Payment Methods
We recommend check or money order. This way your funds are assured to be spent at Franklin. Cash sometimes can be easily lost between home and school. This is the best way to handle transactions. Cash is still accepted. Checks should be made out to Franklin Middle School. On the memo line but your child’s first and last name so if we have to track down an order we know how it was paid for.
