Dear Families,
Over the past few weeks, we have been busy preparing for the beginning of the school year. Although we await the specific details of how school will return, we are ready and excited to start the year! We also understand that given the current uncertainity, there may be questions or information that families may want to share with us, so we really encourage you to reach out to us! Please feel free to post any questions on our Virtual Open Door (see link below).
As we approach the new school year, our goal is to keep a clear communication line to families so please keep in touch and let us know if there is something you need or want to know!
Take care,
Michele and Kathie

DESE Transportation Guidance
If you haven't seen it, here's a look at DESE's Transportation Guidance for the upcoming school year. With this, we anticipate many more parents opting to drive their students/children to school. It will be more important than ever that ALL parents follow protocols for arrival, drop off, and dismissal. Updated procedures are forthcoming.
FPS School Committee Meeting - TONIGHT 8/5/20 at 7:00pm
Below is the agenda and materials being discussed at tomorrow night's school committee. The meeting is important because the committee will continue to unpack the FPS Back to School Plan.
Agenda (includes a link to view the meeting LIVE or recorded after)
Four new sessions have been added, all with Spanish, Portuguese, and ASL Interpretation via Zoom.
Dear Framingham Families,
I hope this message finds you and your family well. Our initial Back to School Plan has been submitted to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and our Leadership Team continues to define what the 2020-2021 school year will look like. We are also still sorting through the many questions submitted by community members and we hope to have the first round of questions and answers published to the website shortly.
Thank you to those of you who attended our Back to School Updates events in July. We heard from many that early morning or later evening worked best so we’ve scheduled 4 upcoming virtual events to continue the Back to School Updates: Live with Dr. Tremblay series. As a reminder, these hour-long information and Q&A sessions will allow Dr. Tremblay to provide updates and answer questions.
