Parent Distance Learning Survey

  • Thank you for your support of Franklin City Schools this school year. Distance learning in March, April and May required a monumental team effort between our teachers, staff and families. We are proud of what we accomplished by working together.
  • Like educators across the nation, We are hopeful and optimistic that students will be able to safely return to classrooms in the fall. It is important, however, for us to evaluate our distance learning services to make improvements, in case it is necessary for school buildings to close again in the future.
  • Please take time to complete the survey below -- once for every FCS school your children attend. We value and appreciate your input. Thank you for your assistance.

Freshmen Orientation for the Class of 2024

As of now, Freshmen Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2020.  In years past we have divided orientation into two sessions.  Students with a last name that begins with letters A-K met during a morning session between 8:30-10:00 am.  Students with a last name that begins with letters L-Z met during an afternoon session between 12:30-2:00 pm.  As we continue to collaborate with the Health Department and the appropriate authorities, orientation this year may be organized differently.  We will communicate any updates to students and parents as we learn more about how to proceed in a manner designed to keep everyone as safe as possible.  At this time, we are simply asking everyone to save the date for Thursday, August 6, 2020 in the event that we can proceed with an in-person orientation.  If you have any questions, please email Assistant Principal, Michael Voynovich at mvoynovich@franklincityschools.com.  Thank you for your continued patience and support.  We wish all of you a safe and enjoyable summer.
