The Latest from L'Etoile

Dear Franklin Families,

As we end of the semester, we would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for your continued support over the past months. Your dedication, involvement, and commitment to your child's education have been essential in making this semester successful.

Reflecting on both the challenges and achievements, we are truly appreciative of the strong community spirit that defines Franklin Academy. Your engagement in school events, meetings, and various initiatives has had a positive impact on the learning experience for all our students.

As we head into winter break, we hope you enjoy a peaceful and joyful time with your loved ones, filled with relaxation and the warmth of the holiday season.

We wish you a holiday season filled with love, laughter, and happiness. May the new year bring you opportunities for growth and success.

Please note, the school will be closed for winter break from December 21st to January 2nd. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, January 9th, ready for the exciting challenges the new year will bring.

Once again, thank you for being such an important part of our Franklin community. Your support means everything to us, and we eagerly anticipate continuing this journey together in the upcoming semester.

Just a friendly reminder that registration and payment for quarter 3 clubs beginning in January 2025, closes today, 12/20. Late registration/payment will not be accepted. Here is the link: https://fabb7882.wufoo.com/forms/quarter-3-club-registration-mce6aq40x6bvy5/

Wishing you a wonderful winter break and a Happy New Year!

All the Best,

Mrs. L'Etoile

Quarter 3 club registration is now open and closes on Friday, 12/20 (unless a club fills up sooner so don’t wait)! We have a few new clubs available including chess, dance, Disney, coed flag football, Arabic languages, math lab, and IXL. Some of these are offered to middle school students as well so be sure to look them over with your child(ren). Here is the link to register: https://fabb7882.wufoo.com/forms/quarter-3-club-registration-mce6aq40x6bvy5/

Please support us in encouraging your child(ren) to work on IXL in grades 3-8 and Amira in grades K-2. On IXL, have them log in and access their NWEA Study Plan, where they will find specific areas to focus on. It is imperative that students spend time working on these targeted areas to help reinforce and strengthen their skills.

Your cooperation in this effort is greatly appreciated, and we believe it will make a significant difference in your child's academic progress. Thank you for your continued support.
