The School district used to be at the forefront of using social media tools to communicate but it has dropped off recently. The School Committee blog was last updated when? Yes, the Twitter account usage at the high school is good. Finding appropriate methods of communicating with all segments of the school district remains the key challenge. If they solve that, the survey results will themselves be more accurate as the information captured will better reflect reality.
I included the two policy revision documents here. The one on 'gifts to staff' should be required reading for all parents to ensure their year end and special occasion gifts to teachers are compliant with the State ethics policy.

Franklin Library: Fun on the Trail
The Franklin and Bellingham Rail Trail Committee has collaborated with the Franklin Library to put this pair of events together. Your child makes an art craft one Saturday (Sept 20) and then takes a walk on the trail the next (Sept 27) to find the art craft.
Nice combination of art and exercise!
This was shared from the Franklin Library page here
