Reminder!
Statement regarding the Scheduling Conflict of Jr High State Baseball and Regional Cross Country meets:
Requests have been made to the appropriate State and Regional Contest Coordinators in order to try and accommodate our students who have conflicts in participation in two state events at the same time on Tuesday, 10/7.
While we understand parents want to assist in making it possible for both teams to be successful, when the proper chain of command is not being followed, it creates more barriers than help, which has resulted in the SIJHSAA declaring that both events will continue as currently scheduled.
We hate that students are made to choose between two events that are equally important, but we ask that everyone respect this personal decision by the students and their families.
Mrs. Jacobs's Art of Math elective created a large Sierpinski Triangle out of small Sierpinski triangles! Check out the close ups of some of the triangles!

Statement Regarding Incident Near Denning Elementary School
The following is an update on the situation earlier this morning that caused Denning Elementary School to observe "Secure" protocol.
From 168-Denning was in Secure mode for 20 min. due to a report of gun in neighborhood. All are safe.
From FCUSD 168: Water service is restored to CJHS/ASC. We will continue our regular school day with a Boil Order.
The WF Water Dept is currently repairing a line that feeds CJHS/ASC. FIS is not affected. CJHS students have clean drinking water & we will utilize FIS & escort student there for restroom facilities.. A Boil order will follow.
Hey Dad, it’s time to peck away at that tough conversation about underage drinking. It’s not easy, but now’s the time to ruffle some feathers and talk to your kids about the risks. For more info, visit: theelephantisintheroom.com
Congratulations to the 2025-2026 Student Council Members.
Statement Regarding Incident at Football Scrimmage
At Friday evening’s scrimmage between Frankfort Community High School and Johnston City High School at Johnson Field in West Frankfort, those in attendance may have observed an individual being removed by officers from the West Frankfort Police Department. District administrators had been informed of a juvenile who might have a weapon. The juvenile was quickly located and it was determined that he had an airsoft gun in his possession. The WFPD then removed him from the scene. The juvenile was not a student of Frankfort Community High School nor Johnston City High School.
We thank our vigilant students, school administration and staff, and WFPD officers for helping to identify and resolve this situation quickly and safely. Administrators from West Frankfort and Johnston City have been in communication with each other regarding what was an isolated incident. As we keep our friends in Kentucky in the Mayfield and Graves County school communities in our thoughts after an incident at their football game this evening, we will continue to work to keep our students and the public safe so they can enjoy events like tonight’s meet the team activities and scrimmage.

Thanks to some additional sharp-eyed proofreaders, there is an August 12 update to the Parent-Student Handbook that is now posted on the District's websites. There were no policy changes, just some clean up of some grammar and wording. Thanks for those who have read and assisted us in this project.
All school buses should now be on their way home as it was a little slow going on this first day of school. Bus and car traffic should smooth out the next few days as everyone gets used to the new routine and we work to keep traffic moving on the side streets around the schools. Please remember to not leave our cars unattended in the loading zones. We will see you all tomorrow.
