Greetings Franklin Academy families,

Your continued support and partnership are vital to ensuring a successful and safe school year. Together, we will make this year one of growth, achievement, and memorable experiences for all our students. Thank you for being an integral part of the Franklin Academy family.

At Franklin Academy, we hold high expectations for student behavior to ensure a positive and respectful learning environment. The Broward County Code of Student Conduct outlines the standards we expect all students to follow, along with the Administrative Discipline Matrix, which clearly defines the consequences for any rule violations.

It is essential that all families and students familiarize themselves with these guidelines. The Code of Conduct is available electronically on our school website. Please take the time to review it carefully. As part of our commitment to transparency and mutual understanding, all parents/guardians must sign an acknowledgment form each year, confirming their awareness of the Code of Conduct and how to access it online. This acknowledgment form is due by Friday, August 23rd, please print and send with your child to their homeroom/advisory period teacher.

Your cooperation in reviewing and signing this form ensures that we are all working together to uphold the values and standards that make Franklin Academy a safe and supportive environment for all students.

To ensure everyone’s safety and to maintain order during these drills, we kindly ask for your support by following these guidelines:

• Do not come to the school campus.
• Refrain from calling the school offices as they will be occupied with the drill or emergency.
• Avoid contacting students or staff via cell phone or social media; they will be engaged in the drill or emergency.
• Avoid posting on social media. Official information will be shared through our automated system as soon as possible.
• Ensure your contact information is always up to date so you can be reached promptly in an emergency.

Your cooperation is crucial in helping us create a secure and supportive environment for all our students and staff. Thank you for partnering with us in this important effort.

In addition to reviewing the Code of Conduct, there are two mandatory parent/guardian courses this year: Anti-Bullying and Dating Violence Awareness. These courses are crucial in helping us maintain a safe and supportive environment for all students. Completion of these courses is required as part of our commitment to student safety.

FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows students to instantly relay information to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
