Student Attendance Protocol Change
Dear Families,
As we all know, student attendance is directly connected to student success. Beginning on January 9th, we are changing our process for automated attendance calls. All families will receive a call from our automated system should your student be absent from school whether or not the school was previously notified. If the school(s) are aware of the absence, you do not need to contact the school. If you have not, please do so as soon as possible. Additional reminders and information will be sent as we get closer to January 9th.
Social Media Safety
In this season of gift giving where children may have received new devices, it's a good reminder for families to make sure their children are using social media safely. Please take a moment to review the following: Teaching Kids to Be Smart About Social Media.

Rooms Communication App
You may notice that an additional button, called Rooms, will be visible at the bottom right of our Attleboro Public Schools mobile app. This button is part of our integrated system of communication and will allow for your child’s teachers/coaches/and other staff to share detailed information (assignments, special events, practice schedules, etc.). More information is forthcoming.
In addition to downloading the app, guardians will need to set up their accounts. This can be done by going to the link contained in the email sent to all guardians yesterday (and following the directions)
If you haven’t already done so, please download the APS app designed for mobile devices.
