Please join us for Blue Pride Night at 6:00 PM tomorrow, February 8 (@ AHS). Come see what the excitement is all about. #thisisattleboro
Temperatures are anticipated to be significantly lower than we have enjoyed thus far this winter, and we would like to remind everyone to dress appropriately and suggest layering clothes if possible.
Schools will begin and end at their regular times, and we will be opening buildings early, so that students can enter as they arrive.
Due to the inclement weather forecasted for this evening, we are postponing Blue Pride Night. We are tentatively planning to reschedule the event for Wednesday, February 8.
Due to the impending forecast the District is canceling all evening activities.
The Student Council of Attleboro High School is hosting a mayoral debate this Wednesday evening, January 11, at 6:30 in the Robert H. Bray Auditorium. The purpose of the debate is to help the citizens of Attleboro select their next mayor.
Candidates will be participating in a town hall style debate in which they will be answering questions posed by the students of AHS. Students will also be moderating the debate.
Doors for the event will open at 6:00, and the public is warmly invited to attend. Those attending are encouraged to park in the rear of the building and enter through the cafeteria doors, which are closest to the auditorium.
Starting on Monday, January 9, Attleboro Public Schools will adjust the way attendance alerts are sent to a student’s contacts. Moving forward, the primary and secondary contacts for any student who is marked absent will be sent a text and phone message, regardless if you have already notified the school. If you do not receive a message from the school, please reach out to the main office at your student’s school to confirm your mobile number is correct in our database. Alternatively, families may complete the “APS Student Contact Update” workflow in Aspen. Instructions on how to complete this workflow can be found here: https://5il.co/1ldxt
