Judges Wanted for our 7th Grade "Hawk Day" STEM Event

What:

• “Hawk Day” is a full day event that allows students to use STEM along with 21st century skills to solve real, present-day problems. Students will be placed into groups. Each group will need to create their company name and designate individual STEM jobs. They will have 4-5 hours to create a solution-centered proposal to be presented during a board room judging session.
• Our topic is: Pollution Solution – learners will identify one of the many pollution problems impacting our earth and work with their companies to brainstorm a solution.
• As a judge, you will use a rubric to evaluate their prototype, design, and presentation. You will judge in a boardroom (think "Shark Tank") with 1-2 other judges.

When: Friday February 17th from 1pm-3pm.

If you are able to join us for this exciting event, please email Callie Navarathne (cnavarathne@west-fargo.k12.nd.us) by Friday, February 3rd.

Appointment Reminder

Who do I notify if my student will be absent or late for school, or needs to leave early? Call the Office at 356-5910 by 9:00 a.m. (if you get a voicemail, leave us a message with your name, student’s name, and reason for absence or leaving early – it will be checked regularly), or email heritage@west-fargo.k12.nd.us

If I pick my student up early, do I have to call ahead? Do I have to come into the building to get them or can they just come out? Always call ahead of time when possible. We prefer you call in, rather than come into the office. Once your student has checked out in the front office, they can walk out when they see you have arrived.

When returning a student to school after an appointment, do I have to come in with them? No, you can call the office to report their appointment. Please send the student in and direct them to report to the front office. If they have been to a medical appointment, they should bring a note from the medical office whenever possible.

Where/how do I drop an item off for a student? 

Please only drop off necessary items when needed. All items should be dropped off in the main office, clearly labeled with the student’s first and last name (except for medications, which should go to the Nurse). Any floral or balloon deliveries will be held in the main office until the end of the day, when the student will be informed of the delivery and may come pick it up. Singing telegrams or similar deliveries are disruptive to the classroom learning environment and will not be accepted.  We do not accept outside food orders/deliveries. Students may elect to bring in their own sack lunch or they have the option to eat school lunch.
