This newsletter will havecopies of our Franklin High School Distance Learning schedules. The valuable feedback from bothstudents and parents regarding Distance Learning provided us the opportunity to create a newlyenhanced format that provides regularly scheduled instructional time for students with their teachers,during school hours. Your student will be responsible for attending and participating in each one oftheir classes during that time on their schedule. Counselors are still working on student schedules andwe anticipate having them ready for students no later than Friday, August 7, 2020.We will continue our commitment to building connections with students and families while alsomaintaining the wide variety supports we currently offer such as meal distribution, virtual school-wideactivities, individual social-emotional support, academic interventions and technology accessibility.Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns.
