Visitor Rules

Thank you, Franklin families, for your patience and adherence to our new visitor protocol. As a reminder:

A valid ID must be shown at the front door for entry to the building. There are no alternatives to this protocol. If you do not have a form of ID, you will not be permitted into the building.
It is important to maintain your student's emergency contacts, especially if your student needs to be picked up early. Please visit https://sisweb.resa.net/ParentPortal/ to make any necessary changes.
Students may be picked up early through 2:20pm. There are no early dismissals after 2:20pm.

Appointments will be necessary to speak to staff regarding concerns. Please call the school office at (734) 419-2400 to schedule an appointment.

Thank you for following these district-wide rules.

Important Reminder: Student Safety & Prohibited Items

We would like to remind families that students are not permitted to bring toys, stuffed animals, or blankets to school, as they are distracting to the educational process. In addition, to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, we want to remind families that students are not permitted to sell or distribute any items at school, including food, snacks, drinks, candy, or other goods.

First offense: Items will be confiscated, and a parent/guardian will be contacted to pick up the items.
Second offense: Items will be confiscated, and the student will receive a suspension.

In addition, students must not bring illegal substances or prohibited items to school for the purpose of selling, distributing, or personal use. This includes, but is not limited to, vapes, weed pens, THC products, gummies, or any other controlled substances. Possession, use, or distribution of these items is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Disciplinary consequences will begin with suspension and may escalate to a required disciplinary hearing. Please note that our campus is a drug-free zone, and families may also face citations or legal consequences in accordance with state law.

We also strongly remind students never to accept or consume items from others, especially if the item is not a clearly labeled, store-bought product in its original packaging. For example, students should never take or eat unwrapped or unlabeled candy or food items. This is a critical safety measure.

We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home to help us maintain a safe and healthy school environment for all students.

Tiered System of Support

We use a tiered system of support to address student conflicts, concerns and behavior:

Behavior Coordinators: Mrs. Akerley (6th grade) and Mr. Richmond (7th/8th grade) are the first point of contact.
Positive Behavior Interventionist: Mr. Stockman supports all three grades and oversees our behavior team.
Counselors & Social Workers: For social skills, friendships, or mental health concerns, please reach out to our counselors—Mrs. Thomas (A–K last names) or Ms. Fuqua (L–Z last names). Our social workers, Ms. Davis and Ms. Truesdell, are also available to support students and families.
Academic Concerns: Please email or Dojo your child’s teachers directly. If the concern is unresolved then reach out to administration.
Special Education: For questions related to special education, contact our Teacher Consultant, Mrs. Renae Daniels. She will direct you to the correct person.

Franklin families, it is dark in the mornings and it will only get darker. Please drive slowly and carefully through our parking lot for the safety of our students. In addition, in the morning we have designated areas for parking to drop your student off. Please see the information below:
