Medication Pickup
If your learner has a medication (prescription or over the counter) in the school office, it will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian by Thursday June 1st. All medications not picked up by June 1st will be disposed of. The only exception is if your learner will be attending summer school, then the medication can remain in the office during that time frame but must be picked up by the end of the summer school session. Summer office hours are Monday-Thursday, 8:00am – 12:00pm. If you would like to make arrangements to pick up meds, please contact the school office at 701-356-5910. You can also email the school nurse at cmisheski@west-fargo.k12.nd.us with any questions.

Health Information Reminder
At the end of this school year, West Fargo Public School Nursing staff will be mailing the 2023-2024 health paperwork for learners who have conditions such as allergies, asthma, seizures, diabetes, or any other medical concern that would require medication and/or nursing intervention and accommodations. This paperwork is required every year and must be updated for our system. Please reach out to Nurse Courtenay Misheski (cmisheski@west-fargo.k12.nd.us) if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s medical needs and required paperwork for the 2023-2024 school year.

Bus Routes
Since the week of January 23, 2023, West Fargo Public Schools has been forced to cancel multiple bus routes each week. Due to the chronic bus driver shortage, WFPS will unfortunately need to continue cancelling routes each week for the foreseeable future. A schedule of all district bus routes was randomly generated to determine the order in which routes will be cancelled; click HERE to view the schedule.
The official determination of how many and which routes will be cancelled each week will be made and communicated to impacted families and schools no later than 5:00PM every Wednesday.
It is the district’s hope that the driver situation improves; efforts are being made to recruit regular route drivers as well as individuals (including existing coaching staff) interested in driving activity routes. If you or someone you know (including current staff members) is interested in driving a route before school, after school, or for activities, please contact our Director of Transportation, Brad Redmond, to discuss possibilities. There is no simple solution to this problem; it will take all of us to come up with creative solutions and minimize disruptions to our learners’ routines.

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.
