Franklin Elementary School
Mission Statement:
Franklin Elementary School envisions the future challenges and opportunities students will encounter while living and working in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex multicultural society. Therefore, the faculty and staff accept the responsibility to teach all students and provide them with a learning environment that will promote wise decision making and a lifelong desire for learning.
Philosophy:
The philosophy of the Franklin Elementary School staff is that all children have an equal opportunity to develop their individual uniqueness to their fullest potential. The learning materials are tailored to the needs of each child so that he or she can be successful and yet be challenged to develop and learn in all areas of endeavor.
Introduction:
Franklin Elementary is an ultra-modern center of learning for approximately four hundred students grades kindergarten through five. The average class size is twenty-one pupils per teacher.
Our school has a long tradition of educational excellence, dedicated to high standards and quality education. A well-rounded curriculum is provided, including art, music, physical education, speech and hearing classes, and a cross-categorical teacher to coordinate a learning disabilities program. We have a modern media center which is equipped with computers as well as a large selection of library books, supervised by a full-time certified librarian.
Many diverse methods are used in teaching our students: individualization, large and small group instruction, learning center approach, and peer group instruction.
All grades are self-contained classes. all grades are grouped within their own rooms to meet the individual needs of the students.
Franklin School participates in the city-wide spelling bee, besides hosting our own spelling bee, Young Author's Program and Fifth Grade Academic Challenge Bowl.
Individualized classes, Christmas and patriotic plays, girls' and boy's intramural basketball, special choir, patrol, field trips, and fifth grade awards day are extra curricular activities in which the students are involved during the year.
