Franklin Latest News
As we approach the end of the school year, we kindly ask for your support in ensuring that all library books are returned to the FMS Library.
Overdue notices were sent home with students on May 2. Please check with your child to see if they received a notice and help them locate and return any outstanding books.
All books are due by May 22nd. Any items not returned within the next few weeks will be marked as lost, and a fine will be added to the student's account to cover the replacement cost. You will receive a letter in the mail after the school year ends to notify you of the outstanding fine.
Returning books on time helps us keep our library collection full and ready for next year’s students. Payments for lost books can be made in the library- a receipt will be issued for all cash payments. Fines can also be made at this link. Please include your student's full name and the book title in the section titled Optional.
Thank you for your continued support in promoting responsibility and a love of reading!

It has come to our attention that some students are creating and engaging with TikTok and Instagram pages containing inappropriate content. These pages include material that can be considered cyberbullying, which is unacceptable and goes against our school’s values and policies.
We want to remind all students and families that participation in these pages whether by creating, following, commenting, or posting can have serious consequences. Any student found to be associated with these pages may face disciplinary action in accordance with the Franklin School Code of Conduct.
To ensure a safe and respectful online environment, we strongly recommend the following:
Students should not follow, comment on, or engage with any inappropriate social media pages.
If your student is currently following or posting on any of these pages, they must disconnect immediately.
Families are encouraged to have conversations with their children about responsible social media use and the impact of cyberbullying.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home. If you have any concerns or need assistance, please contact the school administration.
Thank you for your cooperation.
