Weekend Backpack Program
We are here to help if your children need food for the weekend!
The Franklin Public Schools have partnered with the Franklin Food Pantry to provide bags of food for students for use over the weekend. All children enrolled in Franklin Public Schools are eligible for the free weekend food bags. The list of students who participate is kept confidential to appropriate school personnel, and the names are not shared with the Franklin Food Pantry.
The bags contain a variety of child-friendly foods, enough for your child to have two breakfasts, two lunches, and two snacks. Some examples include granola bars, cereal, oatmeal, protein shakes, shelf-stable milk, fruit juice, fruit bowls, snacks, rice and pasta.
The bags will be distributed to students in a discreet and caring manner and will fit in their backpack. These bags will be distributed weekly though the end of the school year.
To sign your child up, please contact the school nurses at 508-541-2135 or by email at goulde@franklinps.net or richardsonk@franklinps.net.
Please remember to include your child’s name. No other paperwork is needed.
*All Franklin Public Schools students are eligible*
Nurse's Notes
Late August dates will be forthcoming regarding medication drop-off with our school nurses in the Health Office!
Please note the following:
** All medications, prescription and over-the-counter, must be accompanied by a physician / authorized medical provider's order dated on or after July 1, 2025, and written parent consent.
** A 30-day supply of medication can be accepted by the school nurse. Medications must be delivered by a parent, guardian, or authorized adult.
** District forms (Medication and Allergy Action Plans) can be found on the FPS Website under Health Services at the bottom of the page (Medication Information and Forms). Providers may use their own forms for medication orders.
Physical forms are required for students in grades K, 4, and 7.
Current physical forms for all students are appreciated and can be dropped off, sent in with students, faxed to the nurses at 508-541-2124, or emailed to the school nurses at goulde@franklinps.net or richardsonk@franklinps.net. As always, please reach out to the nurses with any questions or concerns, or if you wish to share information.
