Franklin Academy Friday News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are almost halfway through Quarter 3, and we want to remind you to stay engaged with your child's progress. Please log into PowerSchool to check on grades for students in 1st through 8th grade. If you have any concerns or questions about your child's performance, we encourage you to reach out to their teacher directly.

Currently, we are seeing a significant number of middle school students with missing assignments and zeros, which is leading to failing grades. We understand that we are all part of a team in supporting our students, and your involvement is critical to their success. We appreciate your help in addressing any academic concerns.

Additionally, please remember that the Intent to Return process begins on Monday, February 3rd. If you wish to secure your child's seat for the upcoming school year, it is very important to complete this task. We are aiming for 100% completion and would greatly appreciate your cooperation in this effort.

Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend!

Warm regards,

Ms. Torres
