MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Last week our 5th Graders went to BigTown and experienced what it was like to have a job. BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. All the students took their “job” very seriously and learned a lot! It is always great to see the students so engaged!

Robinwood PrincipalMAP TESTING GRADES K5 - 5TH
Your son/daughter will be participating in MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessments in math and reading on 5/8/23 - 5/19/23. MAP is an online assessment that Franklin teachers and other professional staff use to determine your child’s achievement levels, academic growth, and other information that can help to improve teaching and learning. The full MAP assessment will be administered again in May of this school year so achievement and growth can be monitored over time. Please ensure that your students are well rested and have a nutritious breakfast.
See schedule below:
