Kindergarten Information Night is Next Thursday 3/6/25 at 6pm!

Kindergarten Information Night: 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 6, 2025, at 6PM. Learn more here: https://www.attleboroschools.com/o/apswc/article/2030011  

K information Night

ELC parents of students going to Kindergarten next year need to attend the home school that was listed on the flier that was sent home this week. Miss Janice put labels and sent emails to parents explaining where their home school is. If you did not receive an email please check your SPAM folder. Any questions, please contact the office.

On Thursday night, each home school will have a separate packet with the students name, as the registration process is a little different for ELC to K. It should be the color green. Since some schools fill up quickly, it is important that you complete the K registration instructions by May 1, 2025 to secure a spot at your home school.

If your child is going to attend a private or charter school for Kindergarten, please let the ELC office know.

Used Book Drive for the Family Fun Fair!

Do you have any books lying around the house collecting dust? The ELC is holding a used book drive to help support families receive used books during the Family Fun Fair in April! This event was well attended last year and everyone was able to go home with a book. We are collecting books of all ages in decent used condition. Please bring donations to the ELC office.

School Nurse Notes

It is that time of year where we typically see an increase in illness, and we would like to take an opportunity to remind parent/guardians of the importance of having up-to-date contact information at the school for us to reach you in a time of need.  In addition, we are asking that you have additional emergency contacts that are available to pick up the child if needed. 

If the nurse calls for the student's dismissal, it is standard practice for the dismissal to occur within the hour.  Thank you in advance for your support so we can continue to provide the best care for all students.

The Council on Aging Tax Abatement volunteer process has been finalized for this year. As in the past, we’ve allocated volunteers across the district based on “student support” or “non-student support”. Volunteers will contact each building directly and you can schedule them from there.
