Message from the Principal

What a busy January already! We had our first Student Spotlights at the PTO meeting last week. It was great to hear some of the amazing things are students are doing to make them Studley Stars. Our students work hard every day trying to navigate all that comes their way. This is one small way to be able to share some positive news from school. I look forward to our next spotlight!

We are wrapping up our winter data and will be meeting with teachers the first week of February to make sure all students' needs are being met. We will look at the data, identify areas of progress, and adjust instruction and interventions as needed. It is a great mid year check point to make sure we are on track.

Our next family event is Family Bingo on March 21st. Stay tuned for more information from the PTO, but it should be a fun event for all!

Grade 4 Music Letter

On Monday, your child will be bringing home a letter from their middle school principal explaining more about the 5th grade music choices. As you know, Mr. Clavette has made a recommendation based on their elementary experience. It is just a recommendation, and you should talk it over with your child to see what the best fit is. Their decision impacts the rest of their schedule, which the letter will explain. More information to follow.

Family Survey - School Improvement Plan

We are wrapping up our 2022-2024 School Improvement Plan and starting to think about our next plan and the goals we want to have.

The three areas of focus for the School Improvement Plan are:

Student Growth and Outcomes
School Environment
Family and Community Engagement: Outreach and Connections

Our school council is currently working on a family survey to be sent out to our Studley community later this month or early February. It is our hope that this survey will be filled out by ALL our families in order to gather the necessary information to help move our school forward in a direction that reflects all of you. It has been a few years since we have done this, and it is important since you should have a voice in our school.

Car Drop Off/Outdoor Play

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.

Grade 2 Swim Program

Our grade 2 swim program continues this week.

Monday - Desvoyaux

Wednesday - Patrone/Fallon and Desvoyaux (make up from the 2 hour delay)

Friday - Burke/Fallon

Please remember to have your child wear their bathing suit and send in a dry pair of underwear. So far, everyone has been doing a great job, and the students are very excited! This is the last week of doubling classes. We will return to our regular schedule next week.

Community Resource and Support Liaison

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.

Winter Weather

As the weather gets colder, we want to remind you that we will be going out to recess as often as we can. We will only be indoors if it is wet from rain/snow or if the "feels like" temperature is less than 25 degrees. Please send your child to school with warm clothing (hats, gloves and coats) to help students stay warm in the brisk cold air!
