I wanted to share that I will be on medical leave starting Friday, November 21, 2025, and plan to return on Monday, January 5, 2026. While I’m away, our amazing staff will continue to care for and support our students every day.

If something urgent comes up, please don’t hesitate to contact Principal Jeffrey Cateon at jcateon@attleboroschools.com or the main office. I’ll miss seeing all of our students and families during this time and look forward to returning in the new year with renewed energy!

Dear Families,

We are pleased to inform you of Attleboro High School’s participation in the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy for the 2025-26 School Year. The Seal of Biliteracy is offered to any student who demonstrates proficiency in English and any other language, whether they speak or sign the language other than English at home or learned it at school or in the community. The State Seal of Biliteracy aims to:

Encourage students to study and master languages;

Certify attainment of biliteracy skills;

Recognize the value of language diversity;

Provide employers with a method of identifying people with language and biliteracy skills;

Provide universities with a method to recognize and give credit to applicants for attainment of high-level skills in languages;

Prepare students with skills that will benefit them in the labor market and the global society; and

Strengthen intergroup communication and honor the multiple cultures and languages in a community. 

In order to earn the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy, students must:

Demonstrate a high level of proficiency in English by earning a minimum qualifying score on the Grade 10 ELA MCAS,

Demonstrate a high level of proficiency in a world language by attaining a minimum score equivalent to Intermediate-High on an assessment approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and

Satisfy all other graduation requirements.

 The Seal of Biliteracy with Distinction is available to students who:

Earn a score of 501 or higher on the Grade 10 ELA MCAS

Demonstrate a proficiency level of Advanced Low or higher on a Department-approved assessment, and

Satisfy all other graduation requirements.

We will be administering the high school ELA MCAS throughout the year including in November and March. We will also administer AAPPL (ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages) Measure at select times during the school year.  

We look forward to honoring the language expertise and diversity in our district through this initiative. If you have any further questions, please contact Robin Frank at rfrank@attleboroschools.com. 

Sincerely,

Robin Frank

Health Services  

We would like to remind you of the policies that have been put in place in ensure the health and safety of children needing medications during the school day. Our school district requires that the following forms must be on file in your child’s health record before we begin to give any medicine at school: 

 1.) Signed consent by the parent or guardian to give the medication and a signed Medication Administration Plan. 

 2.) Signed Medication Order. The written medication order form should be taken to your child’s licensed prescriber (your child’s physician, nurse practitioner, etc.) for completion and returned to the school nurse. This order must be renewed as needed and at the beginning of each academic year. 

Please contact your school nurse for all the required forms. 

Medication should be delivered to the school in a pharmacy or manufacturer-labeled container by you or a responsible adult whom you designate. Please ask your pharmacy to provide a separate container for school and home, as medication cannot be transported back and forth.
