Willett Families,

On Tuesday, we reached the 100th day mark in our school year. We now have less than 80 days left. Winter Break (February 17 - 21) is here. Enjoy time with your families.

Thank you to the Willett Community for all the donations in our Coins for Compassion campaign. We will update everyone as to how much was collected after the break. Student Council students (Pictured below) also made cards for firefighters in California.

Grade 4 Families, please respond to a survey that was sent last Friday and today by Middle School Principals about Band/Chorus for next year.

 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.

Mr. Jeffrey Cateon, Principal

Spirit Days 2025

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.

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.
