Franklin Elementary

It's spring conference week! There's still time to sign up for a conference with your student's homeroom teacher if you haven't done that yet. Our goal is to meet with 100% of our families. Please contact the Franklin office if you need assistance in signing up for a conference time.

Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch last Friday!

The following information is for current 4th grade students interested in joining choir, band or orchestra next year at Boone Middle School: 5th grade students can join orchestra, choir, or band at BMS! It is important for current 4th grade students to sign up NOW so you can get your music class on your schedule when you are in 5th grade next year! Once you are signed up, your new music teacher will contact you about instrument nights and other information before school starts in August! Stop and see the middle school music teachers at conferences at Franklin in the STEM room! We'll have our instruments for you to try and help you get signed up for orchestra, choir, or band. Please check out tinyurl.com/bmsmusicsignup24 for more information!
