Franklin Elementary

Franklin Families: Our character trait focus for the month of May is CREATIVITY. Please see the attached family newsletter for more information about what students will be learning.

Our 3rd & 4th graders worked hard on their ISASP tests last week! It's a long test and we're proud of their perseverance! We have a few makeup tests left to do but most of our students have their testing completed. Remember - We still have about a month of school and lots of learning to do!

Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday!

Shout out to our 3rd & 4th graders! They've been giving max effort on the ISASP so far this week! Testing continues through Thursday for 4th grade and Friday for 3rd grade!

Congratulations to Mrs. Griffin! She's the 2024 Franklin March Madness Bracketology winner! She'll get to celebrate her win for a whole year! 🏀🏀

Dental screenings are tomorrow for 2nd & 3rd grade students. Only students who returned the permission form will be screened. If you haven't sent back the permission form and would like your student to be screened, you can send the form back tomorrow or contact the Franklin office first thing in the morning.

3rd & 4th Grade Parents: Reminder that students will be doing ISASP testing this week. 4th grade will start on Monday and 3rd grade will start on Tuesday. Please make sure your student gets good rest and eats a good breakfast so they're ready to do their best. We're excited for our students to show what they've learned this year!

4th grade is taking on some STEM challenges today!

Franklin Families: As most of you know the tornado sirens went off earlier today due to a storm cell that was passing through and some tornado activity south of Boone, moving north. Our students and staff moved quickly and stayed in tornado-ready positions for about 25 minutes until the warning was lifted and the storm cell passed. The sirens went off during 4th grade lunch so we adjusted lunch schedules a little to give everyone enough time to eat. Our students did an amazing job of moving quickly to their tornado areas and they followed directions really well, just like we practice in our drills. Our staff provided comfort and support to any students who were upset until we were able to resume our normal schedule. All students and staff are safe and sound! We will be staying inside this afternoon due to the current tornado watch that's in effect until 6:00 pm.

Come and get your glow on this Thursday! 4:30 - 6:00 at the Franklin gym! As a reminder, this is an event for elementary students and families only. Middle school students are asked to skip the glow stick dance. Hope to see lots of our families there!

3rd & 4th Grade Parents: Please see the attached information about our upcoming ISASP testing. If you know that your student will be absent on the testing dates listed, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan for any needed makeup testing. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y0q6N6b_3Ixq4YhPx4hzqaLy370YNxLWqcVFOu1GRgA/edit?usp=sharing

Eclipse fun! Big thanks to Mr. Z at Ericson Public Library for donating glasses for all of our students and to HyVee for donating glasses for staff!

Our Books for Bikes assembly is on May 20 so there's still time for students to turn in completed certificates for a chance to win a free bike! We'll accept certificates through May 19.

Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday! ❤️💚💪🏻
