Glow Dance Donations Needed!
We are continuing our tradition of the Mid-Year Diagnostic Growth Glow Dance at the end of February!
We are asking for donations of snap-and-glow BRACELETS ONLY. Last year, our students earned an amazing 3,073 bracelets, and we’re hoping to beat that number this year!
The more growth students show, the more bracelets they receive!
Please drop off donations in the front office anytime between now and February 20th.

Thank you for helping us celebrate student growth in a bright and fun way! 💛💙

Good afternoon Franklin Elementary Staff and Families,

Our Christmas Program has been re-scheduled to Thursday, December 18th at 9:30. Grade levels will sing songs they have been practicing with their music teacher, Ms. Ticer. We will look to have as much parking available as possible in the main lot for parents and guardians. Please be respectful as to not park in a manner that blocks an individual from leaving. Attendance matters, and it is advised that students are not signed out early after the program unless necessary. Thank you! --Ryan.

Good evening Falcon families! This is a reminder that starting tomorrow, we will have a Santa Shop until Friday for students who bring money to purchase gifts; they will also have time next week in their classes to make cards to along with the gifts if they'd like. Also, you or your child may begin regularly seeing an officer at school. This is a collaboration between WCS and the Parkersburg Police Department to have and SRO presence at schools that did not previously have one. The purpose is to ensure safety and to be a positive role model for our students!
