Students at PSS have been visited this week by the Franklin Fire Department for Fire Prevention Week. The students learned a great deal about fire prevention and safety. The highlight was the "touch a truck" part of the lesson. A big thank you to the members of the Franklin Fire Department for creating a wonderful learning experience for PSS students.

Dear Franklin Families,
Thank you all for your patience as we settled into our routines with the buses and pickup/dropoff the first week of school. :) It is much appreciated.

Good Morning Franklin Families,
Bus # 809 is running late this morning.

Dear Franklin Families,
I am excited to welcome our students to the opening of the 2024-2025 school year this coming Tuesday! Our staff has been working very hard to make sure we are ready to hit the ground running when the students return. :)
A couple of reminders for our opening week.
1. Bus schedules are posted on the district website at www.sau18.org.
2. It usually takes about a week for arrival and dismissal routines to be taught to our students, especially at the elementary school. Please anticipate some bus delays the first week of school as we teach our students the routines.
3. Please be sure the front office and your child's teacher know how they are getting home for the first day of school. It helps to make things move along smoothly.
I can't wait for all the joy, fun and learning to begin next week!
As always please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dan LeGallo

In a culmination of learning during PSS Summer school the teachers and students embraced the spirit of the Olympics! The students used their writing, math, organizational and communication skills to create and host a curb side Parisian cafe. The students and teachers baked and served many yummy French pastries! Patrons paid their bill using Euros. What a great learning experience for PSS students! Well done everyone!






The start of the school year is right around the corner. If you have a student entering kindergarten in September and have not yet finished the registration process in Alma Start please do so as soon as possible. If you need help with this please contact Ms. Fournier at nfournier@gm.sau18.org or 603-934-4144.

Dear Franklin Families,
With the impending hot weather we will be shortening the school schedules starting tomorrow for the remainder of the week.
The elementary school will dismiss students at 11:00 tomorrow through Friday. The middle school will dismiss students at 12:00 tomorrow through Friday. The high school will dismiss students at 12:15 tomorrow through Friday.
I apologize for the inconvenience but do not want students in classrooms in the afternoon when the temperatures reach their peak. I hope the students enjoy the last week of school.
Sincerely,
