Thank You to Our RAA Readers!!
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Just a friendly reminder that James Street is a one way street once you hit our parking lot. Too many parents are driving down the one way and we have seen too many close calls. Please drive around the parking lot. We are asking this of our staff on both sides of the building as well.
If you are parking on the sides of James St please make sure your children are exiting the side of the car closest to the sidewalks. There have been many complaints about young children being in the middle of James St.
Arrival Times for the morning is 8:45a-8:55a. Dismissal is 11:25a-11:30a. We are asking that you respect the teachers and not let your children play close to the classroom windows after AM dismissal. Often times there is an evaluation or team meeting going on. We recognize that play opportunities are important for young children and we can direct you to the nearest park two blocks away.
Arrival time for the afternoon session is 12:35p-12:45p. Dismissal is at 3:10p-3:15p for Door 1, and 3:15p-3:20p for Doors 3 & 5. If your child normally comes on the bus but you are dropping off or picking up during the times your door is open please bring them to the door the class is at (Door 1, 3 or 5.)
If a student is not able to picked up off the bus or a parent is late picking up at dismissal your child will then go to ABACUS and a fee will be assessed.

Important Information about MassHealth and SNAP Benefits:
In response to the COVID-19, MassHealth put protections in place that prevented members’ MassHealth coverage ending, and qualifying Massachusetts households began to receive extra SNAP at the beginning of each month to buy food. Due to recent action by the federal government, these protections and extra benefits will be ending soon. Please visit the Welcome Center website for more information on what you can do now.
All APS Community Fliers can be found within the Welcome Center website. To view this week’s fliers, including information from throughout Attleboro please visit the Welcome Center webpage or click here for current fliers.
