Inclement Weather Decisions and Notifications
When winter weather arrives, there may be times when weather conditions force schools to be closed or to be dismissed early. These decisions are made district-wide and are the same for every Massac Unit #1 School. If the district decides to make a change to the schedule, it is communicated as quickly as possible. Every effort will be made to notify parents/guardians of any change. Such information will be made through the district’s Remind (text-message alerts), the district website at www.unit1.massac.org, and through local television/radio stations. To receive alerts and other notifications from our school, please text the code @franklines to 81010.
E-Learning Days
Massac Unit #1 has created a plan in order to have the option of using E-Learning days in place of emergency days in future school years. An E-learning plan is required for districts to utilize e-learning in place of emergency days such as snow days. This is different than remote learning that we are currently experiencing due to CoVID-19. E-Learning days can only be used in place of up to five emergency (snow days) during a normal school year.
E-Learning Plans Specific to Franklin School are posted on the school website, under the E-Learning Plans Tab. Student should follow the E-Learning schedule provided by their teacher. https://franklin.massac.org/e-learning-plans
E-Learning Day Resources for Students & Parents are posted on our District Website.

ALL students are eligible for FREE breakfast and lunch at school this year. Two choices will be offered each day.
Students have the option to eat breakfast at school between 7:45-8:20 a.m. Lunch times vary by grade level. The 40-minute lunch period includes time for lunch and lunch recess.
