The Franklin Flyer Newsletter

Weaving science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics into daily instruction using hands on learning and exploration! Our vision: All students grow to become critical thinkers, problem solvers and confident global citizens who positively impact our world. Franklin Elementary STEAM Magnet-Home of Innovators, Scholars and Leaders!

In response to rising temperatures, Franklin Elementary is implementing a Heat Advisory Plan to ensure the safety and comfort of our students.

When the temperature exceeds 85°F, the following procedures will be in place:

Indoor Recess & PE

• Morning Recess: Teachers may choose to keep students in their classrooms for morning recess.
• Lunch Recess: All lunch recesses will be held in the auditorium, where students can engage in an indoor activity chosen by lunch supervision staff.
• Physical Education: PE classes will also be held indoors when the temperature rises above 85°F. Coach will adapt lessons to ensure students can stay active in a safe, climate-controlled environment.

Additional Guidelines

• To ensure students stay hydrated throughout the day. Wncourage them to bring water bottles and take frequent water breaks.
• Dress your student(s) in lightweight clothing

By working together, we can make sure our students stay safe and comfortable during hot weather days. Thank you for your flexibility and commitment to student well-being.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher.

We will continue to have a modified assignment. I’ll reach out to coach to see if I can use his room again so we can…

• work on the Cadence March, since that’s a requirement this year.
• work on areas that members have requested extra training on

At the end of the day the squad will still be responsible for lowering and bringing in the flag.
