Parmenter Notices

The sign says it all for the upcoming schedule at Parmenter Elementary School.

Another Top10 listing

Money/CNN has Franklin, MA ranked in the Top10 of their "100 best places to live and launch"

Shouldn't we tell them to stay away?

With 45 teachers potentially heading out the door in June, our high ranking on MCAS will start dropping as class size increases next year.

Of course, Franklin does have a choice.
  • We can choose to pay our fair share of our children's education.
or
  • We can wait for the Commonwealth to give us more than the 50% of our educational expenses that they do today. (p.s. - that's not likely.)

Did you know? v2.0

This brief (about 8 minutes) video was created in 2006 for an audience of 150 teachers in a Colorado high school. By June 2007, it had already been viewed by over 5 million people.
