Franklin Schools SAU #18

Today, we caught a couple of fifth graders voluntarily taking their lunch with Mr. Harrison so they could continue working on their projects. Three students were working on a bridge challenge. One student explained, "We get $12,500 fake dollars to build a bridge that holds the most hot wheels cars. We have to use our resources." Another student continued on a map project she was excited to work on. FMS fifth graders are definitely committed to learning!

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 SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org (603) 266-9833
