Students Meet New Stapleton Elementary Principal; Child's View of Framingham's Detours

Framingham School Committee scheduled to meet the night before school opens; on the agenda is discussion of district goals.


1. Framingham School Committee is scheduled to meet tonight at 7 in the King Administration Building on Water Street. On the agenda is a review of district goals.

Framingham Public School students in grades 1-12 return to school Wednesday.
Elementary school students will be spending a minute or two - really just one or two minutes longer - in school this year, to make sure that Framingham complies with the state's mandate of 900 hours of education.

2. On Monday, Framingham students and their parents at Stapleton Elementary School had the chance to meet the school's new principal on the playground. Joseph Smith was the principal at Leeds Elementary in Northampton before Superintendent of Schools Stacy Scott hired him in August. Thanks to Stapleton mom Meredith Wolff for photos from the event.

3. Fuller Middle School is holding an ice cream social today for students (and their families) to meet the school's new principal and vice principal.

4. Do you feel that you have spent most of the summer stuck in road construction traffic or following construction detours?

So did Cameron Norris, who is just 8 years old. Click here to see what he drew while playing with chalk outside.

It made me laugh and it will give you a chuckle! 

His mom Kate said "You know you live in Framingham when even your kid's chalk art has a detour."
