Hello Franklin Families,

We hope that your weekend is going well. Here are your reminders and updates for this coming week.

Reminders:

1. March Break goes from March 11th to 15th. Please note that there is no school for students during that week.

2. As per the recent School-Day message: For those requiring it, there is a vaccination clinic. Please see School-Day for details on this.

3. A reminder that school begins sharply at 9:20am, and students are supervised starting at 9:05 am. Consider planning ahead to arrive on time as best possible to avoid interruption of lessons being initiated and interrupted. With the warm weather it’s a great opportunity to reset and promote positive routines of waking time, eating and sleep for your growing children.

Updates:

1. Our Kindergarten to grade 2 students had a chance to see the Puppeteers perform this past Thursday. They saw three different puppet presentations where there were demonstrations of caring, sharing, compromising, problem solving and rhyming words.

2. All students will be getting bus safety presentations this coming week.

3. There is a Board meeting this Monday from 7 to 9 pm. Please see the link if you would like to join the meeting. https://www.youtube.com/c/WRDSBVideo/live
