A New Assistant Principal at FMS
We would like to share some exciting news with all of you! After an extensive interview process, we are thrilled to announce a new member of the leadership team at our school. It gives us great pleasure to share that Sarah Burrowbridge will be one of our Assistant Principals at Franklin Middle School. During the last year, Sarah has made a big impact at Franklin as our Instructional Coach and we are excited to see her continue that work in a new leadership role within our school family.
This is Ms. Burrowbridge’s 18th year in public education. She has served in a number of leadership capacities throughout her time as an educator including as an Intervention Coordinator and Instructional Coach at the middle school level. Prior to that, she spent 15 years in the classroom with 5th and 6th grade students.
Ms. Burrowbridge is originally from New Jersey. She attended the College of William and Mary as an undergraduate and began her teaching career in Washington D.C. through the DC Teaching Fellows program. She then completed her Masters in Education at American University and a Masters in Education Leadership from George Mason University. Additionally, she is a researcher and published author that is committed to lifelong learning. In her free time, Ms. Burrowbridge loves to spend time with her husband and four children traveling, reading and playing sports.
Please help us in congratulating Sarah Burrowbridge on her new role at Franklin Middle School!
Report Cards
Final Report Cards can be viewed in SIS ParentVue the week of June 13. A copy of your child’s final report card will be mailed home the week of June 13.
Summer Office Hours and New Student Registration
The Franklin MS main office will be open this summer from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Summer office hours will begin on June 21. The office will be closed on Monday, June 20 and Monday, July 4. Please contact Jade Horne with any questions. For new student registration, please complete this form.
Laptops and Chargers
All FCPSOn laptops and chargers are due back to Franklin unless previous arrangements have been made for a student to retain these items over the summer.
All ESY, Young Scholar, and IMAGINE students will keep their laptop and charger. They will return it after their program ends. Additionally, any student who wants to keep their laptop over the summer for educational purposes may do so. A parent or guardian will need to bring the laptop back before the beginning of the next school year to exchange it for one that has been updated and refreshed.
