Open Houses Taking Place Today and Wednesday for Franklin County Students

School starts Thursday for Franklin County students and just a reminder that today and tomorrow open houses will be taking place at all schools.

Today an open house will take place at all elementary schools from 3p to 6p and on Wednesday, August 4 at the middle school and the high school from 10a to 6p.

The open houses are also an opportunity for students who ride the school bus to find out which bus they will be riding on and to learn where their pick-up and drop-off locations will be.

Additionally, meningitis and Tdap vaccine clinics are taking place Wednesday for all middle and high school students who need them from 11a to 12:30 at the middle school and from 2p to 4p at the high school.

District 2 Public Health Spokeswoman Natasha Young said Georgia now requires 11th-grade students to get their meningitis booster.

New incoming students from out of state must also be vaccinated for meningitis.

Students are not required to get the COVID vaccine but it will be available for those students 12 and up who want it.
