This Friday, March 24th is an early release day for all elementary students. We will dismiss at 12:25PM.

Report cards will be published to ASPEN on Friday afternoon (March 24th). We believe parents and guardians an important part of our team. Although communication should be ongoing, reports cards are one way to communicate progress and the overall story of each child. Please make sure you have access to your ASPEN account, so you can look at the report cards. We are here to help you if you need any support.

Also, I want to remind you of the report card grading rubric. Our elementary report cards are standards based and measured on a 4 point rubric. This means that students are assessed each term towards each standard with the ultimate goal being a 4 (independent) or 3 (with support). If you have any questions about your child's grades, please reach out to the teacher for clarification.

As a part of the Massachusetts One8 Program, your school has been working hard to meet your yearly goal of 80% puzzle goal progress by the end of the school year. We want to recognize all the hard work educators and students have done to meet this goal by providing a very special, student-created ST Math banner at your school’s end of year ST Math meeting. But we need your students’ help!

How to Participate:

1. Create a colorful picture (on a standard 8.5 X11sheet of paper) that includes: JiJi, the number 80 represented as a picture, expression, or equation and whatever other creative ideas you have! The picture should take up the majority of the sheet.
2. Return your student's entry to their teacher no later than April 5th.
3. The school with the winning artwork will be notified by April 14th. The winning banner design will be printed by the One8/ST Math team and given to all Massachusetts schools who meet their school-wide goal of 80% average puzzle progress.

Banner Design FAQs:

Who can make a banner?

• Any ST Math student who has a school being supported by the One8 program. That's US!

What makes a great banner?

• We are excited to see student-created banners that include Jiji, a representation of the number 80, and whatever other creative designs, colors, and images that might make a banner pop!

Who will submit the banners?

• Students should return their pictures to their teachers, and we will submit!

GOOD LUCK STUDLEY STARS!

This is Ms. Desvoyaux's, Mrs. Salisbury's and Ms. MacDonald's LAST week.

As soon as I clarified the last day - we had a SNOW DAY! Our last day of school is now June 15th (early release). This will also be the date for our grade 4 step up ceremony.

The last day of kindergarten is STILL June 2nd, which is a FULL day. The last day of K would move to June 9th only IF we had five (5) or more cancellations.

On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, Manet Community Health Center will begin a soft start to their in-person hours at the APS Welcome Center. On Tuesdays from 9AM-12PM, bi-weekly, representatives from the Attleboro Manet location will be available for all APS families to complete the intake/scheduling process and insurance navigation for those who are without health insurance. We will begin to finalize the booking process and share this opportunity widely over the next few weeks; at this time only building nurses and Community Support Liaisons have been informed directly. In the meantime, please share the booking link below with any staff, family, or student who you come across that are in need of primary care or health insurance.
