in to view their child's report card. If there is something we can do on our end to help with this process, please let me know.

As we close out term 1, we will be looking at our attendance data more closely as it is a goal on our School Improvement Plan. As you know, attendance is an important factor in children's success. Research supports that student attendance has a direct correlation to student achievement and graduation rates.

Many of you are excellent at communicating the reasons why your children are absent, and we are very appreciative of that. THANK YOU! It is extremely helpful to keep everyone on the same page. We recognize and acknowledge that there are REAL reasons why students are absent, and we appreciate you for keeping them home when they are ill. However, these are still days out of school and days accumulate over time. Part of our responsibility, at the school level, is to inform families when students reach a certain number of days out of school - regardless of reasons. We are in the process of preparing this data for you. Our first step is to inform families and support in any way that is needed.

It's that time of year - when we stop and take a moment to thank someone for their kindness.

November is Kindness Month. We are building a kindness tree filled with leaves of kindness! We will be collecting here at school but wanted to expand this to home. If your child shows an act of kindness to another - fill out this quick form, and we will add a leaf with your child's name. You never know when a small act of kindness can change someone's day.

We all like a little spotlight once in a while.... If you or your child would like to spotlight a staff member, please fill out this form. Your comments will be shared with the staff to brighten their spirits by showing them just how much they mean to you.
