Construction Update

Dear Franklin Community,

Last week, I communicated the pavement work at Franklin to complete the pathway from Dee and the blacktop in the back of the building. The order of projects has shifted. The construction team will be laying pavement around the area of the 3rd playground and reassembling the playground starting next week. The pavement of the pathway will be completed after the playground. Arrival and dismissal access remains the same for next week. I appreciate your understanding as we complete the final stages of the project.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kristin Williams

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.
