Willett Families,

Thank you to all that attended our annual Kindergarten Information Night. We always enjoy the excitement that comes with families joining us in their educational journey.

We appreciate students and staff participating in Read Across America this week.

As a reminder, it is that time of year in which we "Spring Ahead" with clocks being moved ahead 1 hour this weekend (Sunday, March 9th at midnight).

Please join us in the Willett Library on Thursday, March 13th at 6:00 PM for the PTO Willett Community Meeting.

Next Friday, March 14th is an early release day for students. We will dismiss at 12:25 PM that day.

We are respectfully requesting again that changes in dismissal be done early in the day. Our preferred method is a note sent in with your child. If an email needs to be sent, please do so prior to 11:30 AM and include Mrs. Rebelo or Ms. Van Den Berghe.

Grades 3 and 4 will be participating in MCAS in April and May (see below). Please do everything you can to ensure the students are present on those days.

Enjoy the weekend,

Mr. Jeffrey Cateon, Principal

A Night To Discover

Willett Elementary Supply Drive Extended – Let’s Clear the List!

 Dear Willett Elementary Community,

 First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has already contributed to our Annual Supply Drive! Your generosity is truly appreciated. However, we still have a long way to go to fully support our amazing teachers and staff. So far, we have only been able to fulfill about 20% of their wishlist, and we’re determined to clear the list!

 To ensure that our teachers and staff have all the supplies they need to create the best learning environment for our students, we’re extending the Supply Drive beyond our original deadline. If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, there’s still time to make a difference!

 Ways to Help:

📌 Purchase directly from our Amazon Wishlist (Scan the QR code on the flyer or visit the link: https://a.co/eFNtTKx)

  Check out my list on Amazon

 📌 Send an Amazon gift card to willettptopres@gmail.com

📌 Have your child bring in supply donations labeled “PTO”

📌 Make a small monetary donation ($1-$5 goes a long way!) to the PTO, and we’ll purchase items from the list

 

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us closer to fully stocking our classrooms. Let’s rally together and show our teachers how much we appreciate them!

 

Thank you for your continued 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.
