An Important Message from Mrs. King
**Important Reminder**
Student Item Pick-Ups Are This Week!
Don't forget that student items should be picked up from Forest Park between Tuesday June 2nd and Friday June 5th!
To help spread out our students/parents/guardians for pick up, please come during the time frames listed on the plan based on your last name. We are asking for pick up by last name instead of grade because some families have multiple students at different grade levels.
If the designated time for your family does not work, we totally understand! You can come throughout our pick-up window, we would just like everyone to try to come during their time slot to assist with more efficient lines for all students/parents/guardians.
SUMMER VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM 1st-8th IS RUNNING!
As we have shared over the past few weeks, we have been actively exploring the options for offering a 1st through 8th Grade virtual summer learning program. We are excited to announce that Franklin Public Schools will offer a virtual summer learning program for students entering grades 1-8 in the fall of 2020.
We have developed rich online learning opportunities for your child to engage in during July. If you would like your child to enrich their learning through challenging online opportunities facilitated by our FPS staff, please consider registering your child for the FPS 1st-8th Summer Learning Program. All classes are 45 minutes and include live lessons from the FPS staff member teaching the course. Registration information will be directly emailed to all families on Tuesday, June 2 and registration will be open from Tuesday, June 2 through Monday, June 8 and is not first-come, first-serve.
Please click here to take a look at the 1st-8th Grade Summer Learning Program registration details, courses, descriptions, schedule, and session structure. Please note: Summer School courses are listed for the grade level the student will be entering in the fall of 2020.
