3rd & 4th Grade Families: Just a reminder that our 3rd & 4th grade students will be taking the Iowa state assessment (ISASP) on April 22 - 25. A letter with more information and a testing schedule is attached. Please make sure to let us know of any planned absences on the testing dates so we can get all of our students tested. A small number of our students will be starting ISASP testing next week and teachers should have already reached out to those families. Please contact the Franklin office if you have any questions! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XN5qQQDJNeg2nRm3NUyWU8yCmwdL9gmHO_6oxKb0EsU/edit?usp=sharing

Big thanks to the Iowa Ag Literacy Foundation, Farm Bureau and Nutrene for bringing the Seed Survivors program to Franklin last week! Our 3rd & 4th graders had a great time learning about agriculture and land in our state! Also, big thanks to Mrs. Byriel for coordinating their visit!
2nd & 3rd Grade Families:
Next Monday is our iSmile dental screening day at school. As a reminder, we need active permission from families who would like their student to be screened. A permission slip was sent home in Thursday folders but please contact the office if you need another one. We'll need permission slips returned by Monday morning and we are not able to accept verbal permission.
Wednesday is McTeacher night at McDonald's! This is a fundraiser for our elementary PTO. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
3rd & 4th Grade Parents:
Reminder that our 3rd & 4th graders will be taking the state assessment (ISASP) on April 22-25. Some students with testing accommodations will start the week of April 14 and teachers will communicate that with individual families. This is one opportunity for our students to show off all the great learning they've done up to this point in their school careers and we want to make sure they're ready to do their best work. Please make sure your student gets some extra rest on the night before testing dates and make sure they eat a good breakfast at home or school so they're ready to do their best. We'll send out a more detailed schedule virtually and in Thursday folders next week. If you know of a date between April 14 - April 25 that your student will be absent, please let us know as soon as possible so we have a plan to make sure they're able to get their testing completed. Thanks for your support with our state testing! Our students have worked really hard this year and they're going to be amazing!
3rd Grade Parents:
Reminder that parent art days are next week. Please see the attached schedule for each homeroom. They'll be doing a paper mache project so it might get a little messy! 🙂
Reminder: Today is an early release for professional development. Franklin students will be dismissed at 1:05.
This month, our character trait focus is COURAGE! See the attached document for more information about what students will be learning and how you can support courage at home.
At our assembly on Friday, we wrapped up cooperation month and kicked off courage month! These students were recognized for doing an outstanding job of demonstrating cooperation over the past month!
Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday!
Be bold for our character assembly to kick off COURAGE month by dressing in bright or neon colors!
We had 93.4% of our families attend spring conferences! Thanks to all of our families that attended and for partnering with us in your child's learning!
Lunch Menu Changes!
