Hey Bulldogs, have you ordered your 2023-24 yearbook yet? We have a list of current yearbook orders posted on the bulletin board outside of the cafeteria and in the LLC by the printer. If your name is not on the list, we do not have a yearbook for you. It’s not too late…visit www.yearbookforever.com or bring $30 to the office to order a book!
Have a fun Halloween, Bulldogs!
Be careful, be kind and be safe!
(Remember, there is NO activity bus today after school)

Happy Homecoming Weekend, Wheaton North High School! Go Falcons! #YourCommunitySchools
What a great message from a bulletin board at Washington Elementary! Students who attend school regularly typically demonstrate higher learning outcomes than those with poor attendance. Being present each day affords students all the important experiences that come with attending school, such as friendships, clubs, and activities. Students also learn responsibility and work ethic through consistent attendance. #YourCommunitySchools

School may be out today, but these Bulldog XC runners still got up early to run!
Way to go, Bulldogs!!
Early Dismissals and Appointments- reminder!
We have had several situations lately where a student is called out of school with little to no notice, and/or without a note or call beforehand.
We understand that emergencies may occur, however please take a minute to review the Franklin procedure for students leaving early. I have also included the link to our "School Procedures" page. This is an important page to bookmark and be familiar with!
If your child is going to leave early for any reason, please send a note with your child which he/she should bring to the main office before going to his/her locker in the morning.
You may also call and/or leave a message on the attendance line any time with this information as well. 630-682-2359 The more notice, the better.... so we won't have to interrupt teaching.
A pass will be given to your child so they can come to the main office at the designated time.
Pull your vehicle up in front of door 1 and call the front office at 630-682-2060, or ring the doorbell at door 1, and your child will come outside to your vehicle once we have confirmed you are here.
