Back to School information for District 157-C

See new electronic calendar at www.fsd157c.org for all the details

Frankfort School District 157-C is ready to welcome back its students and staff for the new school year! The first day of school for grades K-8 is Wednesday, August 19, and it will be a full day, with regular hours. Please visit the District 157-C website at www.fsd157c.org for more information.

New on the website this year is an electronic school calendar that replaces the paper calendar previously sent out at the beginning of each year. The electronic calendar includes District information and a calendar of events for each school. These calendars will include important school information such as early dismissal dates, testing dates, hot lunch dates, field trip dates, sporting events, etc. and will be updated anytime there is a change to be kept current. The events in each calendar can be added to your personal calendars in several different formats. You will have the ability to download all items via iCal or individual items using the html versions.

Below are some important dates for Grand Prairie Elementary School, Chelsea Intermediate School and Hickory Creek Middle School that are coming up soon:
