News and Announcements

For Immediate Release from FCS Athletic Department:

Johnson County is now in Red which means tighter spectator restrictions for athletic events at Franklin Community Schools. Admission will be limited to two tickets per rostered player/manager and should only be from their immediate household.

Info on signing up for the photo sharing site: Shutterfly

Instead of sending out personal invitations for this photo sharing site, we decided to reach out to the masses. If you haven’t signed up to be part of this Franklin Swimming and Diving photo site, please follow the directions below. Photographs from team events and meets are uploaded for you to see! You will LOVE it!

1. Go to Shutterfly Site
This will take you to the Shutterfly site to either sign-in or sign-up.
2. If you are not a member, click the “Don’t have an account. Sign up” button.
3. It will direct you to type your name/message that connects to your email so that a request can be sent for entrance to the site.
4. A request will be sent to the site administrator: Jodi Meinczinger (Jodi was our photographer for past seasons. I have talked to her and she will continue to confirm requests at this time)
5. She will confirm your request and an email will be sent to you with directions on how to access the photos!

Photos have been added from Hall of Fame. Photos will soon be added from Senior Night and the Plainfield meet.

You will want to see these photographs throughout the season so sign-up now so that you won’t miss anything!

Quick Note:
Hopefully, if you ordered clothing through Fan Cloth, it has been delivered to your house. I have been in touch a few times with Kratz, the apparel store for the athletes’ required apparel. They are still waiting on pants and beanies. If those items do not come in SOON, they will send what they have ready for us. I promise you we have not forgotten about apparel and are working to get it passed out to your athlete as soon as it is delivered to FCHS! Thanks for your patience!

Purchasing tickets has changed slightly. Please use the link at the bottom of this announcement.

Please use the following info when you purchase your 2 tickets. The athletic department hopes that this will be easier on everyone involved.

From Bill Doty:
Parents will use the following to order 2 tickets.

For those athletes who were not at school for the athletic pictures in November, the picture make-up date is tomorrow, December 3 directly following school dismissal. Please make sure that your son or daughter has a warm-up at school for picture make-up.

For those of you (LIKE MYSELF) who do not remember from last year about athletic photos:
After speaking with a representative from Lifetouch, photos from our November athletic picture day have not been uploaded to the site yet. She assured me that every athlete would receive a paper proof that would have the necessary information needed to place a picture order. The rep said these should be delivered to the school anywhere from the middle to the end of December. You can preorder photos now using the link I sent out in a previous announcement, but you will not be able to view the actual picture yet that you are ordering. I will keep you updated as more info comes in about ordering photos.
