I wanted to share an email that I recently sent to students regarding Computer Chargers.  It is important to check your equipment for damage to avoid unwanted shocks or damage.  If your student has damaged equipment please have them take it to the Library to be replaced.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Dear FHS Families,

We've made a lot of progress with the planning of our Teacher Appreciation Week celebration in May.  FHS Survivor 2024 will feature Immunity Necklaces, Survivor Challenges, Daily Grab Bags and Prizes, and the crowning of the Final Survivor (and grand prize winner) at the end of the week.  Additionally we are providing a Continental Breakfast, Full Catered Lunch, and Snack Stand to keep our teachers fueled and ready for the fun.  With 220 teachers and staff members at FHS, this undertaking requires a ton of supplies and lots of help to make it happen. 

We realize not everyone can take time to come into school and volunteer, or take the time to physically go to a store to shop, so we have created lots of different ways for you to get involved and be a part of making this week a success:

Dear 9th grade Parent or Guardian, 

Franklin Public School nurses will be conducting postural screening on all students in grades 5-9 this spring per Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c.71, s.57) . The purpose is to detect early signs of possible spinal problems in children. It is not a diagnostic service but a program to identify those who should have further medical evaluation. If your child has any unusual findings, you will be notified and asked to take the child to a physician. The majority of students exhibit no findings. If nothing unusual is found, we will not be contacting you again. 

School Nurses are required to perform these screenings annually (grades 5-9) regardless of whether or not a child has been screened by their provider.

Parents may choose to opt-out of their child's school screening by providing a written statement (M.G.L. c71, s57). If choosing to opt your child out of the school screening, please forward a copy of your child's most recent postural (scoliosis) screening to your child's school nurse. 

If you would prefer your student NOT to be screened for scoliosis at school this year, please complete this google form. Please complete by May 1st.

Sincerely,

Lisa Daly

Good Afternoon Students and Families of the Class 2026,

On Friday, March 15th, we will be having our MCAS Infrastructure Trial during E period. 

A few key things to keep in mind:

• This is just a trial.  It is to test internet connectivity and allow students to refamiliarize themselves with how the test works on their chromebooks.
• Students will report to the rooms where they will test for the actual MCAS later this month. Room assignments will be posted throughout the building and will be shared via English classes.  
• Please send students to school with fully charged chromebooks.
• Students must take the MCAS on a school issued device.  Therefore,we will have a limited number of loaner chromebooks for students who bring their own devices on MCAS testing days. 
• As a reminder, the English Language Arts MCAS is scheduled for March 26-27 from 7:35am-11:10am.  No dismissals are allowed during the testing period, so please plan accordingly.  

Thank you,

FHS Administration

Good Morning FHS Famiies,

Registration is done on familyid.com.  We are only collecting the athletic fee for Boys/Girls Outdoor Track and Unified Track. Those can be paid HERE.

All sports start on Monday March 18th with the exception of Unified Track and Spring Strength & Conditioning.

Dear FHS Families,

We are headed toward that time of year again! National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6th - 10th this year and the planning needs to start now if we are going to succeed in offering a week filled with fun for FHS teachers and staff.

At this time, we have a rough plan based around the theme of FHS Survivor Island. Outwit, Outplay, Outlast (loosely designed around the ever popular CBS series). We’re thinking immunity idols, survivor challenges, a themed brunch and lunch, and pretty much anything else we can dream up!

FHS Students,

I hope you are all enjoying your transition into 2nd semester.  I wanted to send a reminder concerning a few things.

1.  Please have your ID on you during the school day.  Your ID is critical for a number of security and logistical reasons.

2.  School begins at 7:35 AM.  The expectation is that you are in your class at 7:35 AM.  In the past when we have had unexpected bad weather or some other disruption we have held the bell to allow for a safe arrival.  This is not an everyday occurrence.  Please adhere to getting to school on time.  If you are unable to arrive at school on time please get a pass at the main office entryway using your student ID.

3.  If you are arriving at school after an advisory period please sign in at your house office.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

FHS Families of 9th grade students,

Please click HERE to read a letter regarding MOOD CHECK, a program supported by the Franklin Public Schools and directed by Dr. Tracy Gladstone, a licensed clinical psychologist formerly with Wellesley College and now with the Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute at Brown University. This program will be implemented at Franklin High School during the weeks of February 5th and 12th, 2024.

This is a comprehensive depression screening program that serves Franklin students and their families by: 

• providing education about the problem of youth depression and anxiety
• screening students for symptoms of anxiety and depression
• engaging adolescents and their parents/guardians in a discussion about mental health needs and services
• connecting students and families to resources and providing follow-up.  

Dear FPS Staff and Families,

School will begin on time on Monday, January 8, 2024. After consulting with the DPW, they confirmed all school lots will be cleared and treated overnight in preparation for the start of school tomorrow.  That said, we ask all students and staff to proceed cautiously, both on the road and entering the buildings, as temperatures continue to drop overnight, creating icy conditions. 

