Franklin Focus
Week of June 7-11, 2021
|
|
It is hard to believe, but we have reached the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Where does the time go? It seems that just yesterday we were establishing cohorts for our Hybrid Model, yet here we sit in the final week of the school year. Much like the end of the previous year, this school year challenged us in ways we never expected, it pushed us beyond our comfort zone, it tested our strength and resilience, and it proved to us that we are stronger than we thought! I am so proud of how the entire Franklin community has continued to THRIVE in these challenging times.
As we embark on the summer break, I encourage you all to stay healthy, stay positive, stay strong, and continue to do your very best every day and in every way! On behalf of the entire FES faculty and staff, I wish you all a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you again in August when we open the 2021-22 school year as a large elementary school! Enjoy the summer, my friends.

Grade 5 Graduation Ceremony |

We will conduct a Grade 5 Graduation Ceremony (internally only; no visitors/audience) on Friday, June 11 beginning at 9:30 a.m. Please use this link below to watch this ceremony remotely. To successfully view this live event, you may use a desktop computer or a laptop. If you’re using a mobile device, consider installing the Microsoft Teams app.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the student body (and staff) will line the hallways for our traditional “clap out” as the Grade 5 students head outside for some additional on-site outdoor activities. Again, this will be facilitated by FES staff as we are not permitted to have visitors.

Elementary Band/Orchestra Registration
Elementary students have the exciting opportunity to begin instruction on a band (rising 4th or 5th Grader) or orchestra (rising 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grader) instrument next school year. This is the first step of a student’s participation in one of Western Pennsylvania’s most award-winning music programs with a proud legacy of generations of students learning to make music.
You can find more information about Elementary Band & Orchestra as well as register your child for Band or Orchestra next school year at these links:
If your child will be a returning band/orchestra student, they DO NOT need to re-register for next school year.
