Inclement Weather Procedures

  • When inclement weather comes our way, Franklin Community Schools is ready. There is nothing more important than the safety of our students so FCS has a plan that is executed every time there is consideration of school being delayed or closing due to weather conditions.
     
    Communication with parents is a very important part of the process when the decision is made to delay or cancel classes.  Here are ways to find out if school has been delayed or canceled.
     
    ParentSquare - An automated message is sent out as soon as a decision is made.  If you are not receiving this phone call or if you need to change your contact information, please contact your specific building. 
     
    Media outlets - Check any of these local media outlets:  RTV 6, WISH-TV -8, MyINDY - TV channel 23WTHR - TV13, WXIN - Fox 59WTTV 4, as well as WKKG 101.5, QMIX 107.3, Korn Country 100.3WCBK 102.3, and Z99.5 radio stations.
     
    District Website - Visit the district site, www.franklinschools.org.  An announcement will be placed under the Headline section on the main page.   
     
    Social Media - Follow @myfcs on Twitter or 'like' Franklin Community Schools on Facebook to receive the most up-to-date information on delays and closings.
     
    In the event of a two-hour delay, school will start two hours after the normal start time.  This also means that the bus routes will run two hours after their normal start times.
