Welcome to Franklin School

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new students and their families. For our returning students and families “WELCOME BACK”!

At Franklin, we are committed to providing the highest level of education where ALL students can learn and be prepared. Our outstanding staff, wonderful PTA and Governance Council at Franklin is committed to academic excellence and making a positive difference for ALL students. Franklin teachers, staff, students, and parents are committed to working cooperatively to create a safe, secure, and nurturing environment that promotes excellence in academic achievement and character development to empower and meet the diverse needs of all learners.

At Franklin, we maintain high expectations for all students and adults on our campus. Students are expected to act responsibly and always do their best academically, behaviorally, and socially. We encourage our students to seek additional support whenever they have a problem, need assistance or have a concern. Please keep in regular communication with the teachers of your children. As a way to further this communication we will have parent/teacher conferences in November, and two report cards (in February and June). It is important to listen to your child and support him/her by encouraging each child to do his/her best. I encourage parents to attend PTA meetings, where important information is always shared.

Our school rules are carefully designed to protect our students’ best interests and to ensure our students’ success. Students are responsible for knowing the contents of this handbook as it applies to rules and regulations. After reading this handbook, please sign the family agreement sheet and return it to the school. We expect 100% participation.

I look forward to meeting each of you and invite you to come by and say “hello”. My primary goals are the education and safety of our children. Children come first! I encourage constructive suggestions and appreciate comments for the betterment of all. We must all be positive role models for the children and as such we all need to continue to model appropriate dress, talk and respect. In addition, support of academics and life-long learning should continue to be developed.
I wish everyone a wonderful school year at Franklin!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Tara Brown, Principal
