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.

CTE Update

The Bistro will be open on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.  They will not be open on the half day on Friday, January 17th. 

Attleboro High School was recently awarded a CTE Curriculum Frameworks and Competency Based Implementation grant from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education totaling $112,024.  This competitive grant award will support Attleboro High School in implementing the Career and Technical Education Frameworks using competency-based systems; systems that intentionally and meaningfully map teaching, learning, and assessment to ensure students gain the skills and knowledge necessary for college, career, and civic engagement. Attleboro High School will engage with DESE, students, families, and other stakeholders to implement systems that integrate career-connected learning with grade level aligned math, English, and science content.  Attleboro High School is excited to be participating in the competency-based CTE curriculum development program.  We believe that this approach will provide students with clear pathways to gain essential skills and knowledge, fostering a more engaging and relevant learning experience.

BPAC Fundraiser

Krispy Kreme donuts are one of a kind, but hard to find.  Be on the lookout for a one of a kind fundraiser coming soon!

News from our Tech Department

Please be aware that a scam email is being circulated through the student’s Gmail accounts re: job opportunities. This is a phishing scam attempting to get students to participate in a check laundering scam or to obtain personal information such as passwords, social security numbers and banking information. We have taken steps to mitigate the spread of this email in our system. At no time will the district send out mass emailing’s re: jobs or other opportunities without prior notice from school administrators. These emails would be sent by district staff only. If you receive a suspected SPAM email from another student or staff account, please send it to the SPAM folder in your GMAIL account, this will let the Technology Department and the google system know about it and help us mitigate the threat. SPAM emails can be easily identified as they may originate from foreign countries and contain poor spelling and grammar. Never respond to SPAM email messages. If you have corresponded with someone who sent the email, stop all communication with the person. Be sure to contact your bank and local authorities if you have conducted any transactions involving money with them.
