Franklin Elementary School proudly serves a community that is rich in cultural and ethnic diversity. Built in 1931, this colonial style structure is situated on a spacious tree-lined four-acre campus. Franklin School has an enrollment of approximately 500 students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Fourth. The typical class has approximately twenty pupils. The teachers, administration, and staff work in concert to provide an environment that nurtures learning, academic and personal growth, community spirit, and a positive self-image in our students. Each child is encouraged to achieve to his/her fullest potential.
Franklin School has a strong academic curriculum that encourages skill
development in the areas of Language Arts Literacy, Mathematics, Science
and Social Studies. Special area teachers provide instruction in the
areas of Health and Physical Education, Art, Vocal Music, Library
Science, Computers and Spanish on a regular basis. Instrumental music
lessons, band, and orchestra are available to all third and fourth grade
students.
The school’s Title I Targeted Assistance Program and Resource Center
provides small group and individualized instruction for selected
students to help remediate skill deficiencies and improve
self-confidence. The Title I Program features a networked computer lab
that enables the students to work at their own pace and level in a
variety of skill content areas. A supplementary program for academically
gifted and talented students is also available for those students who
meet the district’s established eligibility criteria.
Franklin School offers a summer and after school program (grades two
through four) for students who are in need of additional instructional
time beyond the normal school day.
Franklin School has an active Parent Teacher Association. The PTA works
diligently on behalf of the students and school community. Through their
various fund raising activities, the PTA provides many special assembly
programs and purchases materials and equipment that supplement the
students’ instructional program. In addition, the PTA sponsors a host of
fun-filled family oriented activities including Franklin Fun Day, the
Holiday Music Program and the Spring Arts and Music Festival. Each year,
parents provide hundreds of volunteer hours for the betterment of our
school. Parental involvement is one of Franklin School’s most treasured
resources.
The combination of an outstanding instructional staff, quality programs and services for our students, and an active PTA contribute to making Franklin School a great place to learn and grow.
