Good morning Franklin parents/guardians.

I hope your children have enjoyed their week off and that they are eager to return to school tomorrow. As we begin the last third of the school year, the staff and I look forward to guiding your children in this last phase of their current grades.

Here are your weekly reminders and updates.

Reminders:
1. Please remember that if you have children that are ready for Kindergarten, please take the time to register them as getting accurate numbers now will hopefully prevent a September Kindergarten reorganization. Also, if you know families that are moving into the area, remind them to register as soon as possible as well.
