Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

I am thrilled to welcome you to Franklin School as your Principal for this school year!

Having spent 25 wonderful years in the Lyndhurst School District, I feel deeply connected to our community. My experience as a teacher, along with my role as a parent, gives me a unique perspective on the needs of both students and families. Each year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and celebrate the achievements of our children, and I am honored to be part of that journey with you.

At Franklin School, our goal is to educate the whole child. From academics to social-emotional growth, we strive to provide every student with meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, inspire confidence, and encourage success. Our dedicated and passionate staff work every day to create a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where your child can thrive.

We know that the best outcomes happen when schools and families work together. I value the partnership we share with our parents and community, and I am committed to keeping the lines of communication open. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas, or simply to say hello—my door is always open.

I look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and wonderful memories. Together, we will continue to provide outstanding educational opportunities and support every student in achieving their best.

Warm regards, 

Jennifer L. Scardino
