We’re beyond excited to bring you Week 7 of full-speed developments at Franklin and Monroe Middle Schools! 🚧

🎥 Check out the latest video update for a look at:

  • Steady progress on the front entrance at Franklin

  • Demolition of west side of building completed at Franklin

  • New flooring in 7-8th grade wing at Monroe, and beginning installation of frames of skylights in 15 classroom at Monroe (Final installation of the actual skylights won’t be completed until late fall due to manufacturing delays)

  • Beginning construction of water retention basin at Monroe

    This transformation is powered by the community-approved $151.5M referendum passed on November 5, 2024—investing in safe, modern learning environments for our students. #YourCommunitySchools

PACE Summer Bridge:

For the 3rd consecutive year, CUSD 200 PACE teachers offered a bridge program for rising 5th-grade students new to PACE math. Students worked hard to complete a year’s worth of math in six weeks - especially over break. Thanks to PACE Teachers Sara Garner and Taylor Wilson for supporting the students over the summer as they enter PACE Math! #YourCommunitySchools

A group of rising 6th-grade Bulldogs received a unique summer welcome to Franklin this June. Recognizing the importance of understanding ratios as a foundation for middle school success, Franklin staff created a summer bridge where students reviewed core content from 5th grade. Thank you, Franklin teachers, for providing such an engaging introduction to middle school! YourCommunitySchools

Monroe staff spent the first week of June welcoming a group of rising 6th-grade students for a summer bridge. These future Eagles are prepared to start 6th grade next month after attending the bridge to review fractions and immerse themselves in content from math to drama. Thanks to each of the Monroe teachers for helping students step up over the summer! #YourCommunitySchools
