FSSD Kindergarten Kickoff is set for April 8 at all FSSD elementary schools. It is a fun opportunity to drop in anytime between 9:00-3:00 (8:00-2:00 at Poplar Grove) with your future kindergartner to hear more about the school, take a tour, turn in registration materials, and sign up for a screening date. Rising kindergartners must be at least 5 years old on or before August 15 to enroll.

We are excited to begin registration for Young Scholars Institute this summer. The Young Scholars Institute consists of two independent week-long camps and will occur June 6-10 and June 13-17 at Freedom Intermediate School, 840 Glass Lane.

Five Franklin Special School District schools have been awarded RTI2-B Model of Demonstration (MOD) schools, as announced January 20, 2022, by the Tennessee Tiered Supports Center (TSC) at Vanderbilt University. 

We are collecting used books from now through February for our annual Used Book Sale. If you are cleaning out shelves and closets during the winter break, please donate any gently used books for our sale.  Donation boxes are in both school lobbies.

The Board of Education voted on November 29 to rescind the mask requirement for students, staff, and visitors. Citing low positive cases in the school and the community, as well as the availability of the vaccine to ages 5 and older, the Board voted unanimously to lift the requirement. Anyone who chooses to wear a mask in the schools or offices is welcome to do so. 

In the release of 2020-2021 accountability data from the Tennessee Department of Education, the Franklin Special School District is proud to have achieved Level 5 status - the highest possible - on its composite score.

With the release of accountability data for the 2020-21 school year, the Franklin Special School District has much success to celebrate. We are proud to announce that more than half of FSSD schools received Reward School status:  

• Franklin Elementary
• Moore Elementary
• Liberty Elementary
