Florence Twp. School District -BACK TO SCHOOL EDITION- #6
Welcome Back FTSD!
As we begin to welcome students back to our campuses on Monday, September 21, 2020, we would like to highlight a few important points for a safe reopening. Please note these significant changes as the COVID 19 pandemic has most definitely altered many aspects of our lives. As always, our students' and staff's health and safety are most important to us!
While many adjustments have been made to accommodate social distancing and the safety of students with our hybrid in-person and remote learning, our goal is for a successful and exciting school year! Again, we thank you for your continued support during this time. If you have any questions please contact your child’s teacher or building administrator to assist. We look forward to seeing our students back on campus soon!
