Franklin Public Schools: Accelerated Dismissal/No Afterschool & Evening Activities for Dec 17

Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Accelerated Dismissal Called

Dear Franklin Families and Faculty/Staff,

We continue to monitor weather conditions and the forecast calls for some icing to continue in our area this afternoon and then a brief change to snow again between 6-8 PM.

As a result of the forecast, the Franklin Public Schools will begin releasing high school and middle school students in an accelerated fashion on Tuesday afternoon, December 17, 2019, but it will not be on an early release schedule.

Middle school and high school will dismiss 15 minutes early to get the buses on the road. Elementary schools will dismiss at normal times. The thought behind this is that any delays in travel caused by weather conditions may still allow for the elementary students to arrive at home on time and safely.

All afternoon and evening activities for Franklin Public Schools will be cancelled today, Tuesday, December 17, 2019. There will be no late bus service after school.

Solutions families – The Solutions Program will open as usual. Solutions staff are assessing the weather; if a decision is made to close Solutions early, a Solutions staff member will contact each family to advise them of the early closing time.

Sincerely,

The Franklin Public Schools

FPAC brings Broadway Home to Franklin for the Holidays - Dec 20-22

The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC), Franklin TV, and The Woonsocket Museum of Broadcast Technology will team up this week to bring a special holiday show to THE BLACK BOX. 

Together, they will present the world premiere of Christopher Rice's The Tappy Christmas Special: LIVE! based on Rice's viral #TAPPY video series which has been seen by more than 10 million people worldwide. THE BLACK BOX will be transformed into a classic soundstage where Broadway's Christopher Rice (Pretty Woman, Book of Mormon) will bring his Christmas variety show to life and whirl the audience away to a world filled with classic holiday songs, tap dancing feet, and special Broadway guests including Liz Byrne (Baby It’s You!), Clay Thomson (Newsies, Matilda, KING KONG), and Jennifer Johns (Founder of Broadway Artists Alliance).

We’re honored for the opportunity and thank the FPAC for their commitment to making the arts accessible to Franklin area residents through THE BLACK BOX.”

Franklin Public Schools: Opening on time; emergency busing in effect - Tues, Dec 17

Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Dear Franklin Families and Faculty/Staff,

We have been monitoring the forecast carefully and have been remaining apprised of road conditions in Franklin. Roads and sidewalks in Franklin have been pre-treated and temperatures will remain in a zone where the salt should have an effect, resulting in melting. Snowfall totals have been downgraded in our area.

As a result, Franklin Public Schools will open on time today. As a friendly reminder, parents/guardians may choose to not send a child to school if they feel road conditions are not safe.

Emergency busing will be in effect in the morning and students walking or waiting along routes will be offered rides by our drivers.


Sincerely,

Franklin Public Schools
