The Student Council is kicking the year off by sharing a positive word with the Willett Community.  Students chose a word and why it is important to embody this word in 2025.  These will be hanging up around the school for other students to read and be inspired by.

2025 ELC Community Peer Screenings

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

As the weather gets colder, children are now wearing jackets and coats to school. We kindly ask that you practice with them at home to help them learn how to put on their coats independently. Below is a short video demonstrating a simple trick that can help even the youngest students manage on their own. This will help ensure we can get outside for recess on time. It’s also a great opportunity to practice putting on mittens and hats. Thank you for your support!

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.

Student Handbook Sign Off

Please review the student handbook and complete the sign off process in ASPEN. It is expected that all students have a parent/guardian complete this.
