A Message from Frankfort CUSD #168. We will have regular dismissal and buses will run on their regular schedule today, Wednesday, May 8, 2024. If weather conditions warrant at that time, we will hold buses longer and will send a message letting everyone know that at that time.
In the meantime, due to the weather forecast, all after-school sports practices have been cancelled at all grade levels.
In addition, the after-school SOAR for all grade levels has been cancelled for today. Finally, our after-school Redbird Roost Program for which parents pick up their students WILL be in session at FIS. We will have those students until you arrange to pick them up.
These are the days for which we practice drills and safety procedures to keep our students and staff as safe as we can. We appreciate and share your concerns as we go through the afternoon and evening. Please be careful.
A big thank you to our West Frankfort Rotary Club for hosting the 8th grade Top Ten lunch today at LaFiesta.

Final Update from Frankfort CUSD #168 Re: Denning Elementary School Water situation. Thanks to the West Frankfort Water Department, water service HAS BEEN RESTORED to Denning School. Therefore, SCHOOL WILL BE in SESSION at DENNING and ALL SCHOOLS in the FCUSD #168 area on Thursday, April 25, 2024. Denning and the surrounding neighborhood are under a boil water order and we will be making arrangements to work through that as we welcome students back in the morning. Again, we thank everyone who helped make for a smooth dismissal today. We have seen our students shine in these situations in several schools at several times this year.
An update from Frankfort CUSD #168 and Denning Elementary School: We thank everyone for their patience and cooperation as we had to make the call to dismiss our youngest students early this afternoon. The remaining students who are not being picked up are being transported to Frankfort Intermediate School to catch their bus or attend Redbird Roost after school. All District schools will be in session tomorrow, Thursday, April 24. If there is any change to that schedule, we will have an update posted at approximatly 7:30 this evening.
