Franklin Families, Please see the attached document regarding expectations for Boone High School football games. As a reminder, elementary students are expected to sit with their families or a responsible adult during the game. Students should not be running around the track or under the bleachers for any reason and outside balls will not be allowed into the field. Thanks for helping us make the football game a positive experience for everyone involved and we hope to see lots of our community there to support our football team. Roll 'Dors! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AlpCa4JLV5UuRrVsidIA2io0Z6FdC9I3TNoT-8GKDFU/edit?usp=sharing

Our character trait of the month for September is respect. Classes will be focusing on learning about respect and how to practice it with others. Here's some more information and ideas for things to do at home to help children learn about respect.

We had a successful first week of school! By now, students should be able to tell you our 4 school expectations: Be safe, be respectful, be responsible and be caring. We hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and we're looking forward to seeing all of our students back on Tuesday!

We're excited to welcome Ms. Judas! She's the new PK-2nd grade enrichment teacher. She'll be working at both Franklin and Ledges. Welcome Ms. Judas!

Tonight, our playground is quiet but tomorrow it'll be filled with happy kids. We can't wait to welcome all of those smiling faces back to school for the 2023-2024 school year! It's going to be a great one! #inspirebigger #iloveithere #teamfranklin Photo credit: Mark Gassman (aka Mr. Mark)
