District News & Updates

ONLINE REGISTRATION

Every student, whether returning to us or new to us, must register to attend school for the 2020-21 school year. Our preferred method for all families to register their children is through our new online platform. While still scheduled, the registration events the week of August 3 will look different than they have in the past. School staff will be available by appointment only for support in completing the registration paperwork. If you are able to complete the online registration process on your own, you do not need to come to the school. There will be no informational booths, activities signup, photos, schedule distribution for middle and high school students, or school tours offered the week of August 3. Class schedules for middle and high school students will be made available later in August once additional details are confirmed regarding our reentry plan.

Online Registration
You must have a Parent Portal account in order to utilize the online registration system.

Setting Up a Parent Portal Account
To setup a Parent Portal account, navigate to the login page and select CREATE ACCOUNT > CREATE ACCOUNT. Follow the questions to enter your first name, your last name, your email address, your desired username, and your chosen password.

Select LINK STUDENTS TO ACCOUNT and follow the questions to enter your child's name, the associated access ID for the child, the associated password, and the relationship you have to the child. Repeat these steps to add additional children to your single sign-on account.

Please note that the Parent Portal account setup process works better on a computer rather than a mobile device. For additional questions, please review our registration webpage or contact your child’s school.

With so many unknowns, we want to ensure that West Fargo Public Schools is prepared for whatever comes at us in the 2020-21 school year. To do that, we needed to know from staff and families alike, “How did we do with distance learning?”

Mental Health Month

While one in five people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health. The good news is there are practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency - and there are ways that everyone can be supportive of friends, family, and co-workers who are struggling with life’s challenges or their mental health.

Embracing the Opportunity to Innovate

History has proven that innovations are born out of necessity, and often in the time of crisis. It makes me think of the old saying, “don’t let a good crisis go to waste,” and WFPS has certainly not been wasting this time apart from our students!

The Census determines North Dakota's portion for all federal funds for the next 10 years. For example, the $1.45 billion in federal funds the state received in 2015 was based on the resident counts from the 2010 Census.
