Welcome to Franklin Academy and the 2024-2025 school year! To ensure a smooth transition for you and your family, please review the following important information about campus arrivals and departures, as well as transportation details.

Parents are welcome to drive their students to and from our campus. Franklin Academy utilizes DashPass as our dismissal system to manage pick-up and drop-off traffic. Detailed procedures on the arrival and dismissal processes can be found in the Policies & Procedures section of the website.

Please make sure that you have assigned 'custodial rights' for your child, during the

Registration process in your PowerSchool account. You can also assign those rights in the

Mid-Year Registration form (also accessible in PowerSchool). You will not receive

access to your child's DashPass information without the custodial assignment.

You want to carpool but you don’t know any other Franklin Academy families? Use our FREE carpool matching service to find families that live near you who are also interested in starting up a carpool. Carpooling has both personal and social advantages.

Franklin Academy is pleased to share our FREE carpool matching service.

Easy Steps to follow:

• Sign up for your free account
• Enter your home address in the origin section
• Select the appropriate Franklin Academy campus as your destination
• The site will find potential suitable matches
• Contact your matches and agree to become a carpool and configure your carpool in the DashPass app.

The service is free and completely optional.

If you have added a new student to your DashPass app, you should

log out of the app and then and back in again to to see all of your children.

Once your child has been accepted to Franklin Academy, you may request bus transportation during the online registration process. Transportation is available on a limited basis. Franklin Academy offers transportation for students who live between 2 and 6 miles from the campus. If you live within two miles of the campus, you must provide transportation for your child(ren).

When transportation is assigned, a bus pass will be emailed. Bus passes for registered students will be emailed two weeks before the start of school year. Bus stops are subject to change from year-to-year.

Be sure to PRINT YOUR CHILD'S BUS PASS and have them CARRY it in their BACKPACK

to access Maranata bus school services to and from campus daily.

Without a bus pass your child may be denied access to travel.

Private transportation companies are permitted as a transportation option for families, so long

as the private transportation company follows Franklin’s pick-up & drop-off procedures.
