DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT REGISTRATION

WELCOME TO FRAMINGHAM!                                           A large, colorful heart sculpture with the words 'Welcome to Framingham' inscribed on it.
The enrollment process for Framingham Public Schools is online. 
Applications should only be completed by families who meet the residency requirements.

Important: Our Multilingual Department will review all language exposure and determine whether language proficiency testing is necessary. 
Your child will be required to come for an English proficiency evaluation. The test results will be used to make program recommendations, and testers will discuss the results with parents.
