New Family Information


Kindergarten Night: Kindergarten Night is held every school year in May. It is a general information night about the Franklin Kindergarten program. This evening gives incoming kindergarten families an idea of what you can expect during the Kindergarten year.

Back to School Night: Back to School Night is held each year during the second week of school. On this night, parents meet with their child's teacher and find out what they can expect for the school year.

Kindergarten Welcome Interviews: Kindergarten Welcome Interviews are optional, but encouraged and are held on two school days in May. The interviews give children the opportunity to meet one of the Kindergarten teachers and become a little more familiar with Franklin. Interviews are scheduled once your child has been registered.

Lunch from Home

  • Lunches brought in after school begins should be left in the office where the student can pick them up at noon.

  • No glass containers or carbonated beverages should be brought to school.

    Hot Lunch

  • Burlingame School District is sponsoring a district-wide hot lunch program, run by Chartwells Food Service Company. Parents can review company information on their web site: www.chartwells-usa.com.

  • Please consult district flyers via the Franklin Falcon for monthly menus and program details. You should have received the September menu in the packet of information distributed on the first day of school. You can view the menu on-line at http://www.chartwellsmenus.com/menus/410/burlingame.htm?f=html&did=102.

  • Lunch including milk will be available for $3.50 per child, beginning August 30th. Small water bottles and milk alone will also be available during lunchtime for $.50. Free and reduced lunches are available from the School District for children whose family income falls within federal requirements. Applications are available in the office at any time during the school year.

  • Students will be given their own 4-digit pin number to access their account during each lunch purchase. Parents should deposit money into the accounts by leaving cash (in an envelope) or checks (payable to Burlingame School District) in the “Hot Lunch” envelope hanging in the office. Children may pay with cash, but this is not encouraged, as change cannot be given. Any change will be deposited into a child’s account. Pin numbers and balances from last year will be carried over.

  • The District will continue monthly Hot Lunch “Nutrition and Wellness” committee meetings, with Chartwells, District, and school representatives in attendance.
