SCHOOL CLOSING
Following recommendations by Dr. Matt Blomstedt and Gov. Ricketts, Franklin Public Schools will be closing at 2:00 pm tomorrow Tuesday, March 17 through Friday, March 27th. The current situation will be assessed each week and most likely will be in 2-week increments. Please understand that there is a chance we will be closed for longer than the two-week period. We ask that you practice social distancing and that it is taken seriously. Students should stay home and avoid gathering. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. There will be no school work during this period and students 9-12 will not have access to their computers with the exception of the students taking college courses.
Preschool will not be in session on Tuesday, March 17th.
COVID-19 Information
Due to busy schedules, the TeamMates 7-12th grade Game Night scheduled for March 20th is being postponed until April 24th.
At Franklin Public Schools, we want to assure families that we are taking all the essential precautions and we have protocols in place to respond to any outbreak of COVID-19 within our Franklin Public Schools Community. We have been working closely with the Two Rivers Health Department and the Commissioner of Education as they monitor the situation and we will follow their advice to maintain the health of our students, staff, and community.
Although many schools near the Metro area have canceled classes we have been advised to continue to hold classes as scheduled starting on Monday, March 16. If you have a child with underlying health issues and you are worried about his exposure to the virus while attending school please contact the building principal or me. Finally, if your child is running a fever and not feeling well please do not send them to school.
