Franklin Latest News

Report cards will be going home Monday. Please review your child’s report card, sign the cover sheet, and have your student return the signed form to their 1st hour teacher.
Important: Signed report card cover sheets must be returned for students to be eligible to attend the Valentine’s Dance.

We continue to see concerns during morning drop-off. Families are reminded that it is imperative to follow our established arrival procedures. Do not pull into the lot where our special education buses unload. Despite cones being clearly placed, vehicles are still disregarding them and driving into or around the cones, creating unsafe conditions. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe.

Congratulations to all of our students who presented at National History Day. Your hard work and dedication truly shined!We also wish the best of luck to the students who will be representing Franklin in the upcoming District Spelling Bee. We are so proud of you!

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Pringle
