To the parents and children of C. D. Franks Elementary,

Welcome to our school!  I am honored to be a part of a wonderful school.  This year is going to be great.  Some of the activities planned for this year are a visit to the Perot Theatre to watch Suesville, a Behavior Bash every nine weeks as a reward for good behavior, Christmas and Valentine’s Day parties, Spring Fling, and the end of year celebration.  As time approaches for these activities more information will be sent out.

Our school values parents as its best resource.  In this partnership, we will do our best to provide your child a safe and challenging atmosphere in which to learn.  Here are some suggestions to help us provide the best education for your children:

• The tardy bell rings at 7:55 this year.  Please make sure your child is in class by then.  No child should be dropped off before 7:30.

• Make certain your child eats breakfast every morning.  If he/she will be eating at the school, please have him/her here by 7:45.

• The school day ends at 3:10.  Car riders will be released then.  Please allow your child to remain in class until the bell rings.  Instruction is taking place the whole time.

• A full nights rest is important for children. Make sure your child has nine hours of sleep each night.

I look forward to a successful year with you and your child.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the office to schedule an appointment to see me.
