Dear Hill-Roberts Families,

Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. A link to our school’s report card is available at https://reportcards.doe.mass.edu/2023/00160045. This link will take you to copies of a letter in English, Arabic, Chinese, Hatian Creole, and Spanish explaining the School's report card. 

If you have questions about our school’s report card please feel free to contact me, Dr. Paul Madden.

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.

Please double check that all snacks that are eaten in the classroom are peanut & tree nut free, this includes Nutella and other granola bars that may contain nuts for the protein/ low carb.  Many manufacturers are moving toward more natural/ whole foods in nutrition bars and are using nuts as a way to do this.  If you do include a product for lunch that may contain nuts/ tree nuts, please review it with your student that is to be eaten in the cafeteria only. Sometimes kids see a choice in their lunch and may choose the nut based snack to eat in the classroom.

A huge THANK YOU for the clothing donations I received. 

I could still use some more  boys sizes 6, 7, & 8 pants.  If you have any pants or pajama bottoms that your student no longer wears, I would gladly accept any donations.   It is very helpful if each student had a change of clothes to keep in their cubby or backpack in case it might be needed.  Students may need a change of clothes for numerous reasons including milk/ food spills on their clothes, or they fall onto wet/ snowy ground and get soaked as well as bathroom accidents.

I am mostly done with the state mandated Vision, Hearing, Height and Weight screenings for grades 1-4.  I will start working on Kindergarten when we return from Feb vacation.  Kindergarten will include Near (reading) vision and Hearing screens. Distance vision was done in October by the Lion’s club.  As always, if you do not want your student to participate in these screenings, please send a note to the school nurse.

Please avoid dismissing your students after 3pm. While sometimes this is unavoidable, we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring our attention is focused on safely and efficiently dismissing our 425 plus students. Thank you!

Please keep the area below (note: yellow tape and signage) clear for our busses. This is critical for allowing safe passage of busses. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Attleboro Families,

Attleboro High School greatly appreciates the support of families at all AHS sporting events.   While most 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 and game management staff. 

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 and thank you for supporting AHS!

Thank you.

Kate Campbell- AHS Principal

Mark Houle - AHS Athletic Director
