According to Massachusetts state law, all students in Framingham need to be fully vaccinated.

If this pertains to your student, a notice has already been sent to your email. If you are unsure if this applies to you or you have an exemption, please reach out to your student's pediatrician or your school nurse.

What is the FHS PTBO?
The Framingham High School Parent Teacher Booster Organization is a 501(3)c, non-profit organization. We foster cooperation and communication between families, students, administration, and staff. We raise money to provide funding for teacher grants that enhance curriculum, senior class scholarships, and staff appreciation. We meet four times a year to discuss issues at the high school and brainstorm ideas for improving our community. 2024-2025 Meeting Schedule: ● Thursday, Jan. 23 @ 6:30 - 7:30 pm ● Thursday, Mar. 20 @ 6:30 - 7:30 pm ● Thursday, May 29 @ 6:30 - 7:30 pm
PTBO Fundraising: ❖ Much of our fundraising comes from the daily operation of the Booster Room, located in the lobby of the FHS gymnasium. The Booster Room is open after school for students to purchase snacks, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies which the students LOVE, drinks, and merch (cash, only). We rely on parent volunteers in order for the Booster Room to be open. Please sign up for a time slot if you are available during the hours of 1 - 2:45 PM, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B4AA5AA23A57-ptbo
Volunteers will be trained; no prior experience is necessary.
❖ Another major fundraiser for the FHS PTBO is the FHS Marketplace that occurs on the 1st Saturday of December. Be on the lookout for more information in a few weeks. Again, we rely on parent volunteers to run this event.

Arrival and Dismissal
All cars dropping students off will pull down the middle lane in two rows up to the crosswalk. Once the row is at capacity, students will exit their cars. All cars will exit and the new row of cars will follow. This will mean not all students will be dropped off at the crosswalk. All students should utilize the crosswalk in the parking lot.
In order to keep things moving, it is imperative that drivers drop their students off wherever they fall in line and not wait until the crosswalk. Additionally, students should be ready to immediately get out of their vehicle. If you or your student need additional time or assistance getting out of the car, alternative arrangements can be made. Please reach out to your house VP to do so.
For dismissal, cars may access the first row as has traditionally been done. As cars arrive on campus, please pull up as far as you can so that as many cars as possible may fit into the row. Additionally, there should be two rows of cars in that lane.

Cell Phone Policy (Building-Wide Focus for 2024-25)
Upon entering the classroom, students will place phones in caddies or away in bags. Phones will not be visible or on their person. Same applies to airpods/earbuds.
During instructional time, phones are away and silent including trips during class-time to the bathroom. (Consistent with MCAS/AP Protocols)
No charging, not on desk, in pant pockets, on desk seat, on top of backpack, etc.
Students can continue use in hallways, cafeteria, or during privileges this year.
Parents have a role to play in helping us enforce this policy. Please refrain from texting or calling your teens during school hours. If there is a family emergency, then revert back to what we all did while growing up: call the school directly 1-508-620-4963.
Cell Phones have become ubiquitous in recent years and schools have struggled to adequately come to terms with their use, but it is increasingly clear that cell phones have a detrimental effect not only on student performance, but also on school culture.

E-Hall Pass
FHS will be utilizing a digital hall pass system this year called Securly Pass (Formerly named E-Hall Pass). Please see the document linked below for instructions on how to request a pass. You will need your school ID to expedite the process. We will not be using paper passes and Campus Safety Monitors will have the E-Hall pass app to check on permission for students in the hallways.
