BOARD OF EDUCATION RECAP & MASKING CHANGE

At last week’s Board of Education meeting, the school board heard a presentation from district leaders, including the district’s medical advisory team, and then ultimately voted on a change to masking requirements for the 2021-22 school year. Please see the full communication we sent to families on Thursday here and the current masking protocols for the start of the school year are shown below.

At all elementary buildings and for 6th-grade students at Forest Park, students are currently required to wear masks since the Community Burden Rate for Franklin is currently in the red. For grades 7 through 12, students are ‘recommended’ to wear masks. Franklin Public Schools will be releasing a dashboard weekly (on Fridays) to share the newest case rate information and any impact this has for masking for the following week. You can always find the dashboard and any updates on our Communications Hub here.

CATCH UP ON DISTRICT NEWS

Please be sure to read the newest District Newsletter that comes out now every Friday. You can access all the issues here.

4K IMPORTANT INFORMATION

4K IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In 4K, we begin the school year with Getting to Know You Days, in which each 4K child, along with one parent, will be invited for a 15-20 minute time slot to come to visit their classroom, drop off supplies, meet their teacher, and of course, answer any questions you or your child may have! This year, our Getting to Know You Days are Wednesday, September 1st, Thursday, September 2nd, and Friday, September 3rd from 8 am-4 pm. You should have received communication from your child’s teacher on how to sign your child up for a Getting to Know You Conference.


At this time, all visitors into the school building are required to wear a mask whether you are vaccinated or not, so please plan to bring masks for you and your family. If there are any other changes to the district protocols that would impact the Getting to Know You Days, your teacher will be in touch with additional details and next steps.


As a reminder, the first day for all 4K students is Tuesday, September 7th.
