High Attendance Day:
It's no fun playing a game without all the players. Students who come to school on Tuesday, September 9th, will be entered for a drawing. There will be multiple raffles that day. Be present, be engaged, be a winner!
Policy Update: Cell Phones & Personal Devices:
We changed our cell phone policy to adopt an "Away for the Day" approach during instructional hours. This initiative is designed to increase academic engagement, minimize distractions, foster face-to-face social interaction, and support student safety. Here is a link to our new cell phone policy. To learn more, please visit https://www.awayfortheday.org/.
Absences:
If your student is absent or tardy, please send the excuse to whhs.attendance@franklin.kyschools.us or have your student drop the note off in the front office. Pupils are required to attend regularly and punctually to the school in which they are enrolled. For questions, please review the FCS Attendance Policy.
