Welcome back to school! We are immensely excited to have all of our children back in the classrooms at Willett. We have missed the hustle and bustle of the school year and look forward to seeing the smiling faces again this Monday (for grades 1-4). The teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare for you and are ready for an amazing year. Let the adventure, creativity, collaboration and learning begin! Can't wait to see you!

The Whaler:

As a way of maintaining communication with families, we will continue to send the Whaler on a weekly basis. We have decided it will now be sent out on Friday afternoons.

Badges:

We are requesting that students in grades 1-4 bring their badges from last year to school with them every day, as they are used both in the cafeteria and the library. If you are unable to find it, please send in a note to give to the classroom teacher.

Our new website and App:

Please go to the App store and search Attleboro Public Schools. There is a new app which will be an excellent means of finding information in one location. You will see updates both from the district and our school. As we use this new tool, administration will be using less of the ASPEN email function.

Primary Voting -Car Drop off and Pick Up Change-Tuesday, September 6, 2022 Only

Willett is a voting location. Our gym will host voting on 9/6/2022. Because of this, we need to slightly move the location of car drop off and pick up for that day only. We are asking families to drop off and pick up children near the field right before the crosswalk (See the pictures below) We will have staff escort students into the cafeteria door (Door 10) when they arrive. Students and staff will be gathered on the field at dismissal. We will call them to their cars 4-5 at a time.
