Just a reminder that Franklin Schools are a "First Day Exclusion" district. This means that we require all students who need a physical and up to date record of immunization to submit them to the office by the first day of school or else your child will not be able to attend. This is for grades PK, Kindergarten, 6th and 9th. Eye and dental exams have later due dates but you may submit them to the office at anytime prior to the required date. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our nurse Mrs. Gina Hamilton at 217.675.2395 or ghamilton@franklinhigh.com. Thank you for your cooperation!
