Dear Franklin Families,
Here at FPS, we continue to grieve for the families of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and we remain highly conscious of the responsibility we have to protect the safety of our students and staff. It has been difficult to find enough words to express our sorrow for the senseless loss of the lives of the students and teachers.
This past week has been challenging for our school community and school communities throughout the country. We applaud our building administrators and faculty/staff for working together to support students, families, and each other during this difficult time.
Safety remains our highest priority in Franklin’s schools. In October, we provided a school safety presentation to the School Committee and shared a letter with the community containing more specific information without compromising our safety measures with the public. We are re-sharing both resources for your reassurance. We also continually enhance our safety protocols and systems as new information, new technologies, and revised practices become available.
So that these links are close at hand, we continue to share links to a few resources:
- Helping your children manage distress in the aftermath of a shooting: https://www.apa.org/.../gun-violence.../shooting-aftermath
- Talking to children about terrorist attacks and school and community shootings in the news: https://www.schoolcrisiscenter.org/.../Guidelines-Talking...
- Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers: https://www.nasponline.org/.../talking-to-children-about...
- School Safety Presentation: https://www.franklinps.net/.../10_12_21_fps_school_safety...
With love and care,
Franklin Public Schools
