REGISTRATION FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IS NOW OPEN!
Registration opens 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. This includes students already in Preschool Speech, Early Childhood, and 4K. 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.
WINTER IS SO MUCH FUN!
Help us build a “Winter is Snow Much Fun” display by submitting a photo of your CD student enjoying a winter activity. The photo can be from any age, the only requirement is that they are enjoying winter! Photos must be submitted by 12/16/2022. Click here or the image to the side for all the details!
RECESS GUIDELINES
Wisconsin weather is upon us! Please make sure your son/daughter is dressed appropriately for the cold weather with hats, gloves, scarves, boots and snow pants. Snow pants and boots are required to be worn in order for students to play in the snow. However, this being Wisconsin, it can become warm and sunny by noontime. Please remind your child if they choose to remove their jacket during recess they are to be tied around their waist and not left on the playground.
The decision to have an outdoor or indoor recess is based on both the wind speed and temperature at 11:30 am. All students are required to go outside for recess daily unless the windchill is below zero or it is raining. If it is an outside recess day, all students must go outdoors. Please label your child's coat, hat, boots, & mittens with their name.

STAFF SNACKS
The PTO is introducing a new idea to show staff appreciation on a more frequent basis! Families can sign up to bring in a small treat for teachers and staff on this SignUpGenius link. Snacks can be anything from homemade cookies or bars, bagels, soft drinks, coffee, candy, doughnuts, or anything else you might be thinking of. This does not need to be a meal by any means, just a small way to say we appreciate you! There are two slots available for each week, and you may bring in your treats in the morning when it is convenient for you.
TREASURER IN TRAINING
We are in search of a new PTO treasurer as Katie Delemont has been serving for many, many years and per our by-laws, we need to vote on a new person. If you would be interested in learning more, please contact Leah Palmer or Katie Delemont directly. leahpalmer16@gmail.com
