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.

Franklin Middle School aims to provide a positive and safe environment for students attending after-school athletic events. To ensure that all attendees can enjoy these events respectfully, we ask both students and parents/guardians to read, understand, and agree to the guidelines below. Failure to adhere to these expectations will result in removal from the event and potential suspension from attending future games for the remainder of the season. Students will not be allowed to attend home games until they have a signed contract on file with a parent signature. Paper copies were provided to students and additional copies are in the main office.
