  • School and District Report Cards from the Massachuse...

    Dear Framingham Families, Every year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) releases a “performance report card” for each public school and its district in the state justifying its progression. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the School and District’s report card is designed to show families how students at each school performed on the state tests, assessment proficiencies, graduation rates, student growth and much more. Families can use the information given on the report cards to have meaningful conversations with us about areas in which the school is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Our education leaders will use the information and feedback given to us to better understand how we can improve the support for our students and their schools. To improve students' performance in each of our schools, we are focusing on equity to ensure all students have access to high quality instruction. We encourage you to become involved in helping us improve our schools and your child’s education. We see families and the Framingham community as critical partners in the success of our students and schools, and we are grateful for your continued support. Please note, if your child attended a school that received federal Title I funds during the 2025-2026 school year (Barbieri, Brophy, McCarthy, Stapleton, Harmony Grove, Cameron and Fuller), you have the right to request the following information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers: Whether your child’s teacher is licensed in the grade levels and subject areas they teach Whether your child’s teacher is teaching under an emergency license or waiver The college degree and major of your child’s teacher The qualifications from the paraprofessional staff providing extra support to your child (if applicable) If you have questions in regards to our School and District report card, would like to become involved in the school improvement activities, or would like to request information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher and/or paraprofessionals, please contact the Office of Teaching and Learning at (508) 626-9132.

Click here to see the most updated version Dear FPS Community: As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we do so during a moment when many in our community may be carrying fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight due to recent immigration issues. For some families, this moment feels personal, unsettling, and exhausting. Please know that you are not alone. Dr. King reminded us that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” His legacy calls us not only to reflect, but to act with courage, compassion, and commitment to one another. Framingham Public Schools is a community built on care, connection, and belonging. Our schools are meant to be safe, supportive spaces where every child is welcomed, valued, and able to learn without fear. That commitment does not waver, especially during times of uncertainty. To our families and staff who are impacted or feeling vulnerable: you matter. Your presence, culture, language, and contributions are an essential part of who we are as a district. We continue to affirm our responsibility to stand with our students and families, to protect dignity, and to ensure our schools remain places of stability, humanity, and hope. On this day of remembrance and service, we remain committed to building a community where everyone belongs. We will continue to show up, to listen, and to support one another in ways that honor the humanity of every person we serve, today and every day.

Family preparedness plans are a collection of documents and important information about family member’s medical history, childcare preferences, social security numbers, financial matters, and more.  A preparedness plan also outlines immediate and longer-term actions to be taken if a member of the family is detained or otherwise at risk. Compiling this plan ahead of time will reduce stress and result in better outcomes for your family. Keep the documents you have collected and copied in a physical binder and/or an electronic folder that is then shared with others in the family. Down below are translated versions of a Family Preparedness Plan you can fill out, feel free to ask a Community Partner or Family Support Coordinator to help you fill one out!

King, Jr. Elementary School, Dr. Robert A. Tremblay, Superintendent of the Framingham  Public Schools, and Dr. Patrick Tutwiler, Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth  of Massachusetts. January 21, 2026  (Framingham, MA) —  Framingham Public Schools is proud to announce that King Elementary School was recognized as a 2025 School of Recognition by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).  Mr. James Bergeron, Principal of King Elementary School and Dr. Robert Tremblay, Superintendent of Schools attended a special celebration on the Grand Staircase of the State House in Boston yesterday. As part of the annual state reporting process, DESE designates a small cohort of schools as "Schools of Recognition" in honor of their superior academic results and substantial growth milestones. King Elementary School was identified as one of the select group of schools from across the Commonwealth to be recognized.  “Being named a DESE School of Recognition is a tremendous honor that belongs to our hardworking educators, our students, and the families who make the King community what it is,” said James Bergeron, Principal of King Elementary School. “At King, we believe that all students can and will succeed with the appropriate support, and this milestone is a reflection of that collective commitment. Thank you to our incredible students and staff for your dedication and for making this achievement possible. I also want to take a moment to share my appreciation for our partners at the district level.”    “What an honor it was today to sit beside Principal Bergeron at the Grand Staircase in the Massachusetts State House and to be recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Commonwealth’s Secretary of Education, and to do so in the presence of Framingham’s legislative delegation from the Massachusetts Senate and House of Representatives,” said Dr. Robert A. Tremblay, Superintendent of the Framingham Public Schools. “To be clear, however, Principal Bergeron and I were acting as representatives of the incredible work done by the dedicated educators and support staff at King Elementary School and in our Office of Teaching and Learning. It is because of their commitment to our instructional priorities and their dedicated service to our students every day that we were afforded this recognition.” "King Elementary’s designation as a School of Recognition is a powerful validation of the school and district’s alignment and fidelity to our core values. It demonstrates what is possible when everyone shares a commitment to high-quality instruction, consistent communication, and professional learning,” said Assistant Superintendent Anne Ludes. “This achievement highlights the incredible partnership between the district, the dedicated staff at King, and our families. It truly takes everyone working collaboratively to foster such resilience and academic growth, and I am incredibly proud of Principal Bergeron and his team for modeling what student-centered excellence looks like in Framingham." The Framingham School Committee will recognize Principal James Bergeron, Vice Principal Patrick Gilman, and the entire King Staff at their meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.

    Dear FPS Community: As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we do so during a moment when many in our community may be carrying fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight due to recent immigration issues. For some families, this moment feels personal, unsettling, and exhausting. Please know that you are not alone. Dr. King reminded us that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” His legacy calls us not only to reflect, but to act with courage, compassion, and commitment to one another. Framingham Public Schools is a community built on care, connection, and belonging. Our schools are meant to be safe, supportive spaces where every child is welcomed, valued, and able to learn without fear. That commitment does not waver, especially during times of uncertainty. To our families and staff who are impacted or feeling vulnerable: you matter. Your presence, culture, language, and contributions are an essential part of who we are as a district. We continue to affirm our responsibility to stand with our students and families, to protect dignity, and to ensure our schools remain places of stability, humanity, and hope. On this day of remembrance and service, we remain committed to building a community where everyone belongs. We will continue to show up, to listen, and to support one another in ways that honor the humanity of every person we serve, today and every day. Very truly yours, Bob Tremblay
