Franklin Academy Friday News

Principal Update

Greetings Franklin Families!

I would like to take a moment and thank our amazing parents for all their assistance as we navigate the new year. While we are still making tweaks and changes, we are off to a great start.

Uniform Updates: While we are aware that some students are still waiting on delivery of their school uniforms, we do ask that students in grades 6th, 7th, 8th produce a copy of their iUniform order if out of uniforms. Please place a copy of the uniform receipt in your child's backpack. Uniforms checks have begun. Additionally, students out of uniform while waiting for iUniforms must be dressed appropriately.

Drop-off: Our drop-off in the morning is going really well. We are in need of parent volunteers to assist in opening the car doors for our youngest learners. Also, please remind your child(ren) to be ready to open their car door, exit the vehicle when the car comes to a complete stop at the unloading area of the sidewalk.

MYP ID/Lanyards: Your MYP scholar was issued a school ID and lanyard. This must be worn everyday as part of their uniform. If your child does not have their ID, our staff will print a new ID and your PowerSchool account will be charged a $10.00 replacement fee. Please remind your child each day.

Tardy: Please be advised that your scholar is marked tardy if they are not in their seat by 7:45 (PYP) or 8:45 (MYP).

Have a great long weekend!

Ms. Deborah Torres, M.Ed

Principal
