Greetings Franklin Academy families,
Hope this communication finds you well and everyone has been having a safe and healthy summer!
Please make sure to review the updates below as we host our New Family Orientation and Meet & Greet sessions this coming week.
We are hosting a Job Fair (8/3/24) tomorrow, you might have seen the post on our Franklin Academy and PTO social media accounts...see flyer below and pass it along. Looking forward to meeting with candidates from 9AM-2PM!
Note that our 24-25 Yearbook initial sale has just kicked off, see flyer below.
For all MYP students interested in trying out for any sport, please see flyer below for our Sports Info Family Night.
Last year, with your support and partnership, our students and staff truly grew and excelled in many of their social and academic areas. We recognize and embrace the concept of continuous improvement and will proceed on our path to excellence. Introducing our 24-25 theme which extends from last year's them, 'Flight to Excellence'; "The path to excellence has no end...Go for Gold!"
DashPass Action Item for ALL FAMILIES
Due to summer maintenance, All RETURNING families need open the DashPass app and confirm that you still have your child(ren) linked to your account. For all INCOMING families, please download app and sign into the DashPass app to setup your accounts and confirm that you are linked to their child(ren). (DashPass sent out the invite emails a few days ago.)
If you are NOT LINKED to your child(ren) parents/guardians have TWO options to correct incorrect data:
A registering parent/guardian can email one of our administrative assistants (gonzalez.diana@franklin-academy.org, segura.emeli@franklin-academy.org, gonzalez.nancy@franklin-academy.org, shears.eugenia@franklin-academy.org) and ask for the custody flag to be turned on and an email address added to a contact without an email.
If you are a returning family with a current PowerSchool Portal account, you can login and open the Mid-Year Registration 2024 form and review the contacts listed. From the listing, you can then adjust the information on each contact, add additional contacts or remove outdated ones.
NEW FAMILY ORIENTATION will take place on Wednesday, August 7th at 5PM. If you are a new family at Franklin Academy, please join us for an overview of our campus and daily processes you will need guidance with for a smooth transition! We will cover arrival, dismissal, (DashPass platform) early sign-outs, breakfast/lunch, PowerSchool (our Student Information System), Service Hour Program (Raptor platfom) etc.
Reminders from last week's newsletter...
All final Service Hour reports were sent in the past few days, please check your email and PowerSchool Portal for this communication as well. With a 91% completion of the 23-24 Service Hour requirement, only 53 students have a hold for extracurricular activities on their PowerSchool profile. When FOUR hours have been completed, the Service Hour HOLD will be removed.
*As there was a consolidation process that took place this month with all of our PowerSchool student profiles, if you are having an issue accessing your PowerSchool Portal, please contact Ms. D. Gonzalez, gonzalez.diana@franklin-academy.org for assistance.
For the families that ordered the pre-packaged School Supply Kits, those will be delivered to the shipping address you indicated starting July 29th.
As we prepare our campus and organize our new resources for 24-25, please check out the events coming up in this newsletter and on our website.
