All School Franklin Academy Update for August 10, 2020
Woo Hoo! We are returning to school!
Here is what you need to know about the return to in-person learning!
Please make sure you review the COVID-19 Handbook
Drop off - What our mornings should look like:
Before you leave the house:
Answer the following questions:
- Has your child had any of the following symptoms: 100.4 Fever or Higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in the past 72 hours?
- Does anyone in your household have any of the above symptoms?
- Has your student been in close contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
- Has your student had any medication to reduce a fever before coming to school?
The student must be excluded from school if the answer to any of the above questions is "yes".
Remember to bring a clean mask to school every day.
Once you arrive:
The drop off will be at the back of Markell Hall and Robin Hall the front doors will remain locked and parents will not be admitted to the building. Drive around the building and wait for the attendant to take your student's temperature. Do not let your student out of the car before their temperature is taken.
If your student's temperature is normal they may get out of the car and walk into the building.
Each child will sanitize their hands a the station by the door and proceed up the stairs directly to their classroom.
Hand Washing is Fun! Everyone Practice at Home and Wash those Germs Away!
