School Plan for Shared Student Achievement

What is it?

How is it revised?

Who is it for?

Franklinton Middle School is a school-wide Title I School so all students are encouraged to fully participate in school opportunities that are described in this plan. The school will attempt to provide necessary accommodations to allow for opportunities from all families in regard to the Parent and Family Engagement Policy, school-parent compact, and the school/family engagement budget.

Where is it available?

Franklinton Middle actively seeks to make the Parent and Family Engagement Plan readily available to all students and families throughout the school year. The plan is posted on the school website where it is available for all stakeholders. FCS also has a district policy that is posted on our FCS website. The home-school compact is sent home with students at the beginning of each school year. The PFE policy is also available during each Open House and scheduled parent meetings. It is also available upon request.

Let's Get Together!

Our School will host the following events to build capacity for strong parental involvement. Our goal is to support a partnership among the school, parents, and the community to improve student academic achievement.

Strategic Plan 2020-2025

This guiding document, Blueprint 2025, is provided as a high-level overview of the district’s plan. In addition, we have provided a breakdown of strategies by goal.

Due to the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, designation of benchmarked measurable outcomes for each year is difficult to establish at this time. The district will use the 2021 spring assessment results as a baseline for yearly targets based upon each goal.

The FMS website, FMS Twitter, and FMS Facebook will be kept up-to-date and informative to maximize communication avenues.
The administration will communicate with parents through a biweekly digital newsletter to keep them informed about what is going on schoolwide as well as upcoming events.
All teachers will communicate with parents through a biweekly digital newsletter to keep them informed about what is going on in the classroom and with the curriculum.
Parents will be invited to participate in all student events that occur throughout the school year.

Check out the FMS website for plenty of information on everything you need to know about athletics, Chromebook help, school information, and more. Call the Main Office for any and all questions regarding immunizations, registration, attendance, academics, athletics, or anything that you don’t see on the website.	Franklinton Middle School believes that parental involvement means the participation of parents in regular two-way and meaningful communication about student academic learning and other school activities. This ensures that parents are full partners in their child’s academic development and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.
