It is our hope to get the students outside as much as possible for recess. As long as the weather is 25 degrees (including the wind chill) and there is no rain, students will be going outdoors. Please be sure to send your children to school with the clothing they need to be outdoors (coats, hats, mittens).

Grade 2 swim program starts this week! We are excited for this opportunity for our second graders. Please remind your children that, as always, they should demonstrate the qualities of being a Studley Star. Children should be respectful, responsible and safe at all times. We look forward to a positive experience for all!

To all 4th grade families - an email was sent last week about the new music opportunities at the middle school. On Tuesday, January 31st, Studley students in grade 4 will hear about the options available to them next year. Be on the lookout next week for a survey from their middle school principals with more information.

Last week at our PTO meeting, Attleboro's Portrait of a Graduate was shared as an initial conversation. Below is the summary of what was discussed:

It is the goal of Attleboro Public Schools to produce graduates who are lifelong learners who are responsible and involved citizens. In addition to a focus on academics, Attleboro students will demonstrate a variety of skills to be ready for college and career. Below is a description of the four pillars of APS Portrait of a Graduate. They are INNOVATE, COMMUNICATE, COLLABORATE, BALANCE.

Please keep in mind the upcoming MCAS dates for grades 3 and 4. We ask that you make ALL efforts to have your students in school on time on these dates. This means avoiding scheduling appointments, trips, etc. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.

Grade 3 and 4 MCAS Dates:

• April 3rd, 4th - Grade 4 ELA
• April 5th, 6th - Grade 3 ELA

• May 8th, 9th - Grade 4 Math
• May 10th, 11th - Grade 3 Math

We all like a little spotlight once in a while.... If you or your child would like to spotlight a staff member, please fill out this form. Your comments will be shared with the staff to brighten their spirits by showing them just how much they mean to you.
