On behalf of the staff and students of Franklin Elementary School,
I want to welcome you to our Web site.
Our PK-6th grade school, nestled on the hillside overlooking Franklin,
is rich in tradition and culture. We have over 300 students and
currently two classes per grade level, with a staff committed to
serving the students of our community.
We feel fortunate to have a highly qualified staff, as well as
a great student body and welcome new staff members and students
to our school. We also appreciate our parent and community involvement
and continue to look forward to working together for the success
of our students.
Upon entering our school, we hope you feel welcome and find our school

located in the center of the rural, scenic community of Franklin,
West Virginia, Pendleton's county seat. The area, known as the Potomac
Highlands, is widely known for its tourist attractions as well as
a great place for trout fishing, hunting and camping. The area is
mainly agricultural with sheep, cattle, and poultry as the main
sources of income. The school is nestled on a hill overlooking the
town with the mountains as a scenic backdrop.

| To the Students at FES |
You are now
a member of one of the best elementary schools in West Virginia. Take
pride in it. It is your home for seven hours a day for this year.
Here are a few ways you can use your school time to the best advantage,
which will help you prepare for the middle and high school and future
years. |
| |
|
|
1. Attend school regularly. Attendance is a key to good grades.
2. Arrive at school on time and arrive at all classes on time. Tardiness
leads to many other problems.
3. Regularly and carefully prepare assignments.
4. Protect school property and equipment. Help students stamp out
vandalism. Respect your school!
5. Support school activities as far as your time, interests and
funds will permit.
6. Respect the rights and privileges of others.
7. Accept the responsibilities that come with citizenship at Franklin
Elementary School.
8. Be a good sport — let your school spirit show through good
sportsmanship at all events. Sportsmanship is the main theme of
the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission and the
main theme of the Pendleton County Elementary Athletic Policy.
9. Be a lady or gentleman at all times.
10. Adhere to all discipline measures at all times.
11. Academically strive to do your best in all content standards.
12. Academically strive to do your best on all state mandated tests
(WESTEST).

| Absences
and Make-up Work |
|
West Virginia State law is very explicit on student absences. Normally,
students may not be absent from school except for personal illness,
death in the family, or extreme hardship. Parents should phone the
school office if a child is going to be absent for an extended period
of time. Arrangements can be made for homework to be sent home,
and in some cases homebound instruction. On returning to school,
if a child's activities are to be restricted, a note from the family
doctor stating the dates of restriction will be required. It is
the student's responsibility following an absence to make the necessary
arrangements with teachers for makeup work. This is modified somewhat
for lower elementary students. Students who are suspected of being
absent without a valid reason, will be referred to the county attendance
officer. All FES students are governed by the Pendleton County School
Board Attendance Policy. A copy of this eleven-page policy will
be sent home with all students.
Truancy is defined as a student staying away or skipping school
without leave. Lunch detention or after school detention will be
assigned if a student is truant.

|
| Early Dismissals |
|
It is understandable that there will be times that
a student must leave school before the end of the regular school
day for doctor's appointments or other urgent family business. Parents
should make a sincere effort not to schedule appointments for their
children during school. However, when this is not possible, students
will have to present a note written and signed by their parent,
explaining why the student should be excused early. The parent should
personally pick the child up from school by reporting to the school
office. No child will be permitted to leave school with anyone other
than the parent unless prior arrangements have been made between
the parent and the school office. NOTE: Unless it is an emergency
or an appointment, parents are asked to leave students in class
until the school day ends.
