Future - Enrichment • A Franklin middle school teacher is currently exploring the use of the MAC-based program “Garage Band” which may result in an enrichment opportunity for your sons and daughters. • LBCS is permitting Franklin’s teacher to use its MAC lab, at no cost to Franklin, in order to develop the program.
Future – Potential Solution • Geometry • Currently, Franklin’s 8th graders travel to Loomis Grammar School to attend an early morning geometry class. They are bused back to Franklin’s campus. • Possibility may exist to offer a geometry class on Franklin’s campus during regular school hours.
Future – Economic Uncertainty • Committed to serve the students of our respective schools. • Continue to respect the individuality, values, and norms of each campus. • Provide the best educational experience for each of the families who entrust us with the safety, social, emotional, and intellectual development of their sons and daughters.
