Franklin High School

Due to a state wide issue with the online testing portal, our scheduled testing for today at FMS and FHS has been rescheduled to tomorrow (Weds., May 19). Emails will be sent to families.

Dear Franklin Families, We had a middle school student test positive over the weekend. Contact tracing and notifications have been completed. Thank you for your continued support and assistance in keeping students and staff healthy and safe.

Good Afternoon Franklin Families. I have been notified of a student at the elementary school testing positive today for COVID-19. Contact tracing and notifications have been completed. I hope everyone has a safe and healthy weekend.

Good Morning Franklin Families, I am writing to you today to update you on where we are with changing the schools start and end times for the 21/22 school year. After surveying our families earlier this year and answering the questions that were submitted from the survey, I will be recommending the changes below at the School Board meeting on Monday night. Elementary School: Drop off 7:15 Instructional day start 7:40 Dismissal: 2:00 Middle School: Drop off 8:05 Instructional day start 8:25 Dismissal 3:05 High School: Drop off 8:10 Instructional day start 8:30 Dismissal 3:15 Based on the feedback we received from our survey, I am working with the Rec Center and the Boys and Girls Club to make sure we have quality child care available for our families that need it. We also are planning an after school tutoring program at the elementary school and a before school tutoring program at the middle school to address learning loss for students due to the pandemic. Please know that this change is supported by research and is being considered to assist in our efforts to improve student achievement in the Franklin School District. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to me with questions or feedback. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Morning Franklin Families, I was notified this morning of an incident that occurred after school yesterday involving a school bus. The bus was a Winnisquam bus that was dropping off the Franklin High School HUOT students at Franklin High School. A bowling ball crashed through the window of the bus while the driver was on the way back to dispatch. The driver was not injured and there were no students on the bus at the time. The incident is under investigation by the Franklin Police Department. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Afternoon Franklin Families, I have been informed of three students testing positive of COVID-19 today at the elementary school. For the first case, all close contacts have been identified and notifications have been completed. The 2nd and 3rd cases are associated and were expected. There are no close contacts identified as the students have been out of school since before vacation. We are all set for in-person school tomorrow. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Dear Franklin Families, I am reaching out to inform you that a fully remote student at Franklin Middle School tested positive today for Covid-19. Contact tracing was not necessary due to the student's remote status. Please continue to monitor your students for symptoms prior to sending them to school each day so we can keep all of our students and staff safe and healthy. We are off to a great start with our 5 day a week in-person learning model this week. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Dear Franklin Families, I am writing to you today to update you on some outcomes from the School Board meeting last night. We are all set to welcome back our students 5 days a week for in-person learning if they have signed up for it. We will continue to provide for our fully remote learners as well until the end of the school year. I have received some questions regarding the Governor's decision to lift the statewide mask mandate yesterday. The plan approved by the Board last night requires us to continue to follow the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) guidelines which we have followed all year. Masks will be worn at all times that 6 foot distancing cannot be maintained. This includes buses, classrooms, recess, etc. Masks breaks will be provided at least 3 times per day and individually as needed. I have attached the approved plan for your review. With the upcoming vacation, I wanted to update you on the latest travel guidance. There is no longer any travel quarantine required for any travel within the United States. There are some requirements for international travel based on vaccination status. I ask that if you are travelling out of the country that you contact us so we can provide the proper guidance in regard to quarantine. I look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Afternoon Franklin Families. This is a reminder that we will be fully remote in the Franklin School District tomorrow, Wednesday, April 14th due to staff second dose vaccinations that were administered today. Thank you for your continued support of all of our staff members. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent
