Attention Parents and Guardians of FHS Sophomore Students,
On Monday, October 13th, all 10th-grade students will take the PreACT.
This is a required assessment for all sophomores.
Please ensure your student arrives at school by 8:00 AM and has made arrangements for pickup after testing concludes.
Because this is a teacher workday, 9th, 11th, and 12th-grade students will not attend school.
Please note: Do not confuse the optional PSAT with the mandatory PreACT.

Hello, this is Franklin High School calling with a reminder about our early dismissal procedures.
Students will not be called out of class for dismissal after 1:35 p.m. If your child needs to leave after 1:35, we must have written permission turned into the front office by 12:00 p.m. the same day (see page 16 of the FHS Student Handbook).
Please also remember that all students must sign out in the main office before leaving campus for any dismissal during the school day.
This policy helps us minimize classroom disruptions and ensure student safety. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Franklin High School Parents and Guardians,
At Monday night’s Board of Education meeting, the School Board voted on Board Policy 4318 – Use of Wireless Communication Devices to adopt Option B (bell to bell), with smart watch restrictions included. This new policy will take effect on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
What this means for students:
All personal electronic devices (cell phones, earbuds/AirPods, smartwatches, etc.) are prohibited anywhere on campus from 8:05 a.m. to 3:10 p.m.
Devices must be turned off and put away at the start of first period. We strongly encourage students to leave them at home or in their vehicle. Franklin High School will not be responsible for lost or damaged items.
Consequences for violations:
First offense: Device confiscated, returned at the end of the day.
Second offense: In-School Suspension (ISS) for the rest of that period (or the next day if it occurs at the end of class).
Third offense: Full day of ISS. Additional consequences may be assigned if violations continue.
Refusal to comply: If a teacher asks a student to turn in a device and the student refuses, the behavior will escalate and the student will be referred directly to the office.
Restrooms/Locker Rooms: Cell phone use in restrooms and locker rooms is strictly prohibited and will result in much stricter consequences.
We understand this change may not be popular, but as a Macon County Board of Education policy, it is one that we are required to enforce—in class, at lunch, and during all breaks.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home.
If you have any questions, I encourage you to respond to this email.
