SEPTEMBER 25, 2023
Dear Families,
We're looking forward to Thursday and our Lappin' with the Lions fun run event, and really appreciate our PTA for their planning, volunteering, fundraising and support. Lappin' with the Lions is a great way to highlight a healthy, school-wide activity while fundraising for our school. There will be a family cheering section on the south side of the property if you're interested in attending.
Yours in education,
Bridget Mowbray

REMINDER: SPEAK UP SPEAK OUT FORM
#SeeSayDay is September 25th and this is a day where everyone is encouraged and reminded that if you “see something to say something.” We want to remind Franklin Public Schools families of a tool we have to help assist with this if there is something you or your child feels the need to report. The District is part of “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” for threat or incident reporting. Click on this link to view the form. You will notice as you start typing the name of your school, the choices for schools narrows so you can select your school. By selecting your school, this report goes to the principal or local law enforcement when needed. The video below also gives a good overview of how “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” works and is good to review with your family.
Starting with this newsletter, we will have a button at the bottom of all of our newsletters for the Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin form that you can click on for quick access to report incidents if needed. You can also add the Speak Up Speak Out App on your phone for quick reporting by utilizing these links: iOS | Android
FHS ATHLETIC EVENTS REMINDER FOR YOUNGER FANS
As a reminder for our high school athletic events, students from the elementary and middle school attending any FHS athletic events must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/caregiver. Students that come to the event without an accompanying parent/guardian/caregiver will not be admitted to the event. Students who need redirection regarding their behavior at any FHS athletic events will be brought back to their parent/guardian/caregiver. Thank you for helping us do what we can to keep our events enjoyable for all fans and focused on the athletic endeavors of our players.
