| Husky Families,
What a wonderful first FULL week for all of our K–4 students! It has been especially exciting to see our kindergarteners successfully acclimating to their new school routines, while our students in Grades 1–4 continue settling into strong academic routines across the school.
We are also continuing to improve the efficiency of our car-line drop-off and pick-up procedures. Thank you for your flexibility, cooperation, and willingness to learn alongside us as we make this safer process increasingly smooth and efficient for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic Bingo for Books on Friday night! It was a wonderful way to bring our community together and kick off the Book Fair, which continues next week. A special thank you to our family volunteers and our Book Fair Co-Coordinators, Dr. Beth Dimond and Mrs. Samantha Joyce.
We are also incredibly excited to welcome our Husky Families to Welcome Back Night (also known as Open House) this upcoming Thursday, September 24, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. Please remember the new, earlier time this year! We look forward to welcoming you into the school, connecting with one another, and sharing more about the wonderful year ahead at Hill-Roberts! Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Madden, Principal
Ms. Julie O’Boyle, Assistant Principal |

Pictures from Grade 2 - Ms. Davis' Class' "inDUCKtion" Day |
Fridays are "inDUCKtion" Day in Ms. Davis' classroom. Students have a goal to complete 12 Lexia units per week! What is Lexia? Lexia is an online reading program that gives students extra practice with important reading skills. The activities are personalized to each student, so they can practice skills they are ready to work on and continue building their reading confidence.
When the students get a unit, they move their duck down in the "pond." On Fridays, if a student has 12 Units, they get to adopt a duck to keep at their desk for the day. |

Parental Supervision for All Elementary Students Required
|
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.
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. GO BLUE Mark Houle - AHS Athletic Director Colby Young- AHS Principal |

Absences, Early Dismissal, Change in Transportation |
Communication is key in these areas. Please inform both your teacher and front office of any of these happenings. Absences – please call the front office to report your child not coming to school. Also please note that for our absence to be excused you must provide a doctor’s note. Early Dismissal – please send a note to school with your student and your teacher will send it to the front office.
Change in afternoon transportation – If your student is not going to ride the bus on one given day and is going to be a walker, please send a note so that both the Teacher and Staff know and can mark it accordingly. This also helps on half days if you are normally an ABACUS student and are not going that day. |

Breakfast, Snack, and Lunch |
Similar to last year, breakfast and lunch is free for all students. Menus can be found here. Breakfast:
Breakfast is free and the menu (here) changes daily. To ensure a smooth 8:45am start for your student, any student entering the cafe after 8:40am may get a "grab-and-go" style breakfast. This helps them start the day on time with all their classmates. Snack: Classrooms will remain nut safe during snack time. All snacks that will be eaten in the classroom must be nut free. A snack should be sent with your child every day. Please be mindful of the packaging difficulty of snacks. We encourage healthy eating for snacks. Lunch:
Lunch is free for all students. For younger students, talk to them about which choice they want, so making the choice in the classroom is easier for them. If your child has any food related allergies, please be sure to directly contact our nurse, Mrs. Sherri Knight-Cloud, at sknightcloud@attleboroschools.com or call the school and ask to speak with her.
