Back to School

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year!

Dear Franklin Falcon Families, 

We hope that you are having a wonderful summer full of time with your family.  If you are new to Franklin this year, welcome to the Franklin Falcon Family!  If you have had students already at Franklin, we are excited to welcome you back for the upcoming school year!  

The staff is working hard to prepare for the first day of school on Monday, August 11th.  We look forward to another great year of reconnecting and learning! Ongoing updates and information about planning for the 2025-26 school year can be found on the Alameda Unified School District Webpage. If you are looking for information on how to register your child, please go to the Student Services Department webpage.

There will be two incoming kindergarten play dates this summer. The first will be on Saturday, July 12th from 10am-12pm. The second will be on Sunday, July 27th from 10am-12pm. These play dates are held at Franklin Park and are for all incoming kindergarteners. They are are hosted by existing Franklin parents who have incoming kindergarten siblings. They help our kindergarten families get to know one another in advance of school starting.

Our PTA is planning their annual Back to School Social on August 10th from 1-3pm. We hope you can join to see new and old friends and enjoy some sweet treats. For additional information about upcoming dates, you can check out our "draft" of our Important Dates Document for the 2025-2026 school year. 

If you have moved and need to change your address, please contact our District Office's Student Support Services Department at (510) 337-7072. Thank you and we can't wait to partner with you again this school year, and to see you again in person!

Warmly,

 Lynnette Chirrick
