News and Updates From the Office

September 25, 2024

Thank you parents for all your support these past few weeks! It was fun to see so many families come to our Peter Piper Pizza Night, I loved seeing all the big smiles from the students as they were able to interact with each other outside of school. Thank you to all that came! This week we've had a lot of help from parents, from working the Book Fair to providing treats for our teachers...we are so grateful! And of course, we appreciate all your support during Parent Teacher Conferences. Teachers and parents working together is the key to student success! -Principal Merritt

Three Points from Principal Merritt

Mesa Police Partnership

Mesa Police has partnered with Franklin Downtown to build more positive relationships with students and get to know our school. Police have begun to come on campus several times a week to greet our students before school and to participate in activites with them. Our students have enjoyed playing football with police officers and officers have even joined some PE classes. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful partnership with our law enforcement!

Next week will be our last week before Fall Break. We will have early release on Friday, 10/4 at 12:45pm. No School Monday, 10/7 - Friday, 10/11. On Monday, 10/14 teachers will be having a professional in service day with no students on campus. School will resume Tuesday, 10/15.
