At the core of Fuller Middle School is a sense of pride and unity in our diverse community, where students are innovators and architects of their own learning and future. ~ Fuller's Vision

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.

Individual student's MCAS Reports were mailed out last Friday. You should be receiving them at your home address early this week.
If your child has been scheduled for an academic or SEL intervention class during Academic Advisory, you will receive a letter from your child's intervention teacher in the same envelope as their MCAS report. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher, Assistant Principal, School Counselor, or to me if you have any questions or concerns.

School doors open at 7:55 am. Please do not drop your child off at school before 7:55 am.
Please use the map above to see where student drop off/pickup is located. Please remember to only use the designated area when dropping off or picking up your child; this is for the safety of all of our students. Students should only cross Flagg Drive at the marked crosswalks. If you will be dropping off or picking up your child, please follow the traffic pattern. For the safety of all students, vehicles are not allowed in the circle in front of the school from 7:30 - 8:15 and 2:00 - 3:00. This is to allow the buses to safely drop off and pick up students. Students will be dropped off and picked up in the large parking lot nearest to the fields. Staff members will be present to assist students.
|
We are asking anyone dropping off or picking up a student at Fuller MS to only make a right turn into the parking lot and a right turn out of the parking lot. We are hoping this will help with traffic picking up/dropping off at McCarthy.
Remember, you can only pick up and drop off your child(ren) in the main Fuller parking lot.

We have ordered school supplies for all students at Fuller Middle School. Families do not need to purchase school supplies for their children who attend Framingham Public Schools. Teachers will not send a supply list out to families.
|
|
|
|
6th grade and new students will receive their newly assigned Chromebooks on the first day of school through their homeroom teachers. 7th and 8th grade students who previously attended any Framingham Public School must bring their fully charged Chromebook to school on the first day. Once a Chromebook is assigned to a student, the Chromebook is their responsibility throughout secondary school (grades 6-12). Students are expected to be responsible for their Chromebook, to bring their Chromebook to school fully charged every day, and to bring their Chromebook to the school office if their Chromebook is not working properly (we will have it fixed and give a loaner to the student while it is being repaired).
We have a very limited supply of loaner Chromebooks, so these are only given to students whose Chromebook is being repaired. Middle School students are expected to be responsible for their Chromebooks and to be ready to learn at school every day.

Cell phones can be a major distraction for many of our students. Please speak to your child about making sure they keep their cell phone, smart watch, and earbuds/AirPods silenced in their locker or backpack. Each classroom has a place where students can put their cell phones if they are not able to keep them in their locker or backpack. Cell phones are not allowed to be used in the classrooms, the hallways, or the bathrooms. Additionally, it is prohibited for students to take pictures or videos of anyone (including themselves) in school.
- If a student has their cell phone out or have earbuds/AirPods in during the school day, we will hold the cell phone in the office until the end of the school day.
- If a student continues to struggle with following this expectation, we will require a parent or guardian to pick up the cell phone from the school. The school will notify home.
Please help us keep your child focused on learning by either keeping their cell phone at home or talking to them about putting away their cell phone and earbuds/AirPods during the school day*. If you need to reach your child, please call the main office at 508-620-4956.
If your child needs to reach you, they can come to the main office to call or text you.
*Unless a student is using a cell phone for medical reasons.

1. Since the weather will still be warm when we return to school, we are asking that all students come to school dressed in school appropriate clothing. Fuller is air conditioned, so there should be no reason for students to come to school in beach wear. This includes sunglasses. We are asking for these items to stay at home. Students cannot wear clothing representing alcohol, tobacco products, drugs, or pornography. We understand that there are popular stores selling these items of clothing, but we will need to ask students to change or to turn the item of clothing inside-out if it is worn to school.
2. ID Badges: All students will be given an ID badge attached to a safety lanyard; students must wear their badges at all times and use the lanyard that they are given. If a student's badge or lanyard breaks, they should go to the main office for a replacement.
3. The following items are not allowed during school hours at school without permission:
- Coffee and Caffeinated Drinks: This includes all types of caffeinated beverages such as Monster drinks and Dunkin Donuts/Starbucks.
- We do not accept food deliveries.
Cell phones, Airpods, and smart watches are not allowed during school hours. If students bring these items to school, they will need to be put away in lockers or backpacks before entering the school.
Electronic games or devices, laser pens or pointers, cameras, video cameras. (Taking pictures or videos of students and staff is not permitted in school or on buses.)
Pokemon cards or other trading cards
Skateboards/sneakers with built-in wheels.
3. Bringing the following items could result in a suspension or expulsion, and in some cases will be reported to the police and/or fire department.
Squirt guns, water guns, air guns, cap guns, etc. - anything that looks like a gun is not allowed in school.
Lighters, matches or lighting devices, alcohol, illegal drugs, counterfeit drugs, drug paraphernalia, tobacco (chewing or smoking, such as cigarettes and vaping devices).
Weapons, knives (including pocket or utility knives), fireworks, stink bombs.
Other devices that may create a disruption or potentially be a safety risk (i.e. shock delivering devices).

|
Free breakfast and lunch is available for all students this year. Students will use their ID card when going through the cafeteria line. Students will be expected to wear their ID cards on their lanyard during the school day.
