Last week our second grade team, Mrs. Beardslee, Mrs. Lammers, and Mrs. Halloran, along with three second graders shared information about writing at the Franklin School Board Meeting. They did a great job explaining personal narrative and the writing process. Students showed their work and explained choices they made in the editing process. We are very proud of our second grade writers!
Yours in education,

KINDERGARTEN'S "OLD FAVORITES" BOOK PARADE
Take a look at some of the photos of the parade below!
YOUR CHILD’S EMERGENCY CONTACTS
After the lockdown incident at Franklin High School last week, we examined and reviewed how quickly the messages were getting to families after we sent them. The time for messages to move from us to parents during that incident experienced a small lag. After reviewing this with our messaging provider, we learned of a more efficient way to send messages out during emergencies. As Monday came around and FPMS went into lockdown, evacuation and reunification, the district emergency broadcasts that went out not only went to listed parents/guardians, but also to any “emergency contacts” that are associated with your child(ren) as listed in PowerSchool. Sending these as emergency level messages allows for the emails and phone calls to go out quicker through the system.
We share this with you so you understand that there may be times where your emergency contacts will receive information from us in situations like this. Please share this knowledge with your emergency contacts so they are in the know. We always work to identify ourselves as “Franklin Public Schools” when sending messages. If you wish to change your emergency contacts, you can connect with the main office staff at your child’s school.

PICTURE RETAKE DAY
If your child has not had a picture taken already, it will be taken then. Ordering information will be given out at the time of pictures.
If a picture was already taken, but a retake is needed, please let your child's teacher know so your child can be sent for pictures. Please return the original picture package to the photographer at the time of pictures. The same package will be ordered with the new image. New packages will not be received unless the original package is returned.
