Good Afternoon Franklin Families, I am reaching out to tell you that I was notified yesterday afternoon that 2 students at the high school tested positive for Covid-19. Neither student was in school during the infective period so there were no close contacts. Due to the dramatic drop in cases, the School Board has approved that we no longer collect and post our Covid Metrics that we have provided since September. I am hopeful that case counts will remain low and we will not have to revert back to collecting this information in the Fall. I will continue to notify you weekly of any positive cases in the District. As always, I appreciate all of your support in assisting us in responding to the pandemic. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Just a reminder that today there will be a fundraiser for the FHS yearbook. By presenting the flyer image, 25% of your bill will be donated to the FHS yearbook. Help our high school students preserve a part of Franklin's History for our students.

Dear Franklin Families, I am reaching out to inform you of an incident today at the Franklin Middle School. There was a situation at the end of the day that required the school to call 911. Police and Ambulance services responded and the matter was handled swiftly. There are no injuries to report. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Good Afternoon Franklin Families, I am transitioning to providing weekly only updates on Covid cases in the school district. I will be providing these updates each Monday to inform you about cases in the schools. With the reduction in cases, I hope this helps to bring back some sense of normalcy to all of our families. I have been notified that 1 middle school staff member and 2 high school students tested positive for Covid 19 over vacation. No close school contacts were identified. I will continue to update you each Monday. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Good Morning Franklin Families, I am pleased to share with you that our active Covid cases in the schools have dropped dramatically as currently we have 1 active case at the elementary school, 3 at the middle school and 2 at the high school. Therefore, I am notifying our families today that we are moving back to mask optional status on the following dates at the schools: elementary school 2/14/22, middle school 2/21/22, high school 2/14/22. Please remember that masks must still be worn on buses by federal mandate. We will continue to keep student desks 3 feet apart in the classrooms and continue our sanitizing mitigation strategies. We will take targeted approaches in the schools when we have cases like we were doing before we went to universal masking in the schools (classroom masking/wing masking if and when necessary). The notifications will continue so we can keep you fully informed about the status of Covid-19 in our schools. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
