Congratulations to each of these students, and all that were nominated this month!
Throughout the month of May, each class in the school chose a service project to participate in as a class. This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to come together, display teamwork and leadership skills, and learn about the importance of service in our school and community. Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Janes classes came together and planted flowers in front of the school. Mrs. Baker’s class made book marks and hid them in children’s books at the Attica Library. Miss Kocher and Mrs. Fagan’s classes walked around the block and picked up trash. Each class chose a service project and discussed the importance of their act for those around them.
**Please keep an eye out for a presentation of all our classes and the work they did
coming soon!
Dear Families,
It is hard to believe that June is here and we have reached the final month of the school year! The end of the school year can bring many emotions—excitement, pride, anticipation, and sometimes even worry about transitions and changes. As we finish these last few weeks together, I encourage students to continue practicing kindness, perseverance, and self-care.
This month, I am excited to introduce a Social Emotional Weekly Summer Calendar! The calendar is filled with simple daily activities designed to help students build important life skills while enjoying their summer break.
Throughout the summer, students can practice:
Gratitude and positive thinking
Mindfulness and relaxation
Goal setting
Kindness and empathy
Healthy habits
Family connection
Self-awareness and emotional regulation
These activities are designed to be fun, flexible, and meaningful. Families are encouraged to participate together whenever possible!
Why SEL Matters During Summer:
While summer is a time for rest and fun, it is also a wonderful opportunity for children to continue developing the skills that help them succeed both in and out of the classroom. Small daily practices can strengthen confidence, resilience, problem-solving abilities, and healthy relationships.
Whether your summer includes travel, camps, sports, reading, outdoor adventures, or relaxing at home, we hope it is filled with joy, learning, and meaningful moments.
Thank you for a fantastic school year. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished. Have a safe, healthy, and happy summer!
Warmly,
The Mental Health Department
Miss Crowley & Dr. Marr

What an incredible year it has been for the Attica Elementary PTG! We are so thankful for the amazing support from our families, staff, students, and community throughout every event and opportunity this school year. Together, we created so many memories that will last for years to come.
As many know, we will not be holding our annual Carnival this year due to the capital project taking place. While we will certainly miss this tradition, we are excited to continue supporting our school in different ways throughout the month of June.
We are also excited to announce the newly elected PTG Board for the 2026–2027 school year:
President — Nicole Jermain
Vice President — Sommer Zimmermann
Secretary — Jenn Biniaszewski
Treasurer — Michelle Malecki
We know this incoming board will do wonderful things for our school community, and we wish them an amazing year ahead.
On behalf of the current board, thank you for every volunteer hour, donation, kind word, and moment you showed up for our students and school events this year. Your support made each event truly special and unforgettable.
We hope everyone enjoys these final weeks of school and has a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer vacation!
Be sure to follow the Attica Elementary PTG on Facebook to stay up to date and in the loop for the upcoming school year!
Mid-June the Nurse’s Office will be sending home paperwork for the 2026-2027 school year.
Over-the Counter forms: New this year, per NYS, for your child to receive any over-the-counter medications including Ibuprofen/Motrin/Advil, Acetaminophen/Tylenol, lip balm, lotion, etc...the enclosed Over-The-Counter Medication Form must be completed and signed by your child's physician for those to be given on occasion.
Prescribed medications that need to be given during the school day must be in the original bottle supplied by the pharmacy, brought to school by parent/guardian, and accompanied by a doctor's order.

As we wrap up the last month of school, many students are off on various field trips and out of school activities. Students are able to pick up a bagged lunch from the cafeteria on the morning of their outing free of charge. Please note bagged lunch orders must be placed in advance, so please reach out to your child’s teacher for a lunch order form.
Student account balances will roll over to the new school year automatically. Graduating seniors with account balances will receive a refund check in the mail over the summer. “My School Bucks” will be unavailable starting June 24th as we switch over to new software for the upcoming school year.
Have a safe and healthy summer, Blue Devils!
