Franklin Academy Friday News

Principal Update
Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you in good spirits as we welcome the festive month of December. A key highlight in the coming weeks is state testing. This essential evaluation helps us gauge the progress of our scholars and identify areas of improvement. We are confident that our scholars will approach these assessments with the same determination that they bring to their daily studies.
Please take a moment to review the flyer for important dates for testing. Additionally, quarter 2 ends on Dec. 20th. All missing work must be submitted by Dec. 13th for grading.
Please remind your scholar each day of the expectations outlined in our Parent/Student handbook regarding behavior. We must preserve the learning environment.
Once again, thank you for being an integral member of our school community. Wishing you and your families a joyous holiday season filled with warmth and happiness.
Best Regards,
Ms. Torres
