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 contact 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

The PTO is excited to share our new PTBoard site at https://coelhopto.ptboard.com/. Information about events and fundraisers run by the PTO will be posted here. Signing up is not required to view the information on our site but will be necessary to participate in volunteer opportunities.

If you've previously given the PTO your email address, keep an eye out for an invite in your inbox. Otherwise, families can sign up by going directly to the site and choosing "Sign Up" in the upper right (or under the right-hand menu on mobile). Our school code is VJS3VB.

Thank you for your support!

APS is currently updating the mobile phone numbers on record so that we can send school cancellations and other urgent notices via text message. We ask that you update your contact information in Aspen using the workflow directions listed here: https://5il.co/1ldxt

If you have multiple students, please complete the workflow for each one. Families who wish to have their child(ren) receive text messaging from the district/school, should provide student cell phone number(s) through this workflow as well.

Please take the time to download the new APS app for your phone. You will be able to receive notifications and important information from CMS, as well as Attleboro Public Schools.

Families,

Please join us at Wamsutta Middle School on October 26th at 6:30 pm to learn more about the Middle School International Travel Program and our currently scheduled tour of Italy and Greece, April 12-21, 2024. During the year the trip is run (the school year 2023-2024), if your child is in grades 6-8, s/he is eligible. Parents, you may register and join your child in the program as well! Hope to see you there 🙂
