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).

On Friday, Feb 10 the Studley Elementary School Chorus has been invited to sing at the Amica Pavillion before the start of the Providence Bruins game. All are welcome to come. Information can be found on the flyer below.

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.
