eLEARNING DAY NOVEMBER 19th
Dear FTCSC Parents,
Franklin Township Community School Corporation will hold an eLearning Day for students and a professional development day for staff on Tuesday, November 19th. While this day was not originally scheduled as an eLearning Day, we hope that we are providing you with enough time to plan for the change. Last year, FTCSC implemented eLearning Day. An eLearning Day allows a student to continue their education remotely. Please remember that you can find all the information you need in regards to an eLearning Day at our website https://ftcsc.org/academic-department/elearning-days/. Teachers and schools will be providing more information about the Tuesday, November 19th eLearning Day over the next week and a half. If you have any questions on Tuesday, please contact the main office of your child's school. There will be staff available to assist you.
Tuesday, November 19th is the start of the 2020 Legislative Session. It is also a "RED For Ed" Action Day. On Tuesday, November 19th many educators, support staff, administrators, parents and community members from all over Indiana will be holding a rally at the Statehouse in support of and to advocate for public education. We are proud of our amazing FTCSC educators and we support their decision to exercise their right to advocate for public education. We support RED (Republicans, Educators and Democrats) working together to better public education. You can learn more about RED For Ed Action Day by visiting the following ISTA website https://www.ista-in.org/invest-in-education.
We thank you in advance for your support of our staff and public education!
Sincerely,
FTCSC Central Office Admin Team
