Our first Frankford grown lettuce being delivered to the cafeteria for lunches! You don't get much more local than grown a few steps from the cafeteria and cut fresh every morning. We have more than enough lettuce for this week but hopefully for the next few weeks. We will keep delivering it till we run out. Enjoy!

Kindergarten tested out their Egg Drop projects on Monday. Some designs survived the drop, while others received the Humpty Dumpty award. Great work all around and a special thanks to Mr. Dwyer for dropping them for us!
That's a lot of lettuce! The Frankford Hydroponic lettuce grower is doing great. Maybe too great. Our lettuce plants drank over 35 gallons of fertilized water over spring break and grew several inches. We may be getting some Frankford fresh salads in the cafeteria soon!
We could use some mice! As a 1:1 school, our student Chromebooks are seeing heavy use daily. The touch pads are really struggling and we have a one member tech team who is trying his best to keep up with repairs.
Have a mouse at home that you aren't using? Send it in with them! They'll thank you! With testing coming in May, the mouse will make their lives easier with the drop downs too!
And that’s a wrap! 5th Grade Duolingo champions and a little “dabbing” adios!

Please note: The annual fee for this program takes into consideration all scheduled school closings as well as emergency closings i.e. snow days. This program was created to provide an inclusion opportunity for our preschool students with disabilities class.

Parent or guardian must furnish the child’s birth certificate, proof of residency in Frankford Township or the Borough of Branchville, and an updated immunization record.

Once your registration has been submitted, you will receive an email with links and instructions for uploading the requested documents. If you are unable to upload, you may deliver the documents the date of registration appointment. CHILD FIND: Federal and State Legislation mandates this service be provided to Disabled Children ages 2 to 21. Frankford Township School offers services to disabled children ages 3 to 21 using a multidisciplinary approach. Children who are having significant difficulty in school may be referred to the Child Study Team by parents or appropriate school personnel. Children ages 3-5 who are experiencing a physical, sensory, emotional, communication, cognitive or social difficulty or a measurable developmental impairment may require special education and related services. The term Preschool Disabled means there is an identified, disabling condition and /or measurable developmental impairment that requires special education and related services.
If the parents are concerned about their child’s program, they should feel free to discuss a referral to the Child Study Team with their child’s teacher, guidance counselor, or administrator. The Frankford Township School Child Study Team can be contacted at 973-948-3727, ext. 215 for more information.
