Franklin Friday News

Franklin Live & Franklin Flex begin September 29th!

For families who selected Franklin Live and Franklin Flex as their instructional model for the next part of the school year, on campus classes begin September 29th. We are excited to start welcoming our students back onto campus and thank you for working with us for yet another smooth transition.

Franklin Live and Franklin Flex Student Supplies

There will be NO shared supplies when students return to the classroom this year.
Please bring all curriculum and supplies for Franklin Live and Franklin Flex students in a plastic bin that is labelled with the student's name and homeroom teacher or MS cohort name/number.
The purpose of the bin is to protect student supplies and belongings from damage by the use of the Electrostatic Disinfectant product.
Please be sure to include extra masks, personal hand sanitizers, and disinfectant wipes for your student to use.

Bring Your Own Device-Franklin Live and Franklin Flex

Students participating in Franklin Live or Franklin Flex are STRONGLY encouraged to have a device for on-campus learning.
All students who bring their own digital device will need a signed BYOD policy on file and will need to have their device added to the school's network by our IT department.THE BYOD Policy is attached below.
If you are unable to send a device with your student to school until our new devices are delivered, please note that the teacher will be able to share their screen with the in-person students via the projector and the whiteboard and therefore provide them with quality direct in-person instruction and assistance
Unfortunately, there will be specific tools that cannot be utilized in a “shared device” concept, such as I-Ready, which would require the student to have their own device. In these specific situations, the team will be making accommodations, either providing paper-based substitutes or delayed assignment times. For instance, if some students are working on iReady during the day, those without a computer available will work on other material during the day and will be expected to complete the iReady work at home where they hopefully have a device.
