Good evening Franklin Families,
Tomorrow is field day. Please apply sunscreen before coming to school and bring a change of clothes, some of the games include water. Students will not be permitted to call home if they forgot.
Reminder, due to the changes in the Wood County Schools Parent and Family Engagement Policy adopted in January, there will be no visitors permitted for Field Day. Only volunteers who have signed up ahead of time, that have a valid WCS background check. Volunteers should have received a letter with directions for the day.

Hello Franklin Families,
We just wanted to remind you that
Boys and Girls Club is closed until summer programs start. If you have not already notified the school of students pick up instructions, please so so now.
Good afternoon Franklin Families,
After looking at the weather for Wednesday, I am making the decision to move K-5 Field Day to Friday, May 31st. If you had signed up to volunteer for Field Day, and the new date doesn't work for you, please reach out through Class Dojo. Remember only parent and guardians who have signed up to volunteer AND got their background check will be permitted to stay for Field Day. You should have received an information paper last week that went home with your student for the time to arrive and where your area was.

Good evening Franklin Families,
We had many absences today. We hope our families were able to enjoy the Solar Eclipse with their students and use the event today to teach your students about Space. WCS has communicated that if your student missed school today due to the eclipse, please send a note to your child's teacher and the absent will be excused.
Buses may be delayed this morning due to high water in several areas across the county. We appreciate your patience as we work to safely pick up and deliver students this morning.
All Wood County Schools after-school and evening activities will be CANCELLED tonight (Tuesday, April 2, 2024) due to incoming inclement weather. Schools will dismiss at their normal times today.
Boys and Girls Club will be closed this evening. Please contact the school or Dojo your child's teacher to let us know what your child should do for dismissal.
