The joy, energy, warmth, and authenticity Judge O'Leary brought into the room made an immediate connection with our kids. She gave them an opportunity to see the Constitution, our courts, and civic responsibility as something much bigger than a lesson in a Social Studies classroom. She helped them understand what it means to be an active member of a community and the important role each of us plays within it. She entered our school willing not only to share with our students, but also became part of their community for the time she were here. Judge O'Leary's care for our kids was incredibly evident.

Thank you very much for adapting to the Franklin Cell Phone Tracker and staying diligent with it. Please remember that if you are putting a student on there, you are responsible for reaching out to the student's guardians via Dojo (at minimum) to let them know what happened, what step the student is on, and the next disciplinary step. If the phone comes to the main office, please have it labeled.

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!

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.
