Franklin County School District Home

Franklin Chess Center will have an open house August 2nd from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. All parents of children who wish to participate in the chess program during the school day should plan to attend. The mission of the Southwest Mississippi Chess Foundation is to promote the teaching and learning of chess for its social, intellectual and academic benefits. One of our chief goals is to foster chess in Southwest Mississippi and beyond. This includes developing strong chess players who compete at the highest levels but also use chess as a model for other academic learning.

Franklin Lower and Upper Elementary Schools will have a joint registration for the 2018-2019 school year in the Upper Elementary School gym during the dates and times listed. School personnel hope that in combining both buildings in one location and having several different time frames, this will make registration an easier process for parents. In order to complete a student’s registration and provide parents with the name of their child’s teacher/s, the school must have a copy of the child’s certified birth certificate, Immunization Form, Social Security Card, and 2 proofs of residency, if these documents have not been previously provided. New proofs of residency are required every school year. REGISTRATION DATES AND TIMES: THURSDAY, JUNE 21- 10:30 A.M.-6:00 P.M. FRIDAY, JUNE 22- 8:30 A.M.-3:00 P.M. THURSDAY, JULY 19- 10:30 A.M.-6:00 P.M. FRIDAY, JULY 20- 8:30 A.M.-3:00 P.M.
