Family Update 24-25

1.17.25


Thank you to all the families who joined us last night for parent teacher conferences. This collaboration is important for our students to see home/school as partners in their educational journey. 


Next Week and Beyond

We have four days of school next week. There is no school on Monday. Please see the even/odd calendar below for additional details. 



House Office Communication

In an effort to improve communication between families and their house office we have created an email address specific to each house.  Please utilize this email address for all communication regarding attendance (absences/tardies/dismissals) or general inquiries. You can still reach the house office by phone and to guidance counselors and the assistant principal as needed.


CTE Update

  • The Blue Pride Bistro will be open Thursday and Friday next week.  Also, stop into the Blue & Beyond Salon and Spa as well as the Blue Hangar school store!

  • HERE is a recent article that was shared by the Sun Chronicle and the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators about an exciting grant award.


Reminder: Course Requests and Student Appeals

Grade 9-11 students who requested advanced level coursework (Honors or AP), but did not receive a teacher recommendation may submit an appeal application. The deadline to complete the application is Wednesday, January 29. This is a firm deadline and no exceptions can be made as the school must move forward with building our schedule for next year. Students and families should refer to THIS DOCUMENT for specific details regarding the appeals process.


ELPAC Meeting

Join parents of other English Learners for an ELPAC meeting on January 21, 2025, at 5:30 PM. Parents/Guardians who attend will learn about Attleboro Public Schools.
