Respect, Responsibility, Resilience
Core Values
Every day at Fuller, our CORE Values, or guiding principles, drive our school wide culture. These core values are taught and then reinforced daily with every student. We expect all students to demonstrate Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience towards everyone and in every situation.
Thank you to everyone who attended our 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony on Friday Night
Important Reminders
Chromebooks
Students who are going to Keefe Tech or who are moving out of the Framingham Public Schools must return their Chromebook on their last day of school. It is essential that their Chromebook is returned or a bill will be sent to replace it.
Summer Reading
Featured Author: Dhonielle Clayton
FPS is excited to host author Dhonielle Clayton in our middle schools in the fall of 2023. To prepare for her visit, students entering grades 6 and 7 will receive a copy of The Marvellers and students entering grade 8 will receive a copy of The Belles to read over the summer.
Student and Family Guide
Dhonielle Clayton is a New York Times bestselling author and COO of the literary non-profit, We Need Diverse Books, which aims to promote the publication and distribution of books that reflect the lives of all children. Her novels have been selected for several of the American Library Association’s best books lists, and her novel, Belles, was a finalist for a Goodreads Choice award. She is an innovator in the genre of middle grade and young adult fantasy fiction.
Please use the links below to access more information about Summer Reading for students.
Reminder: We do not accept food delivery (such as Door Dash) for students during the school day. Students can bring their own lunches from home or have a hot lunch provided by the cafeteria. Additionally, students are not allowed to walk around the school with Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Energy Drinks, or sugary drinks (large cans of iced tea, soda, etc.). All breakfast brought to school must be eaten in the cafeteria before morning homeroom. Students may have drinks from home during lunch, but please do not send energy drinks. Middle School students do not need energy drinks; it will not help them concentrate on their studies during the school day.
Students now have Student IDs that they should be wearing every day. Please help your child develop a routine of putting their ID in a safe place each afternoon so they remember to bring it to school with them. I put my ID in my school bag when I leave school and then retrieve it from my bag when I return to school the next morning - students can do the same thing with their backpacks. We have been reminding them of this routine each day.
Additionally, students should not be bringing cell phones or air pods/earbuds to school. If they do bring a cell phone or air pods/earbuds to school, they must stay in their backpack or locker once they enter school. If they are used by your child during the school day, they will be held in the office until the end of the day (they will be able to collect them as they are leaving the building for the day).If you need to contact your child, please call the main office (508) 620-4956. If your child needs to contact you, they may come to the main office to text or call you from there.
The no phone policy is for the safety of all of our students and to preserve the learning environment of our school. Students who are distracted by their phones during the day, are not focused on their education. If your child's phone becomes a problem, we will request a meeting with the caregivers to discuss further steps.
