I apologize for not sharing the photo of our April Whole School Assembly earlier. Here is a picture of the amazing 2nd-grade role models who supported our kindergarten and first-grade friends to demonstrate how students should act and sound during our assemblies.

Thank you to all the families that came to the school last night to see the amazing Art Show. Mrs. Colella and her volunteers did an incredible job showcasing the skills of our young artists. Last night, 678 people visiting the Art Show. Below is a video of the artwork.

Finally, I am excited to share that teachers will no longer be sending supply lists to families in the summer. The school will provide all materials your child needs to be successful in the classroom. This means there will be no supply lists from teachers and no stressful back-to-school supply shopping! Teachers may have individual wish lists, but all pencils, binders, folders, glue sticks, crayons, markers, etc., will be supplied by the school.

Have a great weekend,

Pete Regan

Principal

shland Middle School Theater Company will present a family friendly production of “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” with a cast and crew of 40 plus students !

The play will run Friday, May 17th at 7pm & Saturday, May 18th at 2pm & 7pm in the AMS Little Theater. Tickets are $10 dollars at the door and cash sales only.

The main character, Alice, journeys into a world of talking animals, comic royalty and races where the contestants run in circles. The other usual suspects, such as the Mad Hatter and the watch-carrying White Rabbit, will be present as well. The play is full of whimsical dance interludes, over-the-top costumes, and classic tomfoolery among these iconic characters.

Please join us ! Love to see you there.

Sincerely,

Mr. Langmeyer, Drama Director

Hello Parents and Guardians,

As we near the end of another successful school year at Ashland Public Schools, I wanted to touch base with a few important reminders, especially for those families whose students will not be returning next year.

If you’ve been using autopay on www.myschoolbucks.com to add funds for a la carte purchases to your child's meal account, we kindly request that you DISABLE AUTOPAY now to prevent any unnecessary reloads over the summer break. Despite our best efforts to manage account balances, autopay can sometimes lead to complications, so it's best to take this precaution.

Additionally, please keep in mind that we can only issue refunds for amounts exceeding $10.00. If your child has remaining funds below this threshold, you have the option to:

1. Transfer the balance to a sibling or another student who will be returning next year.

2. Donate the funds to support a student in need. We'll ensure the transfer is handled anonymously.

Seniors, if there are any funds left on your account, please visit the cashier at the High School to specify your preferences for handling the remaining balance.

Parents, please submit your transfer and donation requests, including your child’s name, ID number. Additionally, for refunds, please provide the address where the check should be sent.

Please send your request and questions to

Regina Wilkinson (rwilkinson@ashland.k12.ma.us) and

Paula Caffrey (pcaffrey@ashland.k12.ma.us).

Thank you for your attention to these matters as we wrap up the school year. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Regina Wilkinson
