Dear AFC Families,
Today, AFC administration was made aware of a text message threatening the safety of students at AFC Elementary School. We immediately contacted law enforcement authorities. The Lee County Sheriff’s Department determined the threat was not credible and there is no current threat to the safety of AFC students or staff.
Out of an abundance of caution there will be an enhanced police presence at the elementary school tomorrow, April 17th. We encourage you to speak with your children about the importance of reporting threats to an adult immediately as our student's safety is always our number one priority.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Michael Lindy, Superintendent
Ashton-Franklin Center CUSD#275
It is hard to believe that we are only 7 weeks from the close of the 2022-2023 school year. Mark your calendars for upcoming events in May at the Jr/Sr High School. More details to come!
Due to lack of pitchers for West Carroll, there will be no JV baseball game tomorrow, 4/15. The varsity will still play at 10:00.
