“We don’t shut down during the summer”

Milford Daily News reports on the activities on campus during the summer for schools like Framingham State and Dean College.

“The summer’s a busy time on college campuses,” said Dave Drucker, dean of students at Franklin’s Dean College. 

At Dean, freshman orientations begin in June. The college holds four separate sessions for students and parents. 

“We really orientate our students to what life is going to be like at Dean,” Drucker said. “We work very closely with the families about what that transition will be like for students. We try to forge a partnership to work with them through the first year to commencement.”

One change Dean made on their campus this summer was the addition of wrought iron fencing in places where it didn't already exist to complete the look.

In the News: Back to school

Milford Daily News does an interesting round up of the area school districts and what changes occurred during the summer.

School districts in MetroWest and the Milford area opened classes for the school year last week or will begin this week after Labor Day. In many districts, the new year means changes including new hires for teachers and administrative jobs, buildings that have been renovated, as well as programs and classroom tools that have been added. The following is a catalog of stories outlining the major changes at each area school district.

Construction progress at the new high school building is what is covered in Franklin's summary. Read the full article here: http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/x1155158556/Its-back-to-school-time#ixzz2ddRCM2p8
