Dear Families,

It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the Interim Principal of Franklin Academy. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such fabulous students, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this schools community for the past three years. I am excited and eager to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.

During the coming weeks, we will have Coffee with Admin in person and through zoom to ensure continued communication with our families. Please be on the lookout for the information. I will continue to work with teachers, staff and parents to support learning opportunities for our students. I will fearlessly lead our school community while focusing on safety, student achievement and character development. I am confident that working together as a team, we can build an excellent foundation to enable students to learn and achieve at their fullest potential. If you ever have a concern or questions, please reach out and contact me Letoile.alison@Franklin-academy.org

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Alison L'Etoile

The Learner Profile strives to build global citizens and lifelong learners, challenging us all to be the best that we can be at home and school. As parents, using this language and terminology in the home can be a powerful way of reinforcing these ten personal attributes.

February IB Learner Profile Attribute: Inquirer

Students who are INQUIRERS are curious about the world. They can conduct research independently. They love learning and discovering new things and will carry this love of learning with them throughout life. How can parents help to develop students who are Inquirers at home?

• Encourage areas of your child’s interest by visiting the library to borrow books that explore these topics.
• Develop an understanding of the Internet. Work with your son or daughter when the Internet is being used and try to instill the understanding that some Internet sites are not reputable.

• Model being an inquirer. Admit when you don’t know the answer to a problem or a question and seek out answers in front of your child.

  
  

IB in Action- Who We Are

Action, the core of student agency, is integral to the PYP learning process and to the program’s overarching outcome of international mindedness. Through taking individual and collective action, students come to understand the responsibilities associated with being internationally minded and to appreciate the benefits of working with others for a shared purpose (IBO).
