You may notice that an additional button, called Rooms, will be visible at the bottom right of our Attleboro Public Schools mobile app. This button is part of our integrated system of communication and will allow for your child’s teachers/coaches/and other staff to share detailed information (assignments, special events, practice schedules, etc.). More information is forthcoming, and we will have a table set up at Welcome Back Night.

Commonwealth Mobile Oral Health Services is a mobile dentist unit that comes to schools and is available to all students. You do not need to have insurance to participate. Parents are not billed for services if their child does not have insurance. If your child has a community dentist, please continue to see that dentist, and do not participate in the program.

All families should have received the Mobile Dentist consent form that was sent home earlier this school year. Please let me know if you did not receive a consent form and would like one. The dentist is scheduled to come to Willett on December 2nd and December 5th. If you have given consent for your child to be seen, please make note of those dates and please make sure your child attends school that date as the dentist will not return until sometime in May.
