FMS After-School Programs

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The FMS After School Program will begin on Monday, September 23rd. We are very excited about our after-school program this year! We have many stimulating and unique opportunities and hope your child will find something that interests them. Please see below for some important information in regards to the After-School Program. 

Late Buses: Late buses begin on Monday September 23rd and will be offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and dismiss around 4:45 PM. There are fewer buses and runs, the stop may be different from the normal morning or afternoon stop. 

Clubs/Activities: The first list of activities will be posted on the FMS website, your child’s grade level google classroom and sent out through News You Choose. This list will constantly be updated throughout the year with changes and additions. Please check back often to make sure you are viewing the most recent version. In order to participate, your child must turn in an After-School registration form.

Attendance:  Attendance is taken each day after school for all activities. If your child is absent from school, they are not permitted to return to participate in the after-school program that day. 

Pick-Up:  If you are picking your child up, please utilize the Kiss and Ride area. You do not need to check your child out through the main office. If you are picking them up prior to the conclusion of their activity, please pre-arrange this with them so they know to meet you in the Kiss and Ride area. We do encourage students to stay through to the end of their activity, please avoid early pick up when possible. If you choose to pick your child up instead of them taking a late bus, please arrive promptly at the conclusion of their activity to prevent unnecessary wait time by students or staff. 

Miscellaneous:

- Be sure to discuss your child’s after-school plan with them every day to avoid any confusion in the afternoon.

- Due to the number of students staying after each day, it’s extremely difficult to deliver phone messages to students. Please communicate with your child ahead of time to avoid any potential problems.

- All FCPS and FMS school rules apply during the after-school program. Please remind your child to adhere to this.

Encourage your child to be an active part of the after-school program. Research has shown that there are many benefits to participating and here are just a few…

- Increased academic performance and classroom participation

- Improved homework completion rates

- Improved student behavior

- Better peer relations and emotional adjustment

- Improved student-adult relationships

- Improved school attendance

- Better attitude towards school

- Increased participation in healthy recreational activities

Welcome Franklin Falcons to the 2019-2020 school year!  I am excited to announce the dates for the Parent Teen Book Club.  This program is a great opportunity to communicate with your teenager as he/she moves forward in shaping an identify and in making good choices for the future.  Both the parent and teen read the book before the meeting and come ready to discuss the text.  There are three separate meetings throughout the course of the school year and five different titles are offered at each meeting.  There are also author visits and guest speakers as they relate to a theme associated with a text. 

This school year, there will be three meetings.   The first meeting will occur on October 3, 2019 and will meet at 7:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m.  Registration will open at 3 p.m. on August 29, 2019 and the QR Code for that meeting is above.  The second meeting will occur on January 15, 2020 and the registration will open on November 20, 2019.  The third meeting will occur on April 1, 2020 and sign ups will open on February 27, 2020.   Questions?  Contact Karen Radcliffe at keradcliffe@fcps.edu

Author Visit - Ben Mikaelsen

Welcome Franklin Falcons!  Franklin Middle School is excited to welcome writer Ben Mikaelsen, author of Touching Spirit Bear, next spring on April 1, 2020.  In preparation for this author visit, part of each student’s school supplies are to purchase a copy of Touching Spirit Bear.  When Ben is here in the spring, he will sign personal copies of the students’ books.  If you do not purchase a copy, Franklin Middle School will have copies available for students to borrow during the school year.  Franklin Middle School prides itself on building literacy for all students and we incorporate ten minutes of reading in fifth period two times per week.  Beginning the week of September 23, 2019, students will be reading Touching Spirit Bear.   Prior to beginning work on Touching Spirit Bear, students should have another book to read during fifth period.  Thanks for supporting literacy at Franklin Middle School.    

Best Buddies Interest Meeting

There will be an interest meeting for Best Buddies Monday September 23rd in the first block after school from 2:40 - 3:40.

Summer vacation means more free time for students. FCPS wants to help you support your child this summer when they engage in the online world.  If their device is internet-enabled, please consider the following tips and resources:

Educate yourself and your children.

