Franconia Falcon Flyer

In compliance with the Pennsylvania School Code (Chapter 16) the district conducts ongoing gifted screening activities using the MAP assessment which is administered three times a year. Screening activities are conducted in grades 4 and 5 using the Fall MAP administration scores, and in grades 2 and 3 using the Winter MAP administration scores. If your child meets the criteria to move to the next round of screening, you will be notified by the school counselor.

The Scholastic Book Fair is continuing today and tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11, and Thursday, November 12 in the library. We could still use some volunteers for both days. If you’re available to lend a hand, please sign up here. Also, check out our Fair's website here.

Don't forget to stop by our "Family Night" tomorrow, November 12, from 4:00-6:00pm in the library.

Thank you and I'll see you at the Fair!

Thank you to all that have supported our Dine and Donates and other fundraisers to start the year, we are able to provide a yummy soup lunch for all of the Franconia elementary teachers during the week of conferences. This is just one way to say THANK YOU for the great work they do with our falcons! While the cost of this meal has been covered, we are still in need of a few hands willing to help out with set up and clean up. Check out this sign up genius to see where you may be able to pitch in. We appreciate any time you may have to offer!

The next Home and School meeting is Monday, November 16, from 7:00-8:00pm. You can join us in person in the school library or virtually. The virtual link will be posted the day of the meeting! We love having parents out to these meetings to hear the latest school news, what the H&S board is planning, and to get your feedback and ideas!

Hey Franconia family, did you hear the news?! The Franconia Falcons Spirit Wear Store is now LIVE! Come check out the latest designs to showcase your falcon spirit! Even Ruby got in on the action! Order yours today and show us how you rep your spirit on our socials!!

Are you getting the SignUpGenius from your Homeroom Parents and H&S? If you're missing out, please check that you are part of Franconia's Membership Toolkit website OR check that your student's information has been updated (especially their teacher) and is correct. Questions? Reach out and we can help!

Another great way to stay connected and updated is through our socials: Franconia Home and School Facebook Page (answer a couple simple questions and join!) and Franconia Elementary Home and School Instagram Page.
