Weather & Emergency Updates
In case of an emergency or inclement weather, school might be delayed or canceled. If the regular school schedule is changed, Franklin Pierce SD will send out an automated phone call and an email before 6:00am. You will receive a SMS text message if you have 'opted-in' (visit fpschools.org/textmessage). You will also find updated information on the Franklin Pierce School district website (fpschools.org). School closures and delays are also posted on Social Media Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/FranklinPierceSchools/)
On school closure or delay days, the office usually receives heavy calls and may be short staffed. Your call may not be answered in a timely manner, so please listen to your voicemail, check your text messages and visit the Franklin Pierce SD website or Facebook before calling the school.
• Emergencies may include inclement weather, power outages. • "Schools closed" means that all schools will be closed for that one day only. All school related activities will be canceled.
• "Late start" means that all schools will start late by the amount of time specified for that one day only, (example: if school is delayed 2 hours, school would start at 11:20am and the buses will pick your student up from their bus stop 2 hours later than normal). Students may not arrive before 10:45am. School buses deliver students home on late start days, expect for 'special transports', they are cancelled on late start days. If there is a 'late start' on an early dismissal Wednesday, then that day will be a full day (school will start 11:20am and end at 4pm).
