Dear BFCCPS Community,

On behalf of all of the faculty and staff at BFCCPS, I want to share that we are all so incredibly happy to have students back in the building after a long summer getting ready!

We are all getting used to the our building layout and various new school technologies. Students are sampling (and enjoying!) our new breakfast and lunch offerings, attending special classes such as physical education, library tech, STEAM and music. We've had beautiful weather for enjoying the new playgrounds at recess! Everyone is meeting new friends and the students seem to be feeling a little more at home each day. You can find some highlights of the week in this album.

We've had some hiccups with dismissal to ensure that cars don't block access to the bus arrival area (and vice versa) and unfortunately yesterday our public address system went down during bus dismissal. Technicians have rectified that problem and we should be ready to go today! We thank you for your continued patience and assure you that things will normalize soon and that thereafter dismissal times will get a little faster. Please ensure that you are using School Dismissal Manger to provide us with accurate dismissal information for your child should you have any change to your planned dismissal method.
I'd like to send a very special thank you to Mr. Tappin and Mr. Cimmino from the Benjamin Franklin Educational Foundation. I can assure you that this beautiful building that is now our home would not have been built without their unwavering dedication to our expansion project over the last six years.

Mr. Tappin and Mr. Cimmino have completed their service on the BFEF and will be stepping down from the board in the coming weeks. I'm so glad that they could join us on the first day of school to see the results of their service to our school community.

We wish you all a wonderful weekend and look forward to our first full week of school starting on Monday.

With gratitude,


Mrs Zolnowski

Arrival/Dismissal:
Please review the posted Arrival/Dismissal page on our website for driving directions to 500 Financial Park as well as important details regarding the flow of traffic at both arrival and dismissal.

Please note that the gated entrance to Financial Park off of Grove Street is not accessible to parents and staff . This is a condition of our agreement with the Town of Franklin in order to protect access to the Franklin town wells and drinking water. BFCCPS staff is on duty to open the gate for school buses; parents and faculty will not be permitted access for any reason. All parent and staff traffic must enter and exit via the main entrance to the complex at 431 Washington Street in Franklin.

As you enter our property please stay to the right alongside the curb so that bus traffic can pass by if necessary.

As a reminder, dogs are not permitted on the premises during arrival, dismissal or at school events.
