WMS Family Update
May 14, 2021
Good morning Wamsutta Families,
I am again happy to report there were no positive pools from our testing this week. We are still seeing positive cases in students and families that do not result in close contacts at school however, so our vigilance with safety protocols must remain.
I have new MCAS, food drive, SNAP survey, community resource, and food drive information to share below.
Thank you as always for your time.
Joseph Connor, WMS
Principal
MCAS
I will review the test security stuff with all students prior to the test. All cell phones and smart watches can't be present in the testing rooms, and teachers have plans to store these items safely during the test. Once they know what they may and may not do or have on the day of testing, I will again echo my message about these tests: Do your best and do not stress about it.
SNAP Gap Survey
Attleboro Public Schools (APS) and the Shah Foundation are looking for feedback from parents and caregivers in our school district about help available to families during the COVID-19 pandemic. This feedback will help community partners, schools and state agencies communicate to families about help available to them.
At the end of the survey, you will have a chance to enter a raffle where you could win one of four $50 gift cards!
The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete. Your answers will be kept anonymous and will not be used to identify you personally in any way.
