Last Chance To Submit Franklin-Randall PTO Grant Applications!
|
|
The Franklin-Randall PTO 2018–2019 grant application process is open now through
November 4th. One of the ways our Parent Teacher Organization encourages creativity and innovation in our community is through financial grants. Once each year we invite all teachers, parents, staff and students to submit ideas for projects that could make a difference to our school community.

It's Almost Glow Time... Join the Fun!!
|
|
There's still time to shine at the Glow Ball! Sign up for a volunteer shift with a friend, and help make Franklin/Randall's annual Glow Ball the best one yet!
- The Glow Ball will take place at Franklin Elementary on Saturday, November 10 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. We need volunteers to help set up, monitor halls, make popcorn, sell tickets and clean up.
- Please sign up to volunteer at http://bit.ly/GBhelp2018. Most shifts are only part of the evening, so everyone has a chance to enjoy the fun with their kids!
- New this year, we invite requests for songs. Please email your favorite group dancing tunes to Katy Hanzlik at katyhanz@gmail.com. You are also welcome to explore this playlist of kids party songs. Some of the music videos show the dance moves that go with the songs. Have fun practicing these dance moves with your loved ones! We cannot wait to celebrate a musical evening together!

Conference With
Advanced Learning Specialist at Franklin
|
|
Franklin Families!
Over the course of the school year, I have been working alongside teachers to provide appropriately challenging learning opportunities for students as the Advanced Learning Specialist. If your child has participated in these opportunities, I will have a letter with an update for you during your conference time with your child’s classroom teacher along with any work samples I may have.
I will be available for drop in conferencing in room 1, on the first floor with the flower window door across from the gym, on Thursday, November 15 from 8:00 am until 7:00 pm. If this time frame does not work for you, but you would like to meet, please let me know and we will do our best to find another time to meet or conference over the phone.
Thank You!

Estimadas familias de Franklin
Soy la maestra especialista en Educación Avanzada y durante el transcurso del año, he estado trabajando junto con los maestros para proveer oportunidades de reto apropiadas para los alumnos. Si su hijo/a ha participado en estas oportunidades, tendré lista para ustedes una carta informativa cuando venga a la conferencia de su hijo/a. Le mostraré también algunos trabajos de su hijo/a.
Estaré disponible en el salón #1, de las 8:00 am a las 7:00 pm., ese día de conferencias, el jueves, 15 de noviembre, por si quieren hablar conmigo o tienen cualquier pregunta respecto al programa. Avísenme si este horario no se les acomoda bien y podemos ponernos de acuerdo para una cita o conferencia telefónica.
¡Gracias!

From Chris in the Franklin Gym:
|
We are rapidly approaching the parent / teacher conferences here at Franklin. I will again have videos of your kids working in the gym, trying to improve their skills. These videos are great to watch
before or after your conference. I will also have them available in the gym.
You will need to have a QR code app downloaded onto your fancy
phone. It is an app that reads those black and white square we now
see all over the place. You can download a QR code reader app for
free from the app store. Once you have it... test it out on the QR code below.
See you soon at Franklin!
