An update from FCUSD 168: Just as we posted the previous message about the power outage at Denning Elementary School and the west side of town on our website and social media platform a few moments ago, the power came back on. We will run slightly delayed lunch periods, but we will continue normal operations for the rest of the day at Denning and across the District. I am also sending this message as a text to Denning Elementary families.
A message from FCUSD 168: there is currently an electrical outage on the west side of town that includes Denning Elementary School. We anticipate power restoration shortly so that we can get back to normal operations. If that changes, we will update everyone as soon as possible. Our students have been having a good morning as we welcomed everyone back to school from break today and start the second semester. Please be aware that the school's phone lines are currently down for incoming calls. At this point, calls can be directed to the unit office.
Good Luck to our HS girls basketball team tonight as they travel to Anna!
