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
• Poplar Grove Elementary
• Freedom Intermediate

The Franklin Special School District Board of Education approved a temporary mask requirement for all students, staff and visitors to be worn indoors and on buses beginning Monday, August 23. The mask requirement will expire Tuesday, September 21, unless the Board votes to extend it.

Families of 4^th-8^th graders should have found an envelope in your child’s backpack Friday, August 13, that includes your child’s Individual Student Reports from the TCAP tests they took last spring. This state report includes information about your child’s academic performance in all tested subjects.

The 2021 TCAP data reveals a great deal about the perseverance of our students and teachers, despite the many challenges that the global pandemic presented over the past two years. In a year of uncertainty, the Franklin Special School District maintained its long history of outperforming the state in every grade level and subject area. In fact, the district as a whole outperformed the proficiency percentage of the state by double digits in every subject area.

Is your child covered by a high-deductible employer plan? If you have to pay hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in order to meet your deductible, the K-12 Accident insurance plan is an option. It can reimburse you for your child's eligible medical expenses as you continue to work toward meeting the deductible on your employer plan.

As school resumes on August 6, 2021, with a half day, please take a moment to double-check your child's bus stop/time, review the rules and regulations, and download the mobile tracking app.

Mark your calendars for our Back to School Meet & Greets, drop-in events hosted by each school on Wednesday, August 4, from 3:30-6:30 PM.
