From FCUSD 168: For one more day, there will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for students in Frankfort CUSD #168 . After seeing if multiple vehicles could get down roads and pedestrians have a place to walk to bus stops, we are taking one more day for further clearing. Please stay safe.
From FCUSD 168: As we continue to move the snow and find a place to put it across the community, there will be no school in Frankfort CUSD #168 on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Practices may take place and will be announced by the coaches. Any other scheduled activities status will be announced tomorrow. Continue to stay safe and we will talk again tomorrow.
From FCUSD 168: We are aware that there are some issues with the audio on our cancellation calls as our provider is located in Arkansas in the middle of the worst of the ice. We will continue to monitor the call quality. We'll talk again tomorrow.
