Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, 

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Franklin Elementary School, which serves PreK through 2nd grade for Sterling Public Schools.

We invite you to become an active participant in our school community through volunteering, joining our PTO, attending parent/teacher conferences or attending and supporting school events. Research clearly supports that when parents/guardians participate and are involved in their child’s education, there is a greater likelihood of academic success for the child.

We truly believe that communication is the key to a successful educational experience. Together, we will continue to improve the quality of our school community and provide the best for the children of Franklin Elementary School. Education is a partnership between the school, students, parents/guardians, and community. All children are more successful when we work as a team to achieve educational goals.

It is our goal at Sterling Public School to ensure that all students achieve. To do this we must create a safe, inclusive, and positive environment. We have high expectations for our students both academically and behaviorally. Please help us by supporting these expectations at home.

Most information about our programs and expectations can be found on our website. I hope that you will browse through the site and become familiar with all Franklin has to offer. Our student handbook is now found on our website. This is filled with helpful information about Franklin Schools procedures and policies. If you have any questions feel free to call, stop in the office.

I am proud to be part of the Franklin Elementary team and we are excited to start the school year and make this the best year yet.

Sincerely,

Brooke Dir

Franklin School Principal
