Franklin MS Weekly Update - August 12

Franklin Families and Students,

Good afternoon. We hope that you had a great week.

The excitement is building for the start of the new school year. We had two community events this week and there are more planned in the days ahead. Our staff members have started returning to FMS full of energy and their classrooms are looking great. 

We have a few opportunities for our students and families next week that we wanted to highlight below.

  • We hosted a Parent and Family Information session earlier this week and the slidedeck that was displayed is available here.
  • We will host Student & Principal Welcome Chats on Wednesday, August 17. This will be an opportunity for students to connect with Dr. Wright and other members of the staff. 7th graders will meet at 11:00 AM and 8th Graders will meet at 12:00 PM. Links for these virtual sessions will be sent out on Wednesday morning and posted on Schoology.
  • The Franklin MS Team will be heading out into the community on the evening of Wednesday, August 17. Please see the information below for details, times, and locations. We hope to see you there!
  • We will host a Franklin Welcome Celebration on the afternoon of Thursday, August 18 from 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM for students and families. This will be a fun event where students will have the opportunity to visit all of their classrooms and meet their new teachers. To better provide for parking and to ensure enough time to navigate the building and meet staff, we encourage FMS families to arrive at the time below according to the first letter of your student’s last name.
