Good morning Franklin community. I am sure, by now, that you have heard about the potential storm that might be heading our way. I wanted to reassure you that we are monitoring this storm system and will be keeping you updated as the day progresses. Many of the weather models have been changing frequently, with the majority of reports saying the freezing rain and ice should arrive after 9 pm this evening. We hope that the forecast holds true and we can get the school day and evening activities in before the weather breaks. As always, the safety of our students and staff comes first and we will be making our decisions base on that safety issue. If any information comes to us that would cause any changes, I will get that information out to you as soon as possible. Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Jeff Waggener
Superintendent of Schools
Principal 6-12
