The Controlled Choice Program is an innovative and nationally recognized school choice and assignment program adopted by the Framingham School Committee in May 1996. Parents make choices after visiting the elementary schools, talking with other elementary parents and school staff and taking into consideration their child's specific needs as well as what each of the schools has to offer. The assignment of incoming kindergartners to each of the nine elementary schools is determined by the rules of the Controlled Choice Program. A lottery is conducted only when the demand for a particular school exceeds the number of spaces there. Click here for documents you are required to bring with you.
All registration is by appointment only.
Call the Parent Information Center at 424-3420 and we will reschedule a time for you. You will meet with a parent advocate who will register your child and discuss the Controlled Choice Program. It usually takes between 20 - 30 minutes to register. No, it isn't necessary. If you need to bring your child, we have toys, books and drawing paper to occupy your child while you're here.
