Parmenter Annual Memorial Day Concert

You're invited to our annual Memorial Day Concert on May 22 at 9:30AM as we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The concert will take place in the front loop of Parmenter School, with the main entrance serving as our stage.

Please see the flyer below for details—and if you know a veteran in our Parmenter community who would like to attend, we’d love to welcome them. Reach out with any questions!

Please Drive Nice (your kids are watching)

Arrival & Dismissal Safety Reminder

As always, the safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority. We ask all drivers to follow posted traffic laws, use extra caution during arrival and dismissal, and avoid parking or driving on the wrong side of the road on Wachusett Street. Even in a rush, it’s important that we model safe, respectful behavior in our school zone.

Additionally, please adhere to the “No Left Turn” (from Wachusett Street) signage when entering the front loop during arrival and pick-up. The Franklin Police Department is aware and may take notice — several reminders have already been issued this year.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and respectful for all.
