From FCUSD 168: We are monitoring the approaching winter weather and expect to be able to have school tomorrow on Tuesday, February 18 with the hope to have a full day of instruction. If conditions worsen significantly, we will have an all-call and message as soon as possible. Please take it slow in the morning.
We thank the West Frankfort Fire Department and the West Frankfort Police Department for providing an escort on a rainy afternoon as , for the first time ever, two FCHS student-athletes have advanced to the IHSA Girls' State Wrestling Tournament to be held on February 28 - March 1 at the Grossinger Motors Arena in downtown Bloomington, Illinois. More information will be posted over the course of the next 10 days as we root for Nikolette Ronketto and Sophia Bechelli as they represent us at State. Congratulations also goes to Coach Rick Arrington and Assistant Coaches Samantha Finn, Marcus Chance, David Butler, and Matt Huff for their efforts in developing this program.

A Message from FCUSD #168: We are watching the Winter Weather forecast. It appears that it may be messy in the morning, but unless conditions deteriorate significantly overnight, we would expect to welcome students back to school on Tuesday morning.
Just take things a little slower and more carefully in the morning. Have a good evening.
