FES News and Updates:
We hope that you have had a nice start to the summer. Planning for the school year is already underway. Part of this is welcoming the new members of our FES family: Denise Grant - Superintendent; Jennifer Pinto - Principal; Janine Cone - Grade 2 Teacher; & Courtney Majcher - Special Education Teacher. Additionally, to our departing staff members, Heather Basset, Olivia Guadette, Ferdinand Marin, and Jennifer Andrew (One-year leave), we wish you the very best in your future endeavors. We will greatly miss all of you. We also send our warmest wishes to our eighth-grade students and their families as they progress to their next chapter.
Please continue to email FESOffice@franklinschoolct.org regarding new enrollments, FES questions, residency questions, record requests, attendance, tardies, transportation changes, and absences.
Connecticut Governor's Summer Reading Challenge: A Summer Reading Journal is included on this website. Please remind your child to hand in the journal to their homeroom teacher in September to earn a cool treat at the PTO-sponsored Ice Cream Social!
Throughout the summer, we will keep you informed of school updates/news, events, teacher assignments, staff introductions, and other essential information you need to kickstart the 2023-2024 academic year. Our summer office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 8:00 am -12 pm. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.
This will be the final Weekly Update for the 23-24 School Year. Again, I am grateful for the professional relationships, memories with the students, and friendships I developed during my six years here at Franklin Elementary School. I'm sure our paths will cross again, but I will miss my time here with all of you.
Sincerely,
Greg
