COVID-19 2022-2023 Guidelines

Please take a moment to review your Parent Portal for the safety and security of our students to avoid confusion at pickup.

• At least two contacts for each child's portal account
• Accurate phone numbers for all contacts
• Up-to-date primary address for your residence

If you are changing information for adults who have permission to pickup your child, please make sure this new information is in the Parent Portal. Please ensure you check the pickup permission box and include any other relevant information.

Notify your teacher and the front office of any changes by email or phone at 847-318-4390.

Anyone Entering Franklin

All parents/guardians/visitors to Franklin must have a valid state ID or driver’s license. These will be entered into the Raptor identification system. This process only takes a short time to complete. Once you have clearance, a visitor pass will be printed and attached to a lanyard that you must wear throughout the building. The office will hold your ID until you return to the office and return the lanyard that was given to you. We request that you please be patient with staff as we proceed with this district-mandated safety procedure.

Student-Parent Handbook
Franklin Elementary School, along with all District 64 schools, operates following policies and practices that have been reviewed and implemented by the District 64 Board of Education. Please review the D64 Student-Parent Handbook before the start of the school year.

If you have a student entering Kindergarten in the upcoming school year, there is a new

Facebook group called Franklin Falcons Class of 2036 that we welcome you to join!

This is a great way to stay up to date with all the new info that comes with entering

Kindergarten and also a great way to meet new families and Kindergarten friends!
