Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines K12

Dear Franklin Academy Families,

At Franklin Academy, we believe that excellence begins with the little things. How we show up each morning matters, and our school uniform is more than just a dress code. It is a reflection of readiness, respect, pride, and our commitment to being the best version of ourselves.

When students arrive at school wearing their uniforms properly, they send a powerful message: I am ready to learn. I respect my school. I take pride in being part of the Franklin Academy family.

Our uniform expectations are intentional. Requiring students to wear a belt, tuck in their shirts, and follow our established dress code is not random. These expectations help teach responsibility, attention to detail, self-discipline, and accountability. These are habits that extend far beyond the classroom and prepare our students for success in life.

This school year, we will be placing a renewed emphasis on consistent enforcement of our uniform policy across all grade levels. Our goal is not simply compliance; it is to establish a culture in which students understand that showing up prepared and presenting themselves appropriately are important parts of their personal growth.

We need your partnership. Please help us by ensuring your child leaves home each morning wearing the complete Franklin Academy uniform, including a belt and a properly tucked-in shirt. These small daily habits make a meaningful difference.

As we continue embracing our schoolwide theme of BELIEVE, let's remind our students that believing in themselves also means taking pride in how they show up, how they behave, and how they represent their school.

Thank you for your continued support in maintaining the high standards that make Franklin Academy such a special place. Together, we are building more than good students. We are developing responsible, confident, and respectful young people who are ready to make a difference.

Dear Franklin Academy Families,

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of following our school uniform policy. This year, we will be fully enforcing the uniform expectations across all grade levels, and we kindly ask for your partnership in reinforcing these standards at home.

Please take time to speak with your child about the dress code requirements, which are designed to promote a sense of unity, professionalism, and school pride. A student who comes to school properly dressed is better prepared to learn, minimizes distractions, and reflects the values we strive to uphold as a school community.

Below are a few key reminders from our uniform policy:

• All uniform tops and bottoms must be purchased from our approved uniform vendor, iUniforms, and must include the official school logo.

• Shirts must be tucked in at all times, with midriffs completely covered—even when arms are raised.

• Belts (plain black, brown, or navy) are required for students in grades 2–12.

• Outerwear worn inside the building must have the school logo.

• Shoes must be closed-toe, safe, and school-appropriate (sneakers, loafers, or Mary Jane style).

• PE uniforms must also include the school logo and are required on PE days.

• Hair styles and accessories must not be distracting and are subject to administrative approval.

• Middle and high school students must wear their school-issued ID badges and lanyards daily.

The full policy is available in our website and by clicking THIS LINK, and we encourage you to review it carefully with your child.

Our goal is not only to ensure that students are dressed for success, but also to cultivate a safe, respectful, and distraction-free learning environment for all. We appreciate your cooperation and support as we work together to uphold these standards.

If you have any questions or need support with uniforms, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our school office.

Let’s make it a great year—

Warm regards,

Sergio Delgado

The safety of our students is always our highest priority. As a reminder, students under the age of 18 will not be released from school to an Uber, Lyft, or any other rideshare service unless an authorized emergency contact is physically present in the vehicle to receive the student.

This procedure is in place to help ensure that every student is released safely and only to individuals authorized by the parent or guardian. While Uber offers a limited Uber for Teens program in some locations, standard Uber policies do not allow unaccompanied riders under the age of 18, and drivers may refuse or cancel rides if they determine the rider is a minor.

If your child needs an alternate method of transportation, please make arrangements with an approved emergency contact listed in your child's records. That individual must be present to receive the student from school.

We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work together to maintain a safe and secure dismissal process for every student. Thank you for helping us put student safety first.

Franklin Academy follows a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, which allows students to use their personal laptops for instructional purposes while on campus. To ensure responsible use and proper access to our network, families are required to complete the BYOD agreement. Students must keep a copy of the completed document with them until our IT team sets up their device. Please find the link to the document below and submit it at your earliest convenience.

As a reminder, student drivers MUST complete the 2026-2027 Student Parking Application in order to be able to drive on campus.

The parking application requires the signatures of the student, parent or guardian, and vehicle owner. If the parent or guardian is also the vehicle owner, they must sign in both places. We will also need copies of the registration and insurance.

We do not consider an application complete without all the required items. Please submit all required documents to the Director of School Operations, Mr. Carnaggie.

Seniors ONLY you may decorate your parking CURB for FREE! Please see the last page of the 2026-2027 Parking Lot Application for specific information. Please submit your sketch for approval by August 23rd, 2026, our Senior Parking Lot painting will occur on August 30th from 8:00AM-12:00PM.

Until 1:55 PM

Dear Franklin,

This is a friendly reminder that early dismissal for students is permitted every school day only until 1:55 PM. After this time, we cannot accommodate early sign-outs, as our staff and students are transitioning into dismissal procedures for the day.

We ask that you plan accordingly if your child has an appointment or needs to leave school early. Dismissing students after 1:55 PM creates disruptions to the end-of-day routines and compromises the safety and efficiency of our dismissal process.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and orderly school environment.

Franklin Families,

We want to keep everyone informed, as safety remains our top priority. Recently, we’ve noticed several high school students exiting through the single-point entry or bus loop during dismissal and then attempting to re-enter campus for activities such as practice, committee meetings, tutoring, or Sibling Link.

Please note that once a student exits through the gate, re-entry is not permitted for safety reasons. Any student who opens the gate for others or attempts to re-enter will face disciplinary consequences.

We strongly encourage our high school students to plan ahead each day and be mindful of their schedules to ensure they remain on campus if they have after-school commitments.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and secure campus for everyone.
