If your student has tested positive, please email the classroom teacher(s) and let them know that is why they are absent. They are the ones that will need to know for attendance purposes.

Cognia Accreditation
As we are in the preparation stage, we are now working on:
Key Characteristic 1 – Culture of Learning (standards #1-#6)
Standard #1: Leaders cultivate and sustain a culture that demonstrates respect, fairness, equity, and inclusion, and is free of bias.
Standard #2: Learners' well-being is at the heart of the institution's guiding principles such as mission, purpose, and beliefs.
Standard #3: Leaders actively engage stakeholders to support the institution's priorities and guiding principles that promote learners' academic growth and well-being
Standard #4: Learners benefit from a formal structure that fosters positive relationships with peers and adults and peers.
Standard #5: Professional staff members embrace effective collegiality and collaboration in support of learners.
Standard #6: Professional staff members receive the support they need to strengthen their professional practice.
As we continue through this process, I will share the other standards we are reviewing and collecting evidence for to show that we are meeting the standards required for our accreditation.

Service Hours & Fees
Every family are required to complete 8 hours of service for the school year. If you are a returning family and you did not meet that requirement last school year, your student may not be able to participate in sports, field trips, and other activities throughout the school. If you are in this category, you must complete at least 4 hours so that the alert is removed and your student is not affected.
Here is the link to the form to use when completing service hours for a specific teacher:
Fees:
If your student has a fee balance from last year or previous years, please make sure to pay your account. Student's will not be able to do some activities, if they have a fee balance. We can make arrangements and payment plans if needed, but we have to make sure families complete their responsibilities.
Jeans Day
If you missed the Jean's Pass order, you can still purchase a jeans pass individually. For September the Jeans day's are 9/2 and 9/16. These are the only days a student may wear jeans. No ripped jeans, pajamas, or leggings may be worn. Students must wear their Spirit shirt or Polo shirt with the jeans.
Jeans Pass per day at $5 each time
Please remember to make the payment at the time of the order. If you already ordered the jeans pass and did not complete the payment, please go back on the link and make your payment. This is a school fundraiser and the money raised will all go towards the students and special events.

IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Franklin Academy
PYP- Being an IB Parent
The PYP is a curriculum framework that helps to build knowledge, skills, attitudes and conceptual understanding, as well as encouraging students to take action and become lifelong learners. This learning does not stop at school. As a PYP parent, it is imperative to help reinforce the knowledge and skills that your child is learning in the classroom. One way to help support the home-school connection is through the IB Learner Profile.
In September the learner profile attribute is Courageous. How can parents help to develop students who are courageous at home?
Students who are courageous try new things and consider new ideas. They try to solve problems in a lot of ways. They have the bravery to tell people what they think is right. If your child is feeling uneasy about trying something, encourage them to attempt it and then reflect on both whether they liked the activity and how it felt to try something new.
Your child might want to set some short-term goals. Consider activities that make him/her nervous. What are realistic goals for the week? Your child might set a goal to:
- Offer an opinion in class
- Spend one recess with someone they might not usually play with
- Order something different from the lunch menu
- Try an activity they haven’t tried before
