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.

A water line was cut near Denning Elementary School a little after 11 this morning. Until it is fixed, Denning has no running water. Therefore, we are dismissing classes for DENNING SCHOOL ONLY at this time. Classes are dismissed is for SIU Pre-K afternoon classes and all Early Childhood, Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade students. Parents and guardians should come to the school to pick up their student. Busses will run for the District at their regular time this afternoon. We will have more updates as they become available. Thanks for your understanding.
