Franklin Sherman Flash - August 30, 2021

happy students

There's No Place Like FSES

What a great week we had here at Franklin Sherman!  We love having students back in our classrooms.

Please be sure to take some time to review the FCPS Health and Safety Guidance so that we can keep all of our students and staff healthy.  If students demonstrate any of the following symptoms at school, they will be sent home with a Sick Student Notification and Return to School Form.  Those symptoms include:  fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches, runny nose/congestion, stomachache, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting and headaches.  

If your child has a health condition that causes some of the symptoms above, please work with our School Health Room Aide, Alexis Jones, to connect with your doctor and document your child's condition. 

We appreciate your careful monitoring of your child's health to keep everyone safe and healthy.
