Dear Thacher Families, It seems like our long run of warm weather is behind us. Now that we're moving into winter and the colder weather is setting in, it's important that students come to school dressed to be able to endure at least a 20-minute recess outside. There is a preponderance of research supporting the importance of kids getting outside to get fresh air and get the benefits of some sun on their faces. With that in mind, as long as it isn't raining, students will go outside as long as the "feels like" or wind chill temperature is at least 25 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.
