  August 21, 2014 Dear Franklin Parents, I am excited to be the incoming principal at Franklin School and look forward to welcoming your children and you in   September.  I know many of you from the Wilson Primary Center, but look forward to meeting new faces as well.  When we open  school in September, our current principal, Dr. Sheila Cole, will still be with us. For the first month of school, she will work with me to make the coming year a great one. Next Wednesday, August 27, we will mail out placement letters informing you of your child’s teacher and changes in drop-off and pick-up pattern, which are a product of our current construction.  As construction proceeds, we have committed ourselves to provide timely and informative updates.  Throughout the year you will receive these updates from me and will also see information on the district website. In the mail, I will be sending your children a brief letter of introduction and also mention construction.  Anticipate that your children will see changes in the building and its surrounding area when they come to us in September.  If you have a chance, be mindful of safety and do not come on […]
