Enjoying the Sun...
...With friends and family...
...For Ed
Race for Ed reminded all of us how important it is for students to get time outside being active with their peers! There are so many benefits: sunshine/vitamin D, exercise, executive functioning, building confidence, socialization, and an appreciation of nature. Want to read more?

The deadline for Fee for Service Transportation payment is November 15, 2024. Invoices were mailed to families the first week of October.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your invoice, please contact the APS Transportation Department: transportation@attleboroschools.com
Attleboro High School greatly appreciates the support of families at all AHS sporting events. Recently, a large number of middle school and some elementary students have attended AHS athletic events (football/volleyball) games without parental supervision. While the majority of students are there to watch the games and enjoy the event, a number of students have been left/dropped off unsupervised. This has created safety concerns and disruptions for other fans in attendance.
Moving forward, ALL middle school aged students and younger MUST be accompanied by an adult at all high school events. We appreciate your support keeping all in attendance supervised while allowing an enjoyable environment for all.
Please know this expectation is currently in place for AHS events moving forward.
We look forward to seeing you all soon.
On Friday, MCAS students results were sent home in 3rd and 4th grade student's bags. If yours goes missing and you want to know their scores, please reach out to our main office this week.

Note: If your student wishes to not participate in the CREST Costume Parade, they can participate in Fall Fest in the gym with Ms. Larkin, Ms. Jennewein, Mrs. Cusack, and Mr. Sabatino. For those participating in costume wearing on 10/31/2023, your students are invited to celebrate by wearing any of the following:
Husky Gear
Fall-themed colors
Dress up as their favorite book
Wear a costume, but your student:
must put it on at home, not at school
must be able to walk in it
must be able to go to the bathroom in it
must wear a costume with no gore, no weapons, no masks, and no make-up.
For families who drop off/pick up, starting in November, there will be an update to our parking policy on Roy Ave. In anticipation of winter weather, bus safety, and emerging safety concerns for walkers crossing the street, families will not be allowed to park beyond the entrance of the drop off/pick up (side) parking lot starting November 1. This will mean that families will either need to park further down Roy Ave. This will also be announced to families next week during walker pick up in the afternoon. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in advance.
