Senior Parents - Yearbook Info!
Senior photos and baby photos are due on Friday, November 20. Get your student’s photos in today by emailing them to: ahsyearbook@attleboroschools.com. Please put the student’s last name and first name separated by a period in the subject line (Ex: Smith.Sally), and please name the photo file the same way. Please make sure photos are high resolution. The photo should be 300 dpi, and sized to 2x2 ½ inches. These things ensure quality printing at publication time.

Annual Food Drive
Our Annual AHS Food Drive is underway! We are looking for donations of non-perishable canned and dry goods with valid expiration dates. You can drop any donations to the SAO. This week the item of the week is Stuffing! Help us help our community and stock the shelves of our local food bank! The Food Drive goes until November 24. Help us reach our goal of 2,000 items!
After School Activities
We are thrilled that so many of our students are participating in after school activities and clubs. When students are done with their event, they should immediately leave the building and not loiter inside of it. We ask that families make transportation arrangements in advance, so as to promote a safe and orderly environment.
Breakfast and Lunch Served Daily
As a reminder, all students have access to breakfast and lunch at school each day. To view lunch menus, click "dining" in your APS app or view them here. Breakfast is served each morning at AHS from 6:45 to 7:10. Additional food resources can be found in the APS Resource Guide.
At AHS, the mental health and emotional well-being of our students are just as important as their academic success. High school can be an exciting time of growth and opportunity, but it can also bring challenges, stress, and pressures that may impact students' mental health. In November, we’re focusing on student mental health. According to survey data, 23% of students have seriously considered attempting suicide, and 12% of students made a plan for attempting suicide in the past. These statistics remind us how important it is to be proactive, recognize when students may be struggling, and ensure they know they are not alone. BIG BLUE WE GOT YOU!
Parents and caregivers play an important role in supporting their children's mental health. Taking time to check in, listening without judgment, keeping communication open, and reminding students that it is okay to ask for help can make a meaningful difference. We encourage families to continue having conversations about emotional well-being and to reach out if they notice changes in their child's mood, behavior, or overall functioning.
Our school community has caring adults available to listen, provide support, and help connect students with additional resources when needed. Please reach out to the school nurse, an adjustment counselor or school psychologist, or house office whenever support is needed. We believe that supporting student mental health is a shared responsibility, and we are committed to working together with families to ensure every student feels valued, connected, and supported. No student or family should have to navigate difficult times alone. If you or someone you love needs emotional support, reach out to the national mental health 988 Lifeline.
Reminder: AP Exam Payment Information
AP students will take their exam(s) in May. The cost is $20 per exam, and all students enrolled in an AP course are required to take the AP Exam. Families can pay online anytime through UniPay Gold.
