PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to take this time to welcome you and your child to Franklin Elementary.  We are excited and looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year.  Franklin Elementary’s goal is to provide a program that establishes a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where learning is enhanced through a variety of educational opportunities designed to help your child reach their highest potential.  In order to reach this goal, there must be a collaborative effort on the part of students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community.  Franklin Elementary encourages cooperation between the home and school through frequent and timely communication.  Parents are encouraged to contact the school and to attend the scheduled meetings of parents and teachers.


We are using this handbook as a means of communicating between the home and the school.  There are many policies, regulations, and services discussed in these pages.  Please read and keep this handbook readily available throughout the year.  Do not hesitate to call the school if you have any questions or concerns (586-3241).


Sincerely,

J’Nora Anderson
