Our Student Council leaders met with Gloucester County EMS recently to donate stuffed animals collected at our 6th Grade Winter Dance. These toys will be used to bring a smile and a sense of safety to pediatric patients in our county.

The Franklin Twp School District will operate on a regular schedule for Friday 1/30/26. Thank you for your patience while we navigated this unique storm!
The district will operate on a 2 hour delay Thursday 1/28/26. Please report to bus stops or school 2 hours later than your normally scheduled time. AM preschool is cancelled.
As we navigate through the clean up of this most recent storm, I appreciate your patience and understanding. The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority and we will continue to assess the situation daily. If there are any changes for Friday, they will be communicated out tomorrow.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we continue to manage the after effects of the recent storm, and in the interest of safety for our school community, the Township of Franklin School District will operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, January 28. With temperatures remaining below freezing, thawing has been limited despite the assistance of sunlight. A delayed opening will allow for improved conditions and ensure that students waiting at bus stops, as well as those driving in potentially icy conditions, can benefit from
daylight on our first day back.
We are especially grateful to our facilities team, who have worked tirelessly through
challenging conditions and frigid temperatures to prepare our campus.
Key Details for the Two-Hour Delay:
● School will begin two hours later than the usual start time.
● Buses will run on a delayed schedule; students should arrive at their bus stops two
hours later than their normal pickup time.
● Lunch will be served as usual.
● Before Care is cancelled; however, after-school activities, including After Care, will
proceed as scheduled.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please continue to prioritize safety as we navigate these weather conditions.
Warm regards,
Dr. Kristin Kellogg
Township of Franklin

Dear Township of Franklin School Community,
Our district will be closed due do the inclement weather on Tuesday January 27, 2026. Our crews did a wonderful job working to get our campus ready, but there are still safety concerns that need to be addressed regarding our ability to safely transport students. While education is our passion, safety comes first. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Take care and stay warm!
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Due to inclement weather, the Township of Franklin School District will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 26.
Our facilities team will be working diligently throughout the storm to prepare our campuses for reopening. Depending on weather conditions and the progress of their efforts, we are hopeful that Tuesday will be a regular school day. I will continue to communicate with our community regarding Tuesday’s status as our team quite literally digs out over the course of today and tomorrow.
We are incredibly grateful to our facilities personnel for their hard work, especially as they contend with challenging conditions and frigid temperatures.
Please stay safe, keep warm, and enjoy the snow day. Thank you for your continued understanding and support. We look forward to welcoming everyone back once conditions allow us to safely return to campus.
Warm regards,
Dr. Kristin Kellogg

This Wednesday, Reutter School students took a deep dive into the power of their words during our weekly character development lessons. In honor of No Name Calling Week, classes explored the importance of empathy and the lasting impact that positive communication has on our school culture.
The lessons focused on identifying the difference between "just joking" and hurtful language, encouraging students to be "upstanders" who support one another.
To turn their learning into a shared commitment, students placed their names of a piece of paper to become part of our School-Wide Pledge Wall, currently under construction by our Counselor Helpers. By placing their names, students made a visible promise to stand up against bullying, use inclusive language, and treat every peer with respect and compassion.
In 5th Grade: Students in Mrs. Young’s and Miss Jacobs’ classes are deep-diving into their current unit of study by investigating the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Through their DBQ work, they are analyzing evidence and building connections to understand the challenges of early colonization.
In 6th Grade: Mr. Stagliano’s students are tackling complex civic concepts as they complete a rigorous DBQ: "How Did the Constitution Guard Against Tyranny?" Students are evaluating historical documents to identify the various "checks and balances" that protect our democracy, then synthesizing that information into structured, evidence-based writing.
By analyzing multiple perspectives and citing specific evidence, our students are developing the high-level reasoning and communication skills they will need for middle school and beyond.
Mr. Burlingame’s Health and Physical Education classes at Reutter School are currently moving through a dynamic unit of study on dance. Students are practicing synchronized footwork, following multi-step choreography, and collaborating in small groups to master rhythmic patterns. This unit provides a unique opportunity for students to build cardiovascular endurance and coordination while expressing their creativity through movement.
