In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, there is no school on Monday, January 20th.

It’s hard to believe that we are quickly approaching the midpoint of this school year. The time between January 1 and April 1 is one of the most pivotal stretches of the year. This is the period where the majority of focused learning can take place without the interruptions that come later in the spring. It is vital for students to be present and engaged, as this is when their progress will be most significant. The winter months are filled with days in which we do not always feel 100%, however, we have to try to push through and be present in school.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Mr. Jeffrey Cateon, Principal

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

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.
