Teacher Change Request Form

Please click here to complete the Teacher Change Request Form

Hello Parents,

Please note that requests will be noted through this form but will only be honored in extenuating circumstances. Students in Grades 1 and up were placed off my teacher's knowledge of the child and we will be honoring their expertise.

We understand that you want is best for your child, but please rest assured that we have the BEST teachers at Franklin and ALL have talents and rapport with our students. Our teachers place their students with specific teachers at the end of every school year and place them with whom they know they will be successful. If we are constantly moving students around, because of desires to be with friends, or with siblings past teachers, we are losing the expertise our teachers bring to the table and the equitable practices we as a school site utilize to place students where we feel best for their educational journey.

Thank you on behalf of your administration for trusting the process.

Sarah Zuetel, Principal
Elisa Chaidez, Asst Principal
