Dear Franklin families,  This is a friendly reminder that Friday, December 22nd is a half day for all students.  PSS dismissal time is 11:45 FMS dismissal time is 12:45 FHS dismissal time is 12:55 You can also always find early dismissal schedules on the Families Hub, found on the website or mobile app.  I want to wish you all a wonderful, restful, and healthy holiday with your loved ones.  Happy Holidays,  Dan LeGallo - Superintendent

Power was restored at FHS at 11:24 am

A fallen tree on wires on Daniel Point/ Victory Drive required Eversource to shut down the power at FHS temporarily. They have assured us they will push to have our power restored within a half hour and would prefer students remain in the building/ on campus while they contend with the situation. FHS is continuing with classes at this time. We will continue to follow up as we get more information.

Message from the Superintendent 12/04/2023. Good Morning – This is a message from the Superintendents office at S.A.U. 18. There will be a 2 hour delay today in Franklin. This means school arrival and start times will be 2 hours later than usual, and the bus arrival times will be two hours later than usual.