As an added safety measure, our bus drivers have been instructed to stop and pick up any student who may be walking to school in the cold along the bus route, providing the child with a safe ride to school.  Parents of students who drive to school, please remind your children to plan ahead and exercise caution while driving.  Be safe.  

Respectfully,

Franklin Public Schools

Dear FHS Families,

Sent 12/18/2023 to all FPS Families regarding wind conditions and road closures:

As we begin our winter athletic season I wanted to share with you our expectations around fan behavior at our games.  Being respectful is one of our core values and it is important to show it in all areas of our school.  We have been off to a great start this year in terms of our sportsmanship and I look forward to supporting our teams and fans throughout the season!  

Dear Class of 2026 Families,

FHS Families,

We are looking forward to strengthening our Social and Emotional care of our students with an upcoming survey done during our advisory period on 12/15.  This survey will help our school improve understanding of how schools, families, and communities can support student mental health more effectively.  To learn more about the survey including how to opt out please click on the link below.

Weekend Backpack Program

Dear Franklin Public School Families,

This letter is to inform you of a new program available for children enrolled in Franklin Public Schools.  Franklin Public Schools has partnered with the Franklin Food Pantry to provide food to students who might benefit from this support.  Together, we will gather, package, and provide bags of food for students during the school year to take home over the weekend.  Students who participate in this program are kept confidential to appropriate school personnel.  Names are not shared with food pantry personnel. 

The packaged food will be sent home on Fridays, and this will continue through the end of the school year.  This is a free program for all participating families.  The backpacks will contain a variety of child friendly foods.  Some examples are granola bars, oatmeal, SpaghettiOs, shelf stable milk and Ritz crackers.  The backpacks will be distributed to students in a discreet and caring manner. 

If you are interested in receiving the Backpack or have questions about the program, please call the Nurse’s office.  

You may also sign below and return this letter to the School Nurse:

I would like my child (name) ______________________________________________,to participate in the Weekend Backpack Program (please list the names of all children that you would like to participate).

Dear Prospective Students and Parents,

We are thrilled to announce an exciting travel opportunity for Franklin High School students in April 2025—a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand!

At Franklin High School, we believe in the power of experiential learning and the value of exploring the world beyond the classroom. This educational adventure promises to be an enriching and transformative experience for our students, offering them the chance to immerse themselves in the rich history, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes of Southeast Asia.

Here's a glimpse of what awaits your child on this incredible journey:

Destination Highlights:

Vietnam: Explore the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, cruise through the Mekong Delta, discover the village of Cai Be, and learn about the history of the Vietnam War.

Cambodia: We will fly into Siem Reap where we will visit the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Elephant Terrace, and Terrace of the Leper King.

Thailand: Experience the vibrant city life of Bangkok, visit the Grand Palace as well as ancient temples including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

Educational Enrichment:
Our travel program is designed to enhance your child's global perspective, cultural awareness, and interpersonal skills. They will have the opportunity to engage in learning experiences, interact with local communities, and gain a deeper understanding of the world.

Safety and Support:
The safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. We will be working closely with EF Tours, a trusted travel agency, and their experienced tour guides who are well-versed in the region. Additionally, our teachers and chaperones will be accompanying the group throughout the journey.

Information Session:
To learn more about this exciting opportunity, we invite you to attend an informational session on Thursday, October 5, 2023 6:30 - 7:30 in the Franklin High School Auditorium. During this session, we will provide detailed information about the itinerary, costs, and the application process. This will also be an excellent opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Contact Information:
If you have any immediate questions or require further information, please feel free to reach out to: 

FHS Families,

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!  Here is the link to the letter shared in the FHS Newsletter.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Josh Hanna

No previously "redeemed tickets" will be accepted at the gate. 

FHS Juniors,

If you are parking at the rink, please remember to park to the LEFT of the building only. The rink graciously provides this area for FHS student parking. Students who park in areas that are not designated for FHS student parking will be ticketed. 

To the FHS Community,

Time is running out to register for our February Vacation International Trip to Belize!

October 30th is the deadline for students to enroll for the STEM trip that will include adventurous excursions through the rainforest and coral reefs, lessons on sustainability and conservation, and immersive cultural experiences. Enrollment is open to any current FHS student who is in good academic and behavioral standing. That is anyone Senior, Junior, Sophomore or Freshmen who is earning passing grades in their courses and who we receive positive feedback about from their teachers. 

If you are interested in learning more information please fill out this survey. Trip leaders will check student eligibility and email you with the details to enroll if you qualify. 

Please be advised: if you are interested and do not have a current passport we encourage you to expedite the process ASAP to ensure you receive the passport in time for the travel company to book accommodations. We will share more information once you give us your contact information in the survey above. 

From your Belize Trip Leaders,
