📢 IMPORTANT NOTICE for Franklin County Families 📢

In response to SB181, our district has created an electronic verification form that allows staff to communicate with students via platforms not monitored by the district (like social media or text messaging).

🔹 If you wish to allow this communication, please complete the form linked in this post for each staff member.

🔹 If you’ve already signed a paper copy, you’re all set—no need to complete the electronic form again.

🛠️ Here’s what happens after you submit the form:

The guardian fills out the form.
The school employee receives an email from Droplet.
The guardian receives a confirmation email from no-reply@mail.droplet.io.
The school employee reviews and accepts the connection.
The principal receives a notification and reviews the request.
The form is then sent to the district office for final approval.
Once approved, the guardian receives a final confirmation email.
📝 Need help or an alternative format? Contact your school office for assistance.

Thank you for your continued support!
