A Note from the Principal

Parents & Guardians,


We are excited to welcome our Falcons back from Winter Break and resume all of the fun and learning that comes with a new semester! Our second marking period ends on January 17th, with report cards going home on January 24th. Please take a moment to sit with your child and review his/her report card. Here are some questions that might promote meaningful conversation:


  • In what subject areas did you improve?
  • Tell me about the subject you enjoy the most.
  • What are your goals for the next nine weeks?
  • What are you most proud of?


Our students experience improved learning outcomes when we work together to help them set goals, and report cards are a perfect springboard for that conversation!


Take a look at the rest of our newsletter to read about our other upcoming events. Be sure to stay informed about the great things happening on our campus by following us on Twitter (@FranconeElem) or "liking" us on Facebook. We appreciate your partnership!


Melissa Martin
