Franklin MS Update - Student Schedules and Virtual Orientation

Franklin Families and Students, 

Good Afternoon! We hope this message finds you well. The entire staff at Franklin is excited about the upcoming start to the school year. We can’t wait to connect with our students!

In this message, you will find important information for our students about their class schedules, organizing their links, and our Virtual Student Orientation on Thursday afternoon at 12:00 PM. All of this information will also be posted in our grade-level Google Classrooms. 

Do not hesitate to reach out to the school if there is anything we can do to help you with this process. I can be reached at dpwright@fcps.edu, and our Main Office phone number is 703-904-5100. Our goal is to have all of our students attend the Virtual Student Orientation on Thursday afternoon so we are prepared for a successful first day of school next week. 

Thank you for all of your support!

Sincerely, 

Dustin Wright 

Principal

Email Links and Student Schedule Organizer

All of our students will receive eight emails in their fcpsschools.net GMail account on Wednesday morning between 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM with a link for each of their classes. The links found in these emails are unique to each student and connected to their student account. These emails will be sent directly from the Blackboard Collaborate system, and there is a new feature found in the email system this year that will automatically organize these links into a BBCU folder.

All students need to complete this Student Schedule Organizer so they can keep the links for each of their classes in one convenient place. Please note that students will need to be logged into their fcpsschools.net account in order to open this schedule organizer and the resources below. It will also be posted in your student’s grade-level Google Classroom. The handout and video below will assist our students with this process.
