Back to School!

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 17th.  We will have our back to school night on Tuesday, August 16th from 4:00-6:00.  Come meet your teacher!

If you drive your child to school, here is some information that will help.  The following describes the plan in place for drivers who drop off and pick up their child(ren) from school:

• Avenue C will be one-way going west from 8:30-8:45 am, 1:55-2:10 pm (Mondays), and 3:35-3:45 pm (Tuesday-Friday) on school days.  Avenue D will be one-way going east during the same time periods.
• School buses will deliver and pick up students at the west end of the pull over lane on Avenue C (in front of the 4^th grade classrooms).
• There will be no parking in front of the school on Avenue C or in back of the school on the south side of Avenue D. 
• The pull over lane in front of the school, Avenue C, will be for parents to pull over and drop off or pick up their child(ren).  There will be no parking in this lane.  Parents will pull over, children will exit or enter the car on the right side, and parents will continue on their way.  The pull over lane on Avenue D will be for the same purpose.
• Parents or other adults who want to come in to school will need to park in the church parking lots on
  32^nd St
  & Avenue C or on a street other than Avenue C.  The church parking lot is an approximate half block walk to the school.
• There will be no parking in the staff parking lot across from the front of the school.  Having children and adults cross in the middle of the street and walk between cars is not safe.
• All children and adults in the front of the school will be expected to cross the street at the corner of 32^nd and Avenue C.  Safety Patrol is stationed at this corner to assist in safely crossing the street.
• The left hand lane on Avenue C will be a through lane.  There will be no stopping to drop off children on the south side of Avenue C.

Thank you in advance for your willingness to help keep Franklin students safe.
