As you may be aware, a disturbing nationwide trend has made its way to Massachusetts.
While the Attleboro Public Schools community has not received any reports of these messages yet, they have been reported in several states, including Alabama, California, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
In these states, students of color have received texts that have some variation of a message that they have been “selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.”
This is an abhorrent trend that does not reflect our values as a school community or a people. Racism in any form has no place in our schools, our community, or our society, and we will stand firm in our efforts to eradicate it.
Massachusetts State Police have been notified of the instances that occurred in Massachusetts, and police in other communities are working with the Commonwealth Fusion Center to investigate the matter and share resources. Please contact your local police should you have received a message as described above.
Thank you for your continued support.
Due to an ongoing lack of rainfall and critically low water supply levels, Attleboro needs your help to conserve water resources.
We had a fun week with all of the spirit days this week! Just a reminder that the ELC has no school next Tuesday 11/5 and Thursday 11/7! We will see everyone on Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

Meet Macy!
It was a gorgeous week that was spent outside learning and playing! Next week is our spirit week! Look closely at the days as one had to switch due to warmer weather. If your child's class was not included in the fall fun don't worry we will have more next week! Lots of fun fall activities continue!

Dear Thacher/ELC Community,
We hope you join us tonight at Studley Elementary School at 6 PM for a Strategic Plan Focus Group Meeting. I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Frank Rich, Principal
Short week this week! Just a reminder that it is getting colder out. Please layer your students as they go outside for recess at various times during their sessions. Label all hats and mittens as there often are other students who have the same items. See you all for a full week next week!

We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow. All families will come in Door 1 and go and sit by teacher in the auditorium. If you do not know which teacher, please see those attending to the door as they will have a list of all students and teachers.
