Franklin Academy Friday News

Principal Update

Dear Franklin Families,

As we settle into the new year, it's the perfect time to reinforce the importance of establishing routines at home. Consistent routines play a crucial role in creating a positive and structured environment for our children.

Why Routines Matter:

Stability: Routines provide a sense of stability and predictability for children. Knowing what to expect helps them feel secure and confident.
Time Management: Establishing routines helps in managing time efficiently. From homework to extracurricular activities, a well-organized schedule ensures that everything gets the attention it deserves.
Healthy Habits: Routines promote the development of healthy habits, whether it's bedtime routines, mealtime habits, or regular physical activity.

Parent Academy - Social Media : On Friday, Jan. 17th, The Organization for Social Media Safety will present on how to protect our families form social media-related dangers.

( Presentation is intended for adults only)

Warm regards,

Deborah Torres

Principal
