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.
To better provide for parking and to ensure enough time to navigate the building and meet staff, we encourage FMS families to arrive during the times listed below. Please consider walking or carpooling, if possible.

- 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM A-H
