Letter to Franklin County R-II Families

November 20, 2020

Dear R-II Families,

As many of you probably know, the Franklin County Commissioner mandated a mask ordinance effective today, November 20th. The mandate runs to December 20th. I have included the link to the County Commisioner’s mandate below:

https://www.franklinmo.org/vertical/sites/%7B5730E807-248F-430C-88E4-9222B8E63B07%7D/uploads/2020-554_Mask_Mandate.pdf

Effective today, students in fourth through eighth grade will be required to wear their masks the entire day unless they can maintain 6 feet of distance. We do encourage our younger grades to also wear masks when not socially distanced, but the mandate specifically states 10 years of age and older.

Students may remove their masks while:

Outdoors/recess when able to maintain 6 feet of distance
Exercising outdoors or indoors when able to maintain 6 feet from others
When engaging in sporting activities
While eating in the cafeteria

We are requiring masks for all ages on the bus from today until December 18th. Since the virus is so widespread in our area, we are taking extra precautions so we can try to avoid a virtual learning situation. Our re-entry plan will be updated to reflect these changes through December 18th.

Again, I want to thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.

Respectfully,

Kathy Oetterer

Letter to Franklin County R-II Families

September 11, 2020

Dear R-II Families,

The USDA has extended the program our District utilized last spring during the closure to
provide free breakfast and lunch to ALL students 18 and under through December 22,
2020, or until the Federal money is no longer available. Beginning Monday, September 14,
students will only need money in their lunch accounts for extra milk. All students
automatically qualify for free breakfast and lunch and do not need to apply for this
discount.

Additionally, all children in the community ages 1-18 qualify for free breakfast and lunch.
Parents can sign up their children that do not attend school by completing a survey that can
be found on our website. The survey has also been sent to the email we have on file. This
survey will close at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15. Once registration is complete,
additional details will be shared about when and where meals can be picked up. If a need
arises after this form closes, please call the district office at 573-237-2414.

Respectfully,

Kathy Oetterer
Principal

Welcome, Mrs. Kathy Oetterer!

Kathy Oetterer

On behalf of the Franklin County R-2 Board of Education, it is with our great pleasure to officially welcome Mrs. Kathy Oetterer as our new Principal/Superintendent. Earlier this year we received interest from many talented and qualified candidates. After careful consideration we knew Kathy would be the best fit for our district.

Kathy is certainly no stranger as she has spent over 24 years of her career at R-2. She has made this school her home and those within its walls her family. She rises to this position with an extensive educated background, as well as many awards. We have no doubt that she will succeed in this new role and lead the District forward in a positive direction.

Please join us in welcoming Kathy Oetterer. We look forward to a fresh start on the new school year.

Sincerely,

Nathan Parmentier
President, Board of Education
