REMINDER: Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
https://cc.franklin-academy.org/school-info
I did receive an email from our BSO Traffic Sergeant with concerns that our families were starting to ignore the 2PM line up time for dismissal. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of not lining up early and blocking the turning lanes. BSO has written tickets to many families every month, as they send me the report. Please help us in continuing to be a 'good neighbor' in Cooper City!
Honor Roll Assemblies
Schedule will be posted on our website on Monday, once finalized.

Attention 4th Graders - Boston 2024 Informational Trip
Next year your child will have the opportunity to attend the 5th grade trip to Boston in the summer of 2024! This is an exciting opportunity where they can experience the history of our country as it ties into their 5th grade social studies standards. On February 8th @ 5:30 PM, Ms. Carberry, the trip's group leader, will be hosting an informational meeting in the cafeteria. Your child came home with a flyer. This flyer contains Ms. Carberry's email address, general information about the meeting, and a QR code to register for the meeting. You MUST register for this event prior to the meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Ms. Carberry at carberry.taryn@franklin-academy.org.

International Baccalaureate Corner: January's Learner Profile Attribute - Principled
The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are principled. Students who are principled act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups, and communities. They take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences that accompany them.
FAIRNESS: How can we make sure we are treating others fairly?
INTEGRITY: What are ways we can demonstrate integrity in all we do?
HONESTY: In what ways can I demonstrate honesty in my life?
RESPECT: What does respect look like and sound like?
How can families help to develop students who are principled at home?
~What you do as a family matters: How you treat and respond to your child should come from a knowledgeable, deliberate sense of what you want to accomplish.
~You cannot be too loving. It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love. What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never the result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving a child things in place of love.
~Connect behavior to the concept of character.
~Provide opportunities for your child to make their own decisions, and discuss the consequences of their decisions.
~ Read and tell stories in which the story characters demonstrate making principled decisions
~ Discuss how being principled is life long commitment and well sought after as a characteristic to have
List of books that exemplify the attribute of principled:
