Masks During School

West Fargo Public Schools is starting the school year as masks recommended for unvaccinated students and staff. If you would like your child to wear a mask during the day, please let your child’s teacher know. Our staff will work with your child to consistently and correctly wear their mask during the day, similar to how we work with students that need to wear glasses. If your child has difficulty wearing their mask consistently and correctly, or outright refuses, their teacher will setup a meeting with you to discuss how we can continue to best support your desire for your child to be masked while at school. 

Masks on Bus

Federal law requires anyone using public transportation, which school buses are considered, to be masked while onboard. If a student boards the bus without a mask, one will be provided to them. If your student is a bus rider, please send them with a mask and/or encourage them to wear their mask consistently and correctly while on the bus. Since the driver is often the only adult onboard, your help in encouraging mask-wearing would be greatly appreciated!

Medication & Care Plans for Fall Registration

If your student has a medical condition, dietary accommodations, or takes medication during the school day for any reason, please ensure the proper paperwork and health care plans have been completed prior to registration on August 2nd 2021.  

Please note: A well-child check document does not take the place of a sports physical for athletics.  Please have your physician complete a sports physical if your child anticipates participating in any athletic activity during the 2021-2022 school year. 

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.
