The first event will take place at the SMOC Offices (7 Bishop St.) in Framingham on Tuesday, January 31st from 4 – 7 PM.

Representatives will also be available to share information and answer questions about other programs and services available, which may include property tax assistance, food assistance, social services and municipal electricity aggregation.

Hi Families! This year, our specialist team wants you to be able to take a look inside our classrooms. This is the first of many "Specialists Corner" for you to see the fun activities we're doing, and communicate any upcoming events or activities!

Here is the next edition of "Specialists Corner!" https://www.smore.com/7df95 (Updated 1/1)

*5th Grade Families: We are exploring the possibility of a yearbook club. If your child is interested in helping shape the look and feel of the yearbook, please fill out this Yearbook Club Interest Form by February 1st.

Don't forget to upload photos for the 5th grade yearbook by March 6th. We're looking for one baby photo and any group photos taken at school events over the years. Each class has its own upload link.

*The PTO would like to give a big shoutout to our King Alumni who performed, managed, operated, played, and supported so wonderfully in Fuller's performance of The Little Mermaid Jr this weekend! Awesome job!

*If you'd like to volunteer for the upcoming King of Hearts Dance, scheduled for Saturday March 4, please email Maryellen Butler at ptokingelementary@gmail.com or fill out the volunteer form here: https://kingelementarypto.membershiptoolkit.com/Volunteer

*If you are interested in helping the PTO with in-person or virtual Portuguese or Spanish translation at future PTO meetings and events, or flyer translations, please reach out to ptokingelementary@gmail.com.

*We are hoping to hold a Multicultural Fair in the spring but need your help! If you'd like to Chair or help with the event, please email Beth Folsom at ptokingcommunity@gmail.com or fill out the volunteer form here: https://kingelementarypto.membershiptoolkit.com/Volunteer

*Be a coffee hero! Sign up to donate and deliver coffee and treats to the staff on a day that works for you here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0549adab29abfd0-king6#/

*Winter gear is needed! Please donate gently used or new snow pants, coats, waterproof gloves, hats, and boots to the main office. Larger sizes are very much in need.

*As we've done in the past, there will be NO February Community PTO meeting due to it being a short month, vacation, and weather. We look forward to seeing everyone in person at the March Community PTO meeting. More info to come!

• We ask that snacks (that are often eaten in the classroom) do not include nuts or nut butters. All classroom spaces at King this year will be allergy friendly rooms. Students are, however, allowed to have nuts and nut butters as part of their lunches in the cafeteria.
• In the cafeteria each classroom has 2 tables. One is labeled allergy friendly. We ask that any students that have nut or nut butter allergies sit at these tables; we ask that any students who have nut or nut butters as part of their lunch sit at the other tables.
• Students have been introduced to this in the cafeteria already, and will be reminded by their classroom teachers again.
