Franklin Community,
We are looking forward to welcoming you for Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 4th! Please see details below regarding the format and schedule. Please also see messages from our School Board members below.
As I mentioned last week, we are focused on supporting and recognizing positive behavior at Franklin with our Falcons CARE Cards and Behavior Matrix. As part of our behavior expectations, we also ask that students and families review the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities. FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R. Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your school by Monday, September 30.
We hope students have a great long weekend and hope to see many of you next week at Back to School Night!
Sincerely,
Tom DeRusso
Principal

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit FCPS’ Attendance web page for tips and strategies.
