All FWSU schools will be closed today. Our road crews need more time to clear the drifting snow. Enjoy the snow. We will see you tomorrow.
All FWSU schools will be on a two hour delay Monday February 17. This will allow our road crews to assess road conditions and catch up. We will advise if conditions change by 7:30 tomorrow morning.
Due to the unpredictability of the afternoon weather and liklihood of freezing rain during our afternoon travel, all FWSU schools will be closed today (2/13/25). Stay safe and enjoy the winter weather!

Last week, the Champlain Valley Superintendents Association (CVSA) met to review our decision to have school in session on April 8th, the solar eclipse day. Since our initial decision to have a half day, we have received more information trying to keep any traffic off the road that day from the state of Vermont and other Public Safety offices. The superintendents determined that each county of superintendents would decide whether the school would be open or closed. Due to the fact that our schools are in the path of the totality and will attract a large number of eclipse observers, the Franklin and Grand Isle Superintendents have determined that on April 8th, we will close schools and make up the day at the end of the year, very similar to a snow day.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
All FWSU Schools will be on a two hour delay due to uncertain road conditions and power outages. Please be safe and stay tuned for updates.
At their meeting Tuesday evening, the Fletcher School Board voted to appoint Denette Locke as the Principal for Fletcher Elementary for the 2024-25 school year (and the rest of this year!).
The Board praised Denette's communication with staff, community, and the board as well as her commitment to and passion for the Fletcher school.
We are thrilled that Denette will transition from Interim Principal to Principal!
Congratulations Denette!

All FWSU Schools (Fletcher, Fairfax, and Georgia) will be on a two hour delay this morning due to road closures that will impact buses and staffing.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling all after school and evening activities at any Franklin West school (Fairfax, Fletcher, and Georgia) today. We are monitoring river conditions for potential impact on travel in the morning. We will update you as we have new information.
All Franklin West schools (Fletcher, Fairfax and Georgia) will be closed today due to the morning commute snow rates and continued snow throughout the day.
Enjoy the snow day.