Digital citizenship is learning process and your child will need sustained support from parents and teachers. Visit bit.ly/fairfaxdigcit for a fun and interactive parent-child course that can help your family start conversations about navigating the online world.

Establish rules and expectations.

Have you thought about the rules you want to establish with your child for setting up accounts and the privacy settings you expect your child to use?  What are your expectations and how will you monitor and mediate your child’s online activities? Not sure where to start? Try these tip sheets, media agreements, and device contracts (translations are located on the FCPS 24-7 Parent View tab).

Enjoy Screens.  Not too much. Mostly Together.

Parents should help kids balance screen time. But parents also play a role in sharing the joy of screens with their kids. Parents can model the use of technology for creation, discovery and connection. Parents can help kids understand and interpret the media the use, when we experience it with them.

Help your child monitor and manage their screen time.

It’s easy to spend hours on a device, especially when it's new.  Use these guidelines and strategies to help your children learn how to monitor and manage their screen time so they will have the ability to find balance when you’re not around.  In the end, remember you are the parent and you make the rules.

Discuss privacy settings and accounts.

Teach your child to protect their personal information and model the use of privacy settings.  Discuss why these settings are important and teach them how to make privacy setting choices for every app and service they use.  This resource can help you get started.  

Give your child action steps.

Discuss potential situations that may arise before they happen and give your child action steps. Do they know what to they can do if cyber bullied, harassed, or if someone sends them something they don’t want to see? Every difficult situation is an opportunity to help prepare them for life beyond your home. These short parent advice videos, which can be filtered by topic and age, can help you identify action steps you can share with your child.  

Teach your child to assess risks and make good choices.

Online communication is public and permanent. Talk with your children regularly and remind them that what they do online can impact future opportunities. Their online reputation can also affect their relationships in the face to face world.

Principals Summer Message

Dear Franklin Families,

It is hard to believe that the school year has already coming to a close.  This year has truly been a whirlwind! As we wrap up,  I would like to a few moments to personally extend a thank you to our incredible school staff who works very hard on a daily basis to guide our children and help them learn and grow. I would also like to thank our PTA board and our parent volunteers for the hours of dedication to help enrich our school and build a sense of community for our students.  To all our parents, I would like to say thank you for trusting us with your children,  and for your investment and support to provide a quality education for our children.

As I reflect on the school year, I am encouraged by many positive things that have happened within our building from PBL project, blended learning, SOL test scores, Capstone project and so much more.

In closing, I am excited about the upcoming school year. On behalf of the staff at Franklin MS, we wish everyone a very happy, healthy and safe summer break.  We will be working this summer to creating the master schedule and planning for a successful 2019-2020 school year. Our outstanding custodial staff and secretaries are making sure the building and all the important behind-the-scenes effects are in top running order and ready for August. We look forward to hearing about all the fun and exciting learning experiences your families have enjoyed over the summer! 

Best to all,

Your Principal,

Mrs. Eisenberg

Naviance Student is the new, mobile accessible experience, and will no longer be named Family Connection. This experience will help students answer the questions that will shape their future.

Naviance Student is easy to use with familiar layouts and workflows and, just like Family Connection, it is accessible to both students and parents. Students will continue to access Naviance Student via their FCPS 24-7 learning site and parents can view their student’s account as it is a part of the FCPS 24-7 Learning: Parent View. 

The Student Learning Plan will be changing its name to align with the Virginia Department of Education and will be referred to as the FCPS Student Academic and Career Plan effective for the 2018-19 school year.  All tasks previously completed within the Student Learning Plan will remain in the student’s Academic and Career Plan which is stored in Naviance Student, formerly known as Family Connection.

After School Program Survey

Below is a link for a quick survey about the Middle School After-School Program. The survey should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey is an important component of the after-school program evaluation and is critical for future funding. The more responses we receive, the more valuable and reliable the data. The responses not only allow us to assess the impact of the after-school program but they help drive program improvement and program quality. This survey has been approved by the FCPS Internal Survey Review Committee.

