Back to School Information

Dear Benjamin Franklin Parents/Guardians:

Welcome back to the 2025-26 school year! As the first day of school is quickly approaching, I wanted to provide you with some details to help you prepare for the school year. At Ben Franklin School, we believe kindness makes everything better—and brighter!  This year our schoolwide theme is “Let Kindness Color Ben Franklin School.”  This theme is all about building a caring and welcoming school where everyone feels safe, included, and valued.  Just like bright colors make a picture beautiful, kindness makes our school a happier place. With your support at home, we can help our children grow into thoughtful, compassionate people—one kind act at a time!  Our teachers are starting to get back into the building to prepare to welcome all our Raiders back on August 26, 2025.
