How to make the most of your child's excitement around the upcoming Book Fair...
We know things get busy :). If you still have a welcome packet to return, please send it in this week. If you lost one or did not receive one from your child's backpack, then please reach out to Mrs. McLaughlin (kmclaughlin@attleboroschools.com). Thank you!
Be on the lookout for the Attleboro Public Library Community Read Passport coming home in your child’s backpack. Students can use these passports to collect stamps at the various community reading events held throughout the school year. Once the passports are filled, they can bring them to school or to the public library to receive special recognition at the summer reading kick-off in June. All events will be listed on the calendar at attleborolibrary.org. The first event is on Monday, Oct 20 @6:30 pm at the Attleboro Public Library.
On 10/31 we will be hosting our annual PTO fundraiser, Race for Ed. Students will be provided with a free t-shirt to wear and they will have the option to wear it to school or put it on at school on Friday, 10/31.
Students will be walking around as part of Race for Ed, but we will not be doing a costume parade. Please keep costumes, costume props, and/or make-up at home. If you have any questions, please feel to reach out to us.
We are still working on the new drop-off and pick up routine. We were asked to consider a few additional items by the city and the bus company. As always, we are committed to doing our due diligence and would rather roll out a new plan later, but more carefully. After all, safety is our main goal :). Thank you for your continued patience.
