WMS Pool Testing and Weekly Update
February 12, 2021
Good morning Wamsutta Families,
The results from the pooled surveillance testing conducted at WMS on Tuesday were all negative. 87% of all staff and 39% of all students were included in the testing. We thank you for your ongoing adherence and encouragement of health and safety guidelines as it has clearly made a difference. We will continue to follow our protocols and be vigilant about our guidelines. Please remember that you may use the Aspen parent portal to make adjustments to your current consent document at any time.

We hope to start a full, uninterrupted by weather testing week when we return from break.
I have one new notice about a Neighbors in Dialogue meeting and a few repeat notices in regard to Free and Reduced Lunch benefits, the revised travel policy, and the Attleboro Public Library's tutoring program. I hope all our families can enjoy the break.

Last Notice: Attleboro Public Library Tutoring Opportunity
We are deeply indebted to Meghan Witherell, the Tween/Teen Librarian at the APL for the following information:
There is a new resource that the Attleboro Public Library is offering: they now subscribe to Brainfuse HelpNow, which offers FREE online live tutoring to youth and adults, as well as many other amazing learning supports. We know that this year has been a trying one so found a service that will hopefully help support students at home during this time.
Please see below for more information on Brainfuse HelpNow. It can be easily accessed through the APL's website in several locations, under the "elibrary," "children's," and "teens" tabs. Here is the direct link to the Brainfuse HelpNow site where a student would log in using their library card information. This link is to a YouTube video we created that briefly explains how to find the links on our website, log in, and some of the services offered by Brainfuse HelpNow. One important thing to note, live tutoring and other services are offered in English AND Spanish, students have the option to choose which of the two languages they would like their tutor to communicate in.
Below is the press release from Ms. Witherell and the APL.
