Franklin Academy
May 6th, 2018
Principal's Corner
This week Franklin Academy Charter Schools embark on a 4-day journey to become its own school district AdvancED and SACS-CASI.. We will welcome a group of visiting team members to take part in the Engagement Review process.
The goal of accreditation is "to ensure that institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of quality." This goal is accomplished by accrediting agencies who individually examine schools and programs to ensure a minimum educational standard is being met.
We are all well aware of the importance of this visit, not only for the re-accreditation of our Pembroke Pines K-8 Campus and the initial accreditation of the Sunrise campus, but for our high school campus to be allowed to graduate students from an accredited institution.
Next week, I will personally give you an update on how this visit went and what is our status on the System Accreditation.
In the Spotlight: Ms. Horta
When and why did you decide to work in a school? In 2016, my family and I made the choice to make a change and start fresh somewhere new which brought us to the Plantation/Sunrise area. I decided to change career paths as well, which brought me to an interesting opening at Franklin Academy as an Administrative Assistant. Excited. yet nervous, I gladly took the challenge. Fast forward to 2018, I am very happy and glad to have found this amazing school.
What’s the most satisfying part of your job? The most satisfying part of my job is definitely knowing that we all, no matter what job you have at Franklin Academy, can make a difference in a child’s life. Whether it’s giving them just 5 minutes of your time to listen to how their weekend was, or giving them a high five for a job well done, those little things are what makes my job worthwhile to go to everyday.
How do you deal with being an Administrative Assistant and parent at the same time? I must say, I feel very fortunate to be able to work where my daughter goes to school. There is no better feeling knowing that I can be there for her at all times, however I still like to keep it professional at work. My typical day consists of taking her through car-line and giving her a kiss, to sometimes not seeing her until aftercare. Occasionally, I will sneak a hug in during her lunch period.
What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time, I absolutely love going to the beach. I also love to do freelance photography from time to time. You can always check out my Instagram photography page Monieyez to see some of my favorite pictures I have taken. If you know me, you know I am always taking pictures of anything and everything.
