FWCS will provide free breakfast & lunch for children at ALL elementary schools starting Tuesday, March 17. Meals are available by walk-up/drive-up for all kids, regardless of the school they attend, ages birth through high school from 10:30-1:30 daily. Children MUST be present.
Because of the expected dangerously cold temperatures, all FWCS schools and District offices will be CLOSED on Wednesday, Jan. 30. We will continue to monitor the forecast and make a decision tomorrow for Thursday. Please stay inside and stay safe during this extreme weather.
FWCS is closed today because of worsening weather conditions. Our last day of school remains June 3. After five closures, the state reduces the requirement to making up one day for every two closures. As this is our seventh closure, we do not have to make up the day.
All FWCS Schools and District Offices will be closed again on Thursday, Jan. 31. We expect District Offices to reopen Friday and will monitor conditions for students' return over the next 24 hours. With these closures, we will now be in session May 3 and May 17.
Schools will remain closed on Friday because of transportation issues. The buses need time to warm up before running again, and today's temperatures are not warm enough. District offices will be open on Friday.
Like you, we heard the state's announcement that schools will remain closed for the rest of the school year. We know you have many questions, and we do not have all the answers yet. On Monday, teachers will begin posting assignments and holding office hours on PowerSchool.
We are pleased to announce Dr. Mark Daniel has been selected by the FWCS Board as the 15th superintendent to lead FWCS. He begins July 1, following the retirement of Superintendent Dr. Wendy Robinson on June 30. Read more here:

We are aware of social media posts regarding a threat against “SHS.” We have worked closely with police, and it has been determined this is referencing a school in Ohio, not in Fort Wayne. Nevertheless, we will be extra vigilant today with the assistance of local law enforcement.
Today, we announced our Return to Learn plan. We still have many details to work out, and as decisions are made, they will be posted at .
