Additionally, we will be hosting an information session on the new schedule for students and parents on Thursday, May 4th at 6:00 in the high school cafeteria.
A reminder that we are having Career Day today at the high school and we will be having a Black Hawk helicopter landing in our field as part of the activities for the day.

This means school arrival and start times will be 2 hours later than usual, and the bus arrival times will be two hours later than usual. Please Note - Breakfast will not be served.

Good Afternoon Franklin Families,
At 10:30 am this morning, students at the Franklin Middle School made the building administration aware of a threat written on a bathroom wall in the school. Police were called on site immediately and the building was put into a "clear hallway" so that the building could be thoroughly searched by the Police Department. During that time, academic activity continued, but students remained in their classrooms. The search was conducted and the building was cleared at 1:45 pm so that students could resume their end of the day activities. Numerous interviews were held and the person responsible was identified.
We would like to thank the Franklin Police Department, Middle School Staff, and the Students for their cooperation during this incident.
Please help us by reminding your children that if they see something or hear something that isn't safe, that they say something to a trusted adult. By working together we can continue to keep our schools safe.
Sincerely,
Jule Finley, Office of the Superintendent

FMS Families- Get ready for the reading challenge!
Good Morning Franklin Families,
I hope you are enjoying the snow day today. I am reaching out to you to discuss an article about Franklin in the Concord Monitor this morning that some of you may have seen.
On Monday, the School Board passed a resolution urging lawmakers to address the well documented unfair funding formula in the state of New Hampshire that has hurt districts like Franklin for decades. The article is accurate regarding the resolution but the picture and caption accompanying the article are old and reflect a situation in the past. We are not facing any layoffs this year and I expect the Board to pass the budget at their meeting on March 20th.
It is difficult to predict the future in regards to funding but we know that our ESSER funds will expire in September of 2024, however we are seeing some encouraging signs from the Governor regarding funding changes in the next biennium.
I hope this clarifies our situation for you as we continue through the budget process for this year. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dan LeGallo
