A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Including today, we have 10 regular school days left before final exams and the end of the first semester. I can assure you that these days will fly by. I can also assure you that your student can and should enjoy their break. There likely will be projects, tests, homework, and other things for our students to work on. There also likely will be family, friends, and traditions. I wish you and yours a restful, festive, and rejuvenating New Year!
With Saber Pride,
Mr. Vuolo

POWERSCHOOL APP NEEDS UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL
Aside from parents and students being able to access PowerSchool (our student information system) on the web here, there is also a PowerSchool Mobile app. We were made aware by PowerSchool late last week that as of Wednesday, December 6th, if parents or students currently have the PowerSchool Mobile app on your device that you should completely uninstall and delete the app and reinstall the app fresh from the iOS App Store for iPhone/iPad (here) or Android Store (here). The reason for this reinstall is due to an upgrade of systems behind the scenes that makes the older version of the app incompatible. When signing in to the app fresh, you will be prompted for our school district’s code which is SHWH.
REGISTRATION FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IS NOW OPEN!
Registration opened at noon on Monday, December 5th for the 2023-24 school year on our website here. Registration is for any new families to Franklin or new students looking to register for next year in 4K, 5K or up through 12th grade. If you have any friends or family in Franklin that plan to have children attend Franklin Public Schools next year, please pass this information along to them! Registering early helps to get all information in our system for planned communications.
Please note that any student that is already attending Franklin Public Schools DOES NOT need to register for next school year as a new student. All parents/guardians will be required to review your student’s data during our summer Back-To-School Online Check-In process. Any family who knows a student will not be returning for the next school year should notify your school’s main office staff.
