Franklin Parent Teacher Association

Dear Fellow Franklin Parents/Guardians, Welcome back to our returning families.  To our new families, welcome to the Franklin community!  We hope you all enjoyed the fun filled summer days, and it is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to get ready for another exciting and successful school year. With your support, we can continue to make Franklin academically challenging and nurturing for our children. Franklin School is a community based on vibrant parent involvement. Your contribution, whether it is your time, knowledge, or resources make a difference. We personally invite you to become an involved member at Franklin. Thank you for helping in any way you can, and showing your children the importance you place on their education! This year, we have again taken most of our first day packet information online. For your convenience, you can find all these items at www.franklin.smmusd.org/firstdaypackets.  This link will be live August 21, 2012.  Here you find all of the paperwork Franklin needs on file for your child as well as other useful school information.  If you have any questions about the online process, please contact Ann Hoover and Julie Levi at firstdaypackets@gmail.com. We look forward to getting to know your family.  We hope you will join us for our monthly PTA meetings beginning with our meeting on the first day of school Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 8:30am.  Please check our website Calendar for all the upcoming back to school events. We have several ways to stay informed and connected to all Franklin news and current events.  Please remember to read our newsletter, "The Almanack" sent home monthly in your child’s backpack. Please sign up for our weekly eblasts.  There will be a form in the First Day Packets to sign up for the weekly emails.  You may also register online at http://franklinschoolpta.org/. For latest news, calendar, lunch menu, and volunteer information, please visit our Franklin PTA website at franklinschoolpta.org/category/news/. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.  Please know that questions and suggestions are always welcome! Sincerely, Liz Patterson Ziontz & Yi Ellis Franklin PTA Co-Presidents, FranklinPTApresidents@gmail.com
