Due to the forecasted winter storm and the potential for icy road conditions, all Westfield Public Schools will have a delayed opening tomorrow (Tuesday), January 16, to help safeguard our students and staff during their morning commute. Please check your email or consult the Inclement Weather Procedures page on the district website for the delayed opening schedule.
All Westfield Public Schools and offices are closed on Monday, January 15, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
January 9 was Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Franklin 4th graders in Mrs. Billing's class wrote notes of appreciation to the Westfield Police Department, with two WPD officers paying a special visit to the classroom. One of the officers was a former student of Mrs. Billing!

Recess is a great time to connect with friends and meet new people. Students have fun doing lots of things. 4-square is very popular with the older kids, as is Gaga. Football always has a crowd--in multiple locations. Lots of students play on the playground. Today, one group told me they were playing "imaginary school." Others were hanging out under the trees on this beautiful day!
The Week of Respect!
What a beautiful fall day at Franklin! Students were wearing their grade level t-shirts or Westfield gear to show their community spirit. Food Days also started today so our 4th and 5th grade leaders, "Food Helpers", were delivering lunch to classrooms and the cafeteria.

We are fostering a sense of community and belonging. We want everyone to feel like there is a special place for them in our Franklin community. We started with reading the book, The Big Umbrella. Mrs. Davenport created umbrellas and students wrote kind and inclusive messages. Today, we read the book Strictly No Elephants at our assembly to promote our theme, I Belong, You Belong, We Belong. Next week is the Week of Respect. We've included pictures from September. It's been an amazing first month of school. Thank you to everyone for helping us launch the year!
Reminder: Schools will be closed on Monday, September 25.
