Franklin Academy - Pembroke Pines (K-8) Observes Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
Franklin Academy - Pembroke Pines will observe Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day on Friday, February 1, 2019. This year’s theme is Workforce Development for All – dedicated to helping youth understand the force of their service: on their families, on their communities and on the world.
The National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is April 25, 2019, but due to date conflicts with the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) testing periods, the District will celebrate the event before the testing window on February 1, 2019. Neighboring school districts (Miami-Dade and Palm Beach) will also observe the event on February 1, 2019.

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” is a District approved field trip and will not be considered an absence when a completed Parent Authorization Form is submitted by January 30, 2019.
