Good Afternoon Franklin Families,
Below are some important updates from Franklin Middle School. Please feel free to reach out to the school office if you have any questions.
Self-Guided Tour of Franklin MS on August 11 and 12
Franklin students and their families are welcome to visit our school on the afternoons of August 11 and 12 from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. This will be an opportunity to become familiar with the school building and its physical layout by taking part in a QR code scavenger hunt. There will not be a formal presentation or any organized events, but members of the leadership team and other available staff members will be available to assist with navigation and answering general questions. Information about FMS programs, required school forms for completion, and other school-related information will be available during this event.
Franklin MS Student and Family Welcome and Orientation on August 19 from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
We hope that all of our Franklin students and families will be able to join us for this exciting event. Please note that the date of this event has been changed from what was shared earlier in the summer.
This event offers an opportunity for families to familiarize themselves with the building, navigate student schedules, briefly meet and greet teachers and other staff members, connect with other FMS families, and gather school programming information. A school map will be provided digitally using a QR code. Individual teachers may also take the opportunity to provide additional resources to assist families with first day readiness.

Please save the date for our virtual Back to School Night on September 13. More details will be provided in the coming weeks.
