Franklin Public Schools District Newsletter October 2021 Food Services District Calendar School Committee Transportation 21-22 School Calendar Back to School Welcome back! We are excited to have our students engaged in full-time and in-person instruction. Additionally, our teachers have continued to engage in their professional development opportunities and are enjoying connecting with their students. Our Back to School Health and Safety Plan has been essential in ensuring our faculty and staff are able to prioritize student safety and learning. Access the latest information on FPS Health and Safety Practices on our Back to School Website. Franklin Middle Schools Announces Virtual Visiting Author Aisha Saeed Aisha Saeed is a New York Times Best selling author. Her heritage and experience as a second grade teacher help inform her approach to writing. Growing up, Aisha hardly encountered literature that represented different cultures. As an author, Aisha utilizes our human connection to take her readers on an informative and culturally diverse journey. Ms. Saeed's work also allows a window into experiences our students may not otherwise encounter. "As a child, I never saw books featuring children who looked like me as the heroes of their own stories, and it is a moving experience now to have the opportunity to give children the opportunity to see themselves in print." - Aisha Saeed Pick up one of Aisha's books and start prepping for her visit today! Oct. 29 - Stop Drop and Read Day Oct. 29-30 - Book Fair at Barnes and Noble Bellingham Virtual Visits Nov.16 - HMMS Visit Nov.17 ASMS Visit & Evening Family Event Nov.18 RMS Visit Learn more about Aisha's books here! Food Services and Supply Chain Acknowledgement Due to disruptions in the supply chain, Franklin's school nutrition program, like many programs across the state and the nation, are struggling to secure all food and supply items. This is due to product shortages, discontinued items, price increases, distributor cancellations, delayed or cancelled deliveries, and staffing shortages. Our Food Services Department is working very hard to ensure healthy, nutritious, and appealing free school meals are served every school day and they are making adjustments as needed. We appreciate everyone's flexibility and understanding. This Safety Presentation breaks down what FPS is doing to keep our students safe physically, mentally and emotionally.
