As a reminder, we have three distinct drop off and pick up points in our school.

They are as follows:

• Car drop off and pickup is the line located on Mechanic Street and Riverbank Road

• Walkers are to enter/exit the school through door 9 located near the blacktop area

• Buses are in the circle located in the front of the school.

For the safety of everyone, please use these locations.

Reminder - Coming Soon - Grade 3 and 4 Student Survey

Each year, students in grades 3-12 participate in a survey as part of Attleboro's involvement in the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA) which aims to help schools and the community measure school quality outside of simply relying on MCAS data. Our third and fourth grade students will be participating in this year's survey between now and February break. The survey takes approximately 15-30 minutes and is done during class. If you would like to see the results of previous surveys/questions, please visit the MCIEA School Quality Measures Dashboard. 

n response to potential changes to federal immigration policies and how they might affect our students, the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office has released guidance that can be found here: https://www.attleboroschools.com/page/guidance

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!

"Hello Families!

Our school partners with the Feinstein Foundation to encourage kids to help others in their community. As a Feinstein Jr. Scholar, your child will receive the two items attached. For more information, please see the Willett Whaler newsletter or scan the code to see the flyers!"

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.
