Good Evening Franklin Families, I am reaching out to inform you that a student at Franklin High School tested positive for Covid 19 today. Contact tracing and notifications will be completed this evening and we will be open for Cohort B students tomorrow morning. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Morning Franklin Families, I am writing to you today to update you on our staff vaccination efforts. We have scheduled 2nd dose vaccinations for our staff on Tuesday, April 6th and Tuesday, April 13. We will have 60 plus staff members receiving vaccinations on each of these days. Several districts have run into issues with staff calling out sick the day after the administration of the second dose due to experiencing symptoms. This has led to either last minute closure of the schools or pivoting to remote status in the early morning hour before school starts. In order to avoid the confusion of this scenario, I am notifying you in advance that we will be fully remote at all 3 schools on Wednesday, April 7th and Wednesday, April 14th. The days will run similar to our remote Mondays with as many as our staff as possible providing on-line instruction. Staff that are unable to provide on-line instruction due to illness will provide assignments to students for the day. I wanted to give you advance notice of this so you could make the necessary arrangements for your students on those days. I appreciate your understanding as we work to complete the vaccination of our staff members. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Good Afternoon Franklin Families, We have completed all contact tracing and notifications from our last positive case at Franklin High School. After consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Department of Education (DOE) , we are all set to open Franklin High School tomorrow morning for Cohort A students. I appreciate your patience and support as we worked through this process and look forward to the students returning to the high school tomorrow morning. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Morning Franklin Families, I am reaching out to you to let you know that we had 2 positive staff cases and 1 positive student case at Franklin High School over the weekend. We continue to contact trace and make notifications. In the contact tracing process this weekend, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has identified a "cluster" at Franklin High School. A cluster is defined as 3 or more cases connected to the school setting. In our case, they have identified 3 of our cases to be connected to the school setting. In consultation with DHHS and the Department of Education we will be going fully remote on Tuesday at Franklin High School so we can be thorough and complete the contact tracing on these cases. I will continue to monitor the situation in conjunction with DHHS and the Department of Education and let you know tomorrow afternoon where we are for Wednesday at the high school. Please remember to be vigilant in our mitigation strategies, social distancing, wearing of masks, and frequent handwashing. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Important Reminder for Parents, Guardians, and Students, Juniors who are testing tomorrow, please remember to bring your fully charged Chromebook and charger to school in the morning. All others, please remember that tomorrow there will be no non-testing students allowed on campus. Which means the library will not be open for remote learners and HUOT will also be remote tomorrow. Students will not have FHS Zooms to attend, but rather work that must completed tomorrow to count for daily attendance.
