Dear Thacher Families:


We have a few big things coming up next week. To begin with, we're excited about our Read Across Thacher/ELC Week with a book-based spirit day each week. Also, on Thursday, each elementary school is hosting Kindergarten Information Night. If you know anyone with a child who will be 5 years old by September 1st, please let them know about this.


Sincerely,


Frank W. Rich

Principal

Do you know anyone with school age children ready for Kindergarten for next year? The Attleboro Public Schools is pleased to host Kindergarten Information Night on March 7, 2024. This evening provides families with information on how to enroll a student in Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year. Early Learning Center parents should also plan to attend this evening to receive information for the next steps in the ELC to Kindergarten process.

🎨ART NEWS: Celebrating Our Students' Creativity!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,


I am thrilled to be working with the PTO on our annual SQUARE1 ART Fundraiser, and am excited to share that our pictures are complete and are being processed. Over the past month or so, our talented students have been hard at work, channeling their creativity and passion into creating magnificent artworks for the fundraiser.


Each student has poured their heart and soul into producing their best picture, while learning how to draw and create a unique one-of-a-kind colorful work of art that will become a treasured keepsake for years to come!


We invite you to join us in celebrating their efforts and supporting their artistic endeavors by participating in the fundraiser. Not only will you have the opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind artwork for your home (or as gifts), but you'll also be contributing to the school, and to the enrichment of our school's art program as well. The PTO will be sending home the order forms, where you'll have the chance to purchase the quality products offered from SQUARE1 ART.


Thank you for your continued support in nurturing the artistic aspirations of our students. Together, we can empower them to shine bright and reach new heights of creativity!


Warm Regards,

Ms. Dickson

Thacher School Art Specialist

When?

Any resident of Attleboro or student attending the Attleboro Public Schools (through a guardian) can access the William James College INTERFACE Referral Service. The INTERFACE Helpline helps individuals in subscribing communities become connected with outpatient mental health and wellness resources.

Through the Helpline that operates from 9 AM- 5 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 8 AM- 6 PM on Tuesday and Thursday, callers will complete an intake which takes about 15-20 minutes and then within a day or so of their call will be assigned to work with a Resource and Referral Counselor who will help them navigate the challenges of finding mental health services, including obtaining a referral match to an outpatient provider, as well as information and resources related to mental health and wellness. Please see What to Expect When You Call the Helpline or visit interface.williamjames.edu for more information.

The INTERFACE Helpline is not an emergency service. If you or the person you are seeking to assist requires a crisis response to meet immediate safety needs, please call 988, 911, go to your local emergency room, or find your local crisis services by calling 833-773-2445 and asking for crisis support.
