As we are entering week two of our remote learning, we want to take a minute and remind all students in grades 7-12 that you are to be getting on live for your core classes at their normally scheduled times, and that you need to be completing your homework that is assigned through Canvas for all your core and non-core classes. Several students received zeroes last week for not completing assignments in your non-core classes. The end of the quarter is Wednesday, October 14th and we will have a down list go out at the end of this week. So, please do your best to get your work done for all of your classes.
Finally, reminder that if you are having technology issues make sure you are letting Mr. Kobza and/or the main office know.
Financial Aid Night for senior parents will take place entirely via ZOOM on Monday October 5th at 6:00pm. There will NOT be a gathering at the school due to school being closed until October 12th.

Parents - Update on School Picture Orders:
All H2O Photography picture packets will be delivered to the school on Oct 7th and will be available for students to pickup during the week of Oct 12th when we return to school.
Elementary students can access their class schedules on the schools website. You will only log in live where it is scheduled. When you are not live watch the recorded instructional videos that are posted. The live session is to check with your teacher and ask questions.
There are a few companies that are working to get internet access to families of students in the K-12 education system who don't have internet access. The two companies in our area that are doing this are Eagle and Viaero. Below are links that will explain what they are offering and a form to fill out for qualification.

High School Students:
If you were absent on Friday, and/or forgot something here at school that you will need for class, please contact the school and we will be available until 4:00 pm today for you to get what you are needing for class. Online remote learning will begin tomorrow.
Just a friendly reminder that remote learning will begin on Tuesday, September 29th. This will be in the same format as we did last Tuesday, with all 7-12 students logging on face to face with their core classes (English, Math, Science, and History) at their normal school times, and K-6 logging on for their designated time periods. This will continue through Friday, October 9th. We hope to see everyone back in school on Monday, October 12th.
FPS Classes Going Remote -
Franklin Public Schools is reporting that several staff members have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 in the school district. Superintendent Dr. Candace Conradt stated that through collaborative efforts and discussion with Two Rivers Public Health Department, the decision has been made to transition to remote learning beginning Tuesday, September 30, through Friday, October 9. The first day back in session will be Monday, October 12. Monday, September 29, students will not attend classes in the building to allow for cleaning and for teachers to prepare for remote learning.
While Dr. Conradt knows this is not necessarily an ideal learning environment for the students, the health and safety of all students in the district is also important. It was a difficult decision, but the health of the students takes priority.
Students will follow the same remote learning schedule as the September 22nd virtual schedule we followed. All practices and activities including Parent/Teacher Conferences are cancelled.
A mandatory mask policy was put into place in the schools today, and will continue until further notice. Masks will be required while on school property, and may be removed only during meal time.
Anyone who has additional questions can reach Dr. Conradt at the Franklin schools at 308-425-6283 Ext. 30
