Good Afternoon Franklin Families, I have been informed of three students testing positive of COVID-19 today at the elementary school. For the first case, all close contacts have been identified and notifications have been completed. The 2nd and 3rd cases are associated and were expected. There are no close contacts identified as the students have been out of school since before vacation. We are all set for in-person school tomorrow. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

5/3/21 Good Afternoon Franklin Families, I am reaching out to report 4 new positive student cases of COVID-19. The first case was over vacation and was a high school student. A close contact of this student (another high school student) tested positive today which was expected. All contact tracing and notifications for these 2 cases have been completed. The 3rd case, an elementary school student, and 4th case, a middle school student, were reported today. No school close contacts were identified due to school vacation last week. Please continue to screen your children for symptoms each day and keep them home if they are sick. I appreciate your assistance and support in keeping everyone safe and healthy.

The FHS T & F Meet at Winnisquam for tomorrow (Sat 4/17) has been CANCELED.

Dear Franklin Families, I am writing to you today to update you on some outcomes from the School Board meeting last night. We are all set to welcome back our students 5 days a week for in-person learning if they have signed up for it. We will continue to provide for our fully remote learners as well until the end of the school year. I have received some questions regarding the Governor's decision to lift the statewide mask mandate yesterday. The plan approved by the Board last night requires us to continue to follow the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) guidelines which we have followed all year. Masks will be worn at all times that 6 foot distancing cannot be maintained. This includes buses, classrooms, recess, etc. Masks breaks will be provided at least 3 times per day and individually as needed. I have attached the approved plan for your review. With the upcoming vacation, I wanted to update you on the latest travel guidance. There is no longer any travel quarantine required for any travel within the United States. There are some requirements for international travel based on vaccination status. I ask that if you are travelling out of the country that you contact us so we can provide the proper guidance in regard to quarantine. I look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent

Good Afternoon Franklin Families. This is a reminder that we will be fully remote in the Franklin School District tomorrow, Wednesday, April 14th due to staff second dose vaccinations that were administered today. Thank you for your continued support of all of our staff members. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent
