Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines K12

Dear Franklin Families,

As we begin the second semester, this is a natural moment to pause, refocus, and reset. The first half of the year gave us valuable insight into our students’ strengths, areas for growth, routines, and habits. Now is the time to take that information and intentionally set our students up for success.

Second semester is the moment to “lock in.”

For our students, this means setting clear goals—academic, behavioral, and personal—and committing to consistent effort each day. Success is rarely about one big moment; it is built through daily choices: coming to school prepared, staying engaged in class, completing assignments, asking for help when needed, and believing in themselves even when learning feels challenging.

For families, this is a great opportunity to check in with your child. Ask about their goals for the semester. Review grades together. Talk about routines at home—sleep, organization, and time management all play a critical role in academic success. Small adjustments now can have a powerful impact by the end of the year.

For our school, second semester is about focus and partnership. Our teachers are ready, dedicated to supporting every student, but we know that the strongest outcomes happen when school and home work together with a shared message: learning matters, effort matters, and growth is always possible.

Whether your child is in kindergarten or preparing for graduation, the message is the same—this is the time to lean in, stay focused, and finish the year strong. Together, we can ensure our students are not only successful academically, but confident, motivated, and proud of the progress they make.

Let’s lock in and make the second semester count.

Franklin Families,

I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to send a few reminders about our K–8th carline procedures (3:30–4:00 p.m.) to ensure dismissal remains safe and efficient for everyone.

Please remember there is no parking on either side of 207th Avenue prior to the K–8th dismissal. Pines PD has informed us that they will be issuing tickets for violations.

Please also make sure your DashPass is ready and working properly. As a reminder, DashPass is the only system used to queue and release students. Students should not walk to cars in the parking lot or to a parked car during active carline, as this poses a major safety concern.

We have three lanes for pick-up:

• The North lane (closest to the building) is for K–5th students or K-5th students with a K-5th siblings only. Please ensure your placard is displayed on the passenger-side dashboard so staff can easily see it and assist quickly.
• The two South lanes are for all middle school students and middle or high school students with a K–5th sibling.

Students should remain on the correct side of the carline to avoid crossing back and forth.

We’ve noticed—and have received reports—that some families have been using the K–5th lane all the way to the end before merging into the South lanes. This not only creates a safety hazard but also delays the flow of traffic for families waiting in the proper lane. To address this, we have added cones and dividers at the turn into the South lanes to prevent lane changes and ensure the process runs smoothly. While we can’t cone off and divide the entire parking lot, we ask for your continued support in staying in the correct lane and avoiding merging at any point during carline.

We take great pride in maintaining a safe and efficient carline, and your cooperation helps us continue to provide the best experience for all families and students.

Thank you for your attention to these reminders and for helping us keep dismissal safe and orderly!

Until 1:55 PM

Dear Franklin 'Ohana,

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.

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.
