Thanks to everyone for being so patient with our crazy schedule the past couple of weeks. We especially appreciate everyone's patience during drop off on our late start days. The drop off loop gets very crowded on those days and it just takes a little longer to get everyone through. Here are a couple quick reminders:
* Please do not park in the drop off/pick up loop. This blocks the flow of traffic and can create an unsafe situation for our students when other parents have to drive around a parked car. If you need to park, please pull into one of the visitor parking spaces.
* As a reminder, we ask all visitors (anyone other than students or staff) to check in at the office before entering the building. Please do not be offended if one of our staff asks you to stop at the office or asks if you need help. This is for the safety of our students and we're hopeful that everyone understands. We get visitors checked in quickly so it shouldn't slow you down too much.
Please make sure to stop by our office and ask if you have any questions about these things. We're looking forward to a great week with a more normal schedule!
Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday! The first ones of 2024 (finally)! 😊
As a reminder, we go outside for recess if the wind chill is above zero. Please send your student to school with appropriate winter weather clothing. We have lots of hats and gloves for students to borrow but we don't have a lot of boots and snow pants to loan. Please reach out to the Franklin office if you need help with winter clothing and we'll do our best to help!
