News & Announcements

Welcome to the 2021-22 academic year! We are pleased to offer the first official issue of Paw Prints (Volume 6). Our September edition features “New Faces in New Spaces.” New Kindergarten students entered the freshly renovated Franklin Regional Primary School, thousands of students returned back to school to new classrooms or schools, and children in Grades 3-5 walked through the doors of Franklin Regional Intermediate School for the very first time in the history of our school district. In some cases, teachers shifted to new schools and new staff members were welcomed. Several shifts also occurred within our administrative team. We hope that you enjoy reading through this issue.

The Franklin Regional Board of School Directors will hold a C.O.W. meeting on Monday, September 20, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. and be followed by a Voting meeting. The meetings will be held at the Murrysville Municipal Building located at 4100 Sardis Rd., Murrysville, PA. The Municipality of Murrysville REQUIRES masks INDOORS in its facility.

K-12 Students enrolled in the program, by parent request, will take home a backpack with food in a safe, easy, and discreet manner on the designated Fridays. The students will return the backpacks on Monday morning to be re-filled for the next designated Friday. By meeting basic needs of our children, we hope each child will be better able to focus on learning. EVERY child is eligible. There are no financial requirements. To enroll, a parent should contact their child’s FR counselor at 724-327-5456.

PHEAA's Webinars are back for September to assist with key and timely information on higher education planning.

requiring the wearing of face-covering in all school entities and other child care
settings, effective Tuesday, September 7, 2021. This order applies to anyone entering any Franklin Regional school/facility and will be in place until further notice.
