The Roadrunner
Ben Franklin Elementary School
September 2019
Dear Families,
It has been wonderful having our students back the past couple of weeks. The teachers have worked hard teaching the expectations for the hallway, lunchroom, and bathrooms. Our Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports team kicked off the year by introducing our "Be the One" theme. Students are encouraged to "Be the One" to make Ben Franklin a great place to be. Ask your child how he/she plans to "Be the One". By the end of the month, we will have our Be the One statements posted in the foyer. Please stop by to see it! This week the students are learning about the expectations for arrival and dismissal. I have attached the Morning Reading options again for our families to review. Children are expected to enter the building at the designated locations and times, then go straight to where they belong. We appreciate your support.
Morning Arrival Times:
*Students eating breakfast at school arrive between 7:40 am-8:20 am. Students should not be dropped off at school before 7:40 am.
*Students joining us for reading arrive between 8:00 am-8:20 am.
*The first bell is at 8:20 am.
*Dismissal is at 3:00 pm. Please review the turn lane guidelines, posted below.
Having great attendance is important to us at Ben Franklin. Thank you for making your child's education a priority by arriving at school on time. We enjoy greeting every student in the morning!
Sincerely,
Leslie Bjelde