Over 95% of our students participated in the after-school program this school year, with over 22,000 occurrences of students staying after-school. Thank you for your continued support of the Middle School After-School Program!

All survey responses are due by the last day of school, June 14.

PTA BOARD POSITIONS

There will not be a PTA next year if we do not have anyone volunteer for the board!  We have several board positions that need to be filled for next year. Most importantly - President and Treasurer. Holding a position on the PTA board is seriously THE BEST way to know what is going on in middle school!! You don't need to be a veteran PTA volunteer to be on the board......you just need to have a desire to help our school, our staff, and our students!  All parents of rising 8th graders, please consider stepping up! And, EVERYONE, please share our need with parents of rising FMS 7th graders.

Please email us at membership@franklinmiddleschoolpta.org with any questions.  

We thank you for your willingness to get involved!

Naviance Student is easy to use with familiar layouts and workflows and, just like Family Connection, it is accessible to both students and parents. Students will continue to access Naviance Student via their FCPS 24-7 learning site and parents can view their student’s account as it is a part of the FCPS 24-7 Learning: Parent View. 

The Student Learning Plan will be changing its name to align with the Virginia Department of Education and will be referred to as the FCPS Student Academic and Career Plan effective for the 2018-19 school year.  All tasks previously completed within the Student Learning Plan will remain in the student’s Academic and Career Plan which is stored in Naviance Student, formerly known as Family Connection.

For more information, please review the Academic and Career Plan https://www.fcps.edu/academics/graduation-requirements-and-course-planning/student-learning-plan or the Academic and Career Plan website or watch this YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/IiwZMJuyMtY 

Please review letter requiring Parent Verification by July 10, 2019.  The letter can be found by clicking here.

HS Credit Course Expunge Process

High school credit courses taken in grades 7 and 8 become part of the student’s high school transcript and are included in the calculation of the high school Grade Point Average (GPA) and weighted as such. Virginia state and FCPS regulations permit parents/guardians of a middle school student who has completed a high school credit course to have that course expunged from the student’s record.  

The request to remove a course from the transcript must be made in writing to the middle or high school that the student will attend the following year and prior to the end of the first nine weeks of the school year.  Here is the link to the form that should be submitted to your child’s school counselor.  If you have questions or concerns regarding this, please contact your child’s school counselor.

Online Geometry Honors – Summer Programs for Rising 9th Graders

Rising 9th grade students who are considering taking online Geometry Honors this summer, please be advised, some high schools have closed their face-to-face Algebra 2 Honors courses. Prior to enrolling in summer school math courses, please consult your child’s high school about how this summer program will affect their courses next year and beyond. 

Course Selection Update

At this time, parents are able to see their student’s course selections in Parent Vue. Please review your child's schedule and contact your school counselor for any questions. Please note that June 25th is the deadline to change course requests for next year. A letter will soon be mailed to your home with a copy of the course selections as well as additional remediation or placement courses with an opportunity for parent opt-out.  Staffing is based on students' course requests and therefore, their course selection requires a firm commitment. Students are recommended for placement in intervention courses based on their academic needs. Please contact your child's subject teachers and school counselor for questions regarding intervention courses. 

Student Intention Forms Moving this summer?  If your family plans include relocation, please notify us by completing the Intention Form and send it to our Registrar, Teresa Wyne TWyne@fcps.edu at your earliest convenience.

Reminder About Student Medications

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room.

Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services . A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed. Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian. Part II must be signed and dated by your physician. Over-the-counter medication given for headache, muscle pain, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps and antibiotic or anti-viral medication do not need a physician signature. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form.

Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian. All prescription medication, including physician’s samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or physician. Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time interval for administration.

If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide Mrs. Donna McAllister, at (703)904-5110, or your school public health nurse, Phoebe Zuo, RN, PHN II, at xzuo@fcps.edu
