Temporary Hours of Operation

M-Th 8:00-3:00 and Friday 8:00-12:00

If you plan to visit the school in person then please bring a mask to wear as it is mandatory by the State of Arizona.

Dear Franklin community, it is with a sad heart that we inform you of the passing of one of our former employees-Kathy Allen/Tubbs, a beloved "school nurse", office manager, and a great friend.

We will miss you Kathy!

OOPS!

We made a mistake  in our Junior High math google classroom codes! The 6th grade math code is actually for 8th grade and the 8th grade math code is for 6th grade. The math teacher will be sending out an invitation over the weekend for the correct class.

Thank you for understanding!!

 By request, we are offering free on-site support and learning opportunies for anyone who needs it. Please contact the school to make an appointment. An appointment will be required to come on campus and receive these services. (7/31/2020)

Dear Franklin Families:

It’s almost time to start our 2020-2021 school year!  Enclosed you will find a calendar, classroom supply lists, and a copy of the dress code out of our Student Handbook to help with your clothes shopping. Teachers have updated the classroom supply lists, so please look at them closely.  If you experience any difficulties locating any of the supplies, please do not worry about it as we will provide any supplies that cannot be located. Students will not be sharing supplies during this school year due to the pandemic. Please hold on to your child’s supplies until we are permitted to return to school on campus with students. Once it is verified that we can return to campus then we will make arrangements to drop off your child’s school supplies.

Teachers will be contacting parents via phone call during the week of July 20th to set up meet the teacher appointments for either virtual or in person meetings for the week of July 27th. During your appointment time you will be able to pick up classroom materials for virtual learning. Franklin School will have a limited number of laptops that parents can borrow and will be responsible for during meet the teacher appointments.  However, laptops will be available on a first come basis and only one per household will be available for checkout. If you choose to have a virtual meeting, materials will be emailed and/or your child’s teacher will make arrangements to have you pick up classroom materials at the drop off and pick up location located on the Copperhill side of the school.

However, if you would like to have your child continue with online learning that will be permissible. Attendance, classroom assignments, and homework will be required to be completed on a daily basis and will be graded during online schooling. Finally, we will NOT be offering after school activities this year to allow for  more time to disinfect the campus on a daily basis.
