KINDERGARTEN - Kindergarten enrollment requirements have changed for the 2024-2025 school year. According to Public Act 23-208, students must now be five years old by September 1, 2024, to enroll in Kindergarten (previously, it was by December 31). Please feel free to contact Lori Goldstein, Director of Special Education, at lgoldstein@franklinschoolct.org if you have any questions or need to schedule a Kindergarten Developmental Assessment for your child for the 2024-2025 School Year. PRESCHOOL - If you have a child who was born in 2020 or 2021, please call the main office or email Lori Goldstein at lgoldstein@franklinschoolct.org with your child's name and D.O.B. so that we can add you to our mailing list for preschool. Even if you do not plan on sending your child to preschool here at FES next year, please still reach out to us so that we have your information.
Please send any additions to the FES Weekly Update to FESAdmin@franklinschoolct.org. From now on, the updates will be emailed to all staff and families, the BoE, and town officials and posted on the school's Facebook page and website.
