FMS Parents:
Good day from Frankfort Middle School!
Just wanted to express our gratitude and thanks to all the folks that support our vision @ Frankfort Middle: "Foster Learning Opportunities, Make and Maintain Relationships and Safety for All! "
On the idea of "Fostering Learning Opportunities", we wanted to make parents aware of the Educational Leave of Absence that Mineral County Schools offers for our students and families. We are aware that Summertime isn't ideal for some families to schedule trips, vacations or other events. In those instances, we have the option of Educational Leave. You can request a form yourself, or have your student ask for one! It requires you to list learning objectives that your child will cover on the trip (because, lets be honest-- we can learn something EVERYDAY!!!) and your child will write a 1 page paper, chronicling their journey, where they went, what they saw and what they learned! The form must be filled out PRIOR TO the scheduled leave date, and students have 5 DAYS (after return) to get their paper in. If handled this way, vacations and other family events are counted as EXCUSED absences.
Again, we thank you kindly for your support and we look forward to working with you through this year!
