A Message from PRINCIPAL FOX...
Please review the district's Code of Conduct with your children, especially the discipline matrix for each grade band. The district has the matrix divided into four bands, only the K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 pertain to our campus. This should be a quarterly review with your children, especially in the middle years.

International Baccalaureate Corner: February's Learner Profile Attribute - Reflective
The IB Learner profile aims to develop learners who are reflective. Those who are reflective give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experiences. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.
IB students and educators have developed an ability to reflect on their learning and to articulate how they learned. They have learned that critical reflection is an important academic and life skill.

Reflection is a key component of IB learning. The learning process is not finished without reflecting on what has been learned! Franklin Academy students even write a reflection when they report their service as action.
When we are REFLECTIVE, we know what we are good at and what we’re not. They try to think about these things, and they make changes where they can. They give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and consider their personal strengths and weaknesses in a constructive manner.
