A huge thank you to our PTO and all the amazing volunteers who helped make this week possible for our students. You are appreciated more than you know!

Thank you to all who attended this event! It was a great showing of Studley students and families. This event was a great reminder of why we do what we do. The lessons that take place each day prepare our students for something bigger. It was a proud moment for me, for Studley, and for Attleboro Public Schools.

Thank you to all the students who helped their class by completing their home challenge. This week, same rules apply. You will see one of the options is to help name our MASCOT. We need your HELP! With the help of our PTO, we have purchased a new mascot (still a STAR - don't worry), which should be arriving by the end of the year! But the problem is - it doesn't have a name. If your child has a suggestion, they can submit their entry!

They can do this by completing this form https://forms.gle/JvKfb1AskrDHxSgf8 or submitting a written response to their teacher.

Here is the link for the math ideas on the challenge below: Math Game Ideas

On Friday, we met in grade level assemblies to recognize the hard work of our students and staff. At these assemblies we:

• Introduced the students to the GOLDEN SKATEBOARD - the award that represents our hard work and dedication!
• Updated everyone on our new STAR Mascot - arriving in JUNE!
• Recognized students with outstanding attendance.
• We recognized 96 students who had outstanding attendance so far this year (no more than two days absent all year). This is incredible. A huge THANK YOU to all of you who take attendance seriously and bring your children to school on time whenever possible!
• For Term 3, we told the students we are resetting the clock, and students who only miss 1 day (or less) this last term will be recognized!
• Recognized this round of Good Citizens.

We also asked the staff to nominate other staff members who go above and beyond to help our school community be the best it can be. This month's staff recognition went to:

• Mrs. Benedetti (Paraprofessional)
• Ms. Paltsios "Ms. P." (Kindergarten Teacher)
• Ms. Pimental (Paraprofessional)
• Mrs. Crocker (Fourth Grade Teacher)
• Nurse Emily

We could not do what we do without our amazing staff. The kids LOVE celebrating their teachers. It is another good example and lesson that not everyone can be celebrated. It is important to cheer on our friends and celebrate their positive moment!

Come get your GLOW on at Studley's next big dance. Please RSVP by clicking below. It will be here before you know it, so get your tickets now. To allow for more students to be able to attend, the dance will be at BRENNAN MIDDLE SCHOOL. Can't wait to PARTY!

Morning Drop-off:

• Always drive up as far as possible before stopping to let kids out.

• Students should exit their car on the sidewalk side and walk to school as soon as traffic comes to a stop and the school is in sight. This means that they will sometimes be walking on the sidewalk next to the field. (They can do it!)

• Drive with caution. Refrain from u-turns. Follow direction from staff.

• NEVER exit on the driver’s side on Rathbun Willard drive. Students should exit the passenger side whenever possible.

• Adults should remain in the car. Students should exit the car independently.

• When it's raining, students should wait until their car is in the loop to exit.

  
  

Afternoon Pick-up:

• Stay in line unless told to pass by staff.

• Refrain from using cell phones.

• Adults should remain in the car. Students should be able to open and close their door. Staff are available to assist students who are not yet tall or strong enough.

• If extra time for buckling is needed, please use the parking lane in front of the school.

• This allows us to keep the line moving at an efficient pace while providing a safe space for those who need additional time. We have experienced large backups when multiple cards need extra time.
  

• When you use the parking lane, you may take as long as you like and we can continue our dismissal process.

How can you help?

• Encourage students to gather their belongings and be ready to exit BEFORE the cars come to a stop.

• Practice getting in and out of the car, including opening and closing the door.

• Practice putting seatbelts on and taking them off.

• Keep pace with the flow of traffic (just like the drive thru at Dunkies).

We thank you for your continued support with making our drop-off and pick-up procedures run smooth, efficient, and safe.

Please see the flyer below from our student council. They are collecting eye glasses for the Attleboro Lions Club.

The YMCA is participating in the annual Spin-a-thon on April 6th. This year, there is a team called Spinnin' for Swimmin. This team is focused on raising money for our Attleboro second grade students and the swim program. If you would like to see this program continue and are able to donate, they would be incredibly grateful. They Y has been an amazing community partner for our students.

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.

As you know, our school day starts at 8:30AM. This means there are no staff members on duty to supervise students until 8:30AM. Several students are leaving their cars before 8:30AM to play. If you are allowing your child(ren) to leave your car and play before school, they must be supervised. Students cannot leave that area and go to the side or back of the building where they would be unsupervised. Thank you for your attention to this.

Michelle Christopher, a Studley staff member, is also our Community Resource and Support Liaison. If you ever find yourself needing supports but do not know where to turn, she can help. Her role is to connect families with community resources that you may not know are even available. We are here to help each other, so please reach out to me if you would like to connect with Ms. Christopher. You can also reach out to her directly at mailto:mchristopher@attleboroschools.com.
