Franklin MS Update - School Pictures and FLE Preview

Lifetouch School Pictures at FMS Tonight

Lifetouch photographers will be at the school to take individual student portraits today from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM this evening. Please use the Sign Up Genius to sign up in advance for individual time slots.

We will be doing a drive through system for school pictures (see photo below). To ensure that the event runs as efficiently for all our families, please arrive at your scheduled time. Vehicles should enter the Kiss ‘n’ Ride parking lot to the right of the building next to the playing fields, proceed forward to the access road, and drive around the back of the school building to Exit 5. Parents and guardians should remain in their vehicle. Please ask your student to wear a mask, which will be taken off for the picture. With staff direction, students will exit their vehicles, enter the building at Door 5 for a temperature check and proceed to the photographer in the building. Parents and guardians may pick up their students on the blacktop (between Doors 4 and 5) and continue around the loop to the front of the building to exit. Photographers and staff will adhere to social distancing and recommended health protocols. 

Orders may be placed online at MyLifetouch.com or by phone at: 1-800-736-4753 using the Picture Day ID: EVT9DJDD3. For assistance with ordering pictures, please contact Lifetouch by phone or by email at: UCanswers@lifetouch.com.
