The money from this fundraiser is designated for positive behavior rewards and school event funding.
We have a limited amount of items ordered, so orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
If you would like to provide a PE uniform for a student in need, please send a check for $27 made payable to CJHS, 1600 E. 9th, West Frankfort, IL 62896.

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.
