This Week's Note From Mr. Evan Chelman, Principal
Dear Hill-Roberts Families,
Happy New Year! The initial work has been done by the educators of Hill-Roberts to put in place the structures and routines that allow for rich learning opportunities to happen during this most crucial time of the year. As we head into the middle of winter in New England, please do your best to keep yourselves and your kids healthy and ready to learn. This stretch is an important one, between now and February vacation.
Speaking of being healthy, please see the new AUTOMATED ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION routine below.
This was also the first week for our new Acting Assistant Principal, Mrs. Alicia Morin. Please see below for her introduction. We hope to see many faces at Tuesday night's PTO Meeting!
Be well,
Evan

Student Attendance Notification Protocol
Dear Families,
As we all know, student attendance is directly connected to student success. Starting on Monday, January 9, Attleboro Public Schools will adjust the way attendance alerts are sent to a student’s contacts. Moving forward, the primary contact for any student who is marked absent will be sent a text and phone message, regardless of whether you have already notified the school. If you do not receive a message from the school, please reach out to the main office at your student’s school to confirm your mobile number is correct in our database. Alternatively, families may complete the “APS Student Contact Update” workflow in Aspen. Instructions on how to complete this workflow can be found here: https://5il.co/1ldxt
