Information and News of Interest
Jump Start Open Registration begins July 15 for Rising 7th Grade Students
Franklin Jump Start is a week-long introductory program (August 19 - 23) offering our rising 7th graders the opportunity to boost their literacy and numeracy skills, enjoy structured P.E. activities, and benefit from a “jump start” on the new school year. Students will be provided with a variety of activities to familiarize themselves with the middle school setting, and advanced opportunities to learn the “nuts and bolts” of the middle school experience before Franklin’s doors open in September.
