Placement is limited to residents of the 11 towns within the Tri-County District, Franklin, Medfield, Medway, Millis, Norfolk, North Attleboro, Plainville, Seekonk, Sherborn, Walpole and Wrentham. Admission is decided through a lottery system. Registration will be made open to other towns if spaces are not filled by residents within the district.

Birth certificates for children being registered must accompany all registration forms. Registration is limited to those children who are at least age 3 years by September 15, 2018 for the three day program, and 4 years by September 15, 2018 for the four day program. A $25.00 non-refundable registration fee is due at registration time. Enrollment is limited to two years or part of two years for the preschool program, as long as the child is age eligible.

Preschool sessions are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:50 to 11:20 a.m. for the three day program and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the four day program. Tuition is $36.00* per week for the three day program and $48.00* per week for the four day program. Class size is limited to 30 children. *Subject to change

"a great thing considering the town’s history"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The words of the town’s namesake filled the air. And more than three centuries later, many of them still apply. 

To celebrate the 312th birthday of Benjamin Franklin, the town held an inaugural public readathon of his autobiography at the library on Wednesday. 

The daylong event included guest readers spanning from Franklin State Rep. Jeff Roy to local engineer and inventor John Berg. 

Spectators came and went throughout the day, leaving with the words of the founding father jingling around in their heads."

I had the unexpected pleasure of reading the last segment to close out the day. It was fun and so much of what Ben wrote is still applicable today.

Congratulations to all and thank you for your many years of service to the students and community. This is also the time of year where freshmen make their shop selections. Last week we had about 75% of the freshmen parents in with their students to go over the process and take a look at the programs again. The freshmen are currently in their last exploratory. This is always a busy time filled with anxious excitement for the students, teachers, and administration. It completes a process that started over a year ago when these students visited and applied to the school. Times have changed. Some of the programs have changed as well, but our mission remains the same; to provide real-life skills and a future for those students that choose to attend our school.   Thanks for your support, Mr. Procaccini Upcoming Events Admissions - Open Enrollment Going on Now End of 2nd Quarter January 19 Early Release Day February 2 Winter Vacation February 19-23 40 Year Celebration Dinner April 7 Golf Tourmament June 8 About The TC Insider The TC Insider is a biweekly newsletter for the families of Tri-County students.
