A Message Regarding Testing:

We know that everyone is looking forward to Spring Break, but we also need to mark our calendars for Testing Tuesdays in April.

During the month of April, we will be taking important state tests on Tuesdays. We need you here, on time, and ready to give your 100% best! Our goal is to have 100% of our students here every Tuesday and to raise our scores by 10%!

We can do it! Let's show the rest of the middle schools and our community our Hornet PRIDE and POWER!

Important Reminder: Student Safety & Prohibited Items

We would like to remind families that students are not permitted to bring toys, stuffed animals, or blankets to school, as they are distracting to the educational process. In addition, to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, we want to remind families that students are not permitted to sell or distribute any items at school, including food, snacks, drinks, candy, or other goods.

Introducing: Pay Online!

As we proceed through the school year, we wanted to remind Franklin Families that the end of year activities are coming up fast! If your student is interested in anything from the 8th Grade Bundle (see above for more info), please make sure you are making payments towards these events. This helps us understand how many tickets to purchase, how many busses we'll need, how many t-shirts to order, etc.

Good Afternoon Franklin Families,

We are still collecting signed report card cover sheets. Submission of a signed cover sheet is required for students to attend the upcoming Valentine’s Dance.

Good Afternoon Franklin Families,

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
