Just a quick update about drop-offs: If your child forgets their lunch, you are welcome to drop off their lunch box/bag on the table in the lobby of door 1, however please avoid dropping off fast-food/take-out food for your child's lunch.
We try to avoid fast-food/takeout food deliveries for students. Thank you!


Franklin Families,
We hope you are staying warm and safe today!
Just a reminder that we are still taking attendance on e-learning days.
If your child is going to be absent from e-learning for any period, for any reason, please still call him or her in as absent to the attendance line or email lindsay.nauss@cusd200.org
Students shouldn’t be calling or emailing themselves in as “absent” on e-learning days.
Thank you!


Due to the freezing rain and icy road conditions, especially on side streets and untreated surfaces, all District 200 schools will engage in an e-learning day today, Jan. 23.
Students in grades 1-12 will follow the e-learning schedule that can be found here. All students should login to Google Classroom by 9 a.m. to receive assignments and Google Meets links. Kindergarten and early childhood students should follow the plan that has been communicated by their teacher.
Coaches and/or sponsors communicate the status of any after school or evening activities with families later today.
Barring any additional travel challenges or inclement weather, school will be back in session on Wednesday, Jan. 24. With that said, we encourage you to continue monitoring e-mail, social media and the district’s family of websites for updates about the weather and its impact on our operations.
We recognize that this month has brought a number of severe weather events that have forced us to engage in e-learning, which creates additional challenges for our parents/guardians, students and staff. Your understanding, cooperation and resilience are greatly appreciated as we navigate these challenges together.
Please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) with any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeff Schuler
Superintendent of Schools
Community Unit School District 200
