The Coelho Post

Spirit Week was absolutely incredible! Our Coelho community brought their A-game with amazing creativity and enthusiasm. From staff and students twinning in matching outfits to spectacular Halloween costumes featuring everything from skeletons and superheroes to inflatable dinosaurs and festive characters, the hallways were buzzing with excitement all week long. The smiles, laughter, and school spirit were contagious! A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this Spirit Week unforgettable. These are the moments that make our Coelho family so special!

This week we celebrated student success and positive behavior at our Cougar Pride Breakfast! Students were recognized for their outstanding efforts, character, and contributions to our school community. Our Coelho mascot joined in the fun as students received certificates and enjoyed a special breakfast together. It was wonderful to see so many proud faces and celebrate the achievements of our amazing students. These breakfasts remind us that at Coelho, we recognize and value kindness, hard work, and positive choices. Congratulations to all our honorees—keep up the fantastic work!

The search is on! We're on a mission to locate a time capsule from the year 2000, and to kick off the excitement, we've posted a fun display featuring staff photos from 25 years ago. Can you find your teacher? Stop by and see if you can match the throwback photos—complete with flip phones, Y2K vibes, and some unforgettable hairstyles—to the staff members you know today! Stay tuned as we continue our hunt for the time capsule. Who knows what treasures from 2000 we'll uncover? This is one mystery the whole Coelho community can enjoy together!

Attleboro Families:

Attleboro High School greatly appreciates the support of families at all AHS sporting events. While most students are there to watch the games and enjoy the event, a number of students have been left/dropped off unsupervised. This has created safety concerns and disruptions for other fans in attendance.

ALL middle school aged students and younger MUST be accompanied by an adult at all high school events. We appreciate your support keeping all in attendance supervised while allowing an enjoyable environment for all.

Please know this expectation is currently in place for AHS events moving forward.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

When dropping off your students, please ensure they exit on the left side of the car (closest to the building). This helps keep our children safe by preventing them from stepping directly into traffic.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe drop-off environment for all students!

Forms that need to be passed back to the homeroom teachers.

• Free/Reduced lunch forms: This is important, even though the lunch program is free this year, the amount of accurate applications that we have helps with federal funding that we receive from the government, which helps educate the students. Please make sure you fill this out, even if you think you won't qualify. Here is the link for the application. https://www.attleboroschools.com/page/food-services

• Update Emergency Form

· From the Nurses Office:

• Health Services Form- sent home on first day of school
