A Message from Franklin MS

Dear Franklin Families,

At this point, it is likely that you have received the communication from Dr. Brabrand that our schools will be closed until April 10. I want all of our Franklin families to know that we are all in this together.  While our physical building isn’t open for the community and we are asked to maintain social distance, I encourage our students and families to continue to remain connected to one another. Use the technology we have at our disposal to reach out to your loved ones and friends. During our time apart, continue to foster the connections and relationships built through school and activities. By working together and caring for each other, we will find the right way forward.

As we prepare for the extended closure, the Franklin Office will be open on Monday, March 16 between the hours of 8:00 am and 2:00 pm for students to pick up laptops, binders, musical instruments, and other resources. Please check in at Door 1.

As additional information becomes available, we will communicate that to you as quickly as possible. We understand that this is a difficult time and that families may be feeling a variety of emotions around this closure. If there is anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Dustin Wright

Principal
