MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
3rd, 4th and 5th grade Jaguars have been busy completing their forward tests over the past few weeks. We are coming to the end of the testing window and I could not be more proud of how focused the students have been. If you have a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader at home please share that I am extremely proud of their testing focus and stamina!
As I walk the halls and into classrooms I am seeing more and more Jaguar swag! I love that the students and staff wear their t-shirts with pride. If you have not purchased a t-shirt yet, we do have youth and adult sizes for sale. These sizes are limited as we have not done a specific order but a mass order to get the hype of our new logo out there for people to see!
If you would like to purchase a t-shirt please send a note and payment to school with your child. Youth t-shirts are $8 and adult t-shirts are $10.
Include the following information:
-Student Name
-Teacher Name
-Size
-Payment- exact cash or a check made out to FPS.
*These orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis while sizes last. If we are out of your size we will return your payment.
Have a great week everyone!
Mrs. Bombien
Robinwood PrincipalMAP TESTING GRADES K5 - 5TH
Your son/daughter will be participating in MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessments in math and reading on 5/8/23 - 5/19/23. MAP is an online assessment that Franklin teachers and other professional staff use to determine your child’s achievement levels, academic growth, and other information that can help to improve teaching and learning. The full MAP assessment will be administered again in May of this school year so achievement and growth can be monitored over time. Please ensure that your students are well rested and have a nutritious breakfast.
See schedule below:

MESSAGE FROM MR. BAUER
Parents, for the next few weeks students will be working on improving their manipulative skills of overhand throwing and catching. We will discuss in class teaching cues that go with the physical skill of throwing. Along with that, we will play a variety of throwing activities to give plenty of opportunities to improve. We will discuss that mistakes are a good thing and it's how we learn to improve.
