Willett Families,
As we head into the Thanksgiving break, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your continued partnership and support. This time of year reminds us how important our community is, and we are truly thankful for the kindness and collaboration you bring each day.
Please note that there will be no school from November 26–28. We hope this break provides your family with time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy the traditions that mean the most to you.
Whether you're traveling or staying close to home, we wish you a safe, peaceful, and joyful holiday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break, refreshed and ready for the weeks ahead.
Warmest wishes for a happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂
Sincerely,
Mr. Jeffrey Cateon, Principal

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!

If you previously opted out and would like to start receiving text alerts again, simply send "Start" to 989-00 to be added back into future SMS communications. |
APS Redistricting is now in Phase 2. During this phase, the Operations & Infrastructure Council continues to review potential boundary change proposals. See the APS Redistricting page for more information and stay tuned for the upcoming Community Presentation.

Hello from the Health Office,
With the cold weather and an increase in illness throughout the community, please see the attached information to assist families in making decisions about when their students should stay home and when they can come to school.
When is sick TOO sick for school?
Reasons to keep me home from school
The first week of December is National Handwashing Awareness Week. According to the CDC, keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.
Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water.
Making a habit of good hand hygiene is an easy, effective way to prevent infections and sicknesses. If you’re someone that chooses to skip the handwashing once in a while, read these mind-blowing statistics and you might think again next time!
– 80% of communicable diseases can be transferred by touch (person-to-person contact).
– Washing your hands a few times a day can reduce diarrhea rates by 40%.
– Touching your face with dirty hands spreads sicknesses pneumonia, a cold, and the flu.
– Pneumonia is the number one cause of childhood death, and is preventable by regular handwashing.
The two most important times to wash your hands are before and after preparing food, and after going to the bathroom.
