January, 2019 Announcements
Parent Calendar & K-5 Specials Schedule
The Character Trait of the month of January is FAIRNESS for our elementary students, and our IB Learner Profile Attribute is OPEN-MINDED for our middle school students.
Nominated students that exhibit the character traits and attributes of the month will be recognized at our ceremony on Thursday January 31, 2018 at 8:45am-9:30am.
Families of students being recognized will be notified by invitation.
Elementary students playing by the rules, taking turns, sharing with others while being open-minded and listening to others are considered to be displaying the character trait of the month, FAIRNESS. These students think of others, making sure not to take advantage of anyone.
MYP students demonstrating the IB Learner Profile OPEN-MINDEDNESS, understand and appreciate their own cultures and personal histories, and are open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and communities. They are accustomed to seeking and evaluating a range of points of view, and are willing to grow from the experience.

NJAHS Induction Ceremony
The National Junior Art Honor Society (NJAHS) was established by the National Art Education Association (NAEA) in 1989 to inspire and recognize students who have demonstrated passion and dedication through their art and community service. Participation in the NJAHS provides students, faculty, school, and community with invaluable benefits—including peer recognition, leadership growth opportunities, college and career preparation, recognition of the art program, and so much more.
In alignment with the NJAHS Constitution, the Franklin Academy NJAHS Chapter identifies our own operating procedures, traditions, and service priorities which highlight the value of the arts as an integral part of our school’s curriculum.
All MYP students that applied for the National Junior Arts Honor Society will be inducted during our very special event ceremony on January 15, 2019 at 6pm.
Our club registration closed in December, and all registered club members will attend our clubs starting on Monday January 14, 2019. The last day for clubs in our 3rd quarter is Friday March 15.
