HMR Families,

We want to personally thank you for the gift of allowing our team to work with your children every day. We are grateful for our partnership with you. The partnership between school and home is instrumental in enhancing student growth over the academic year. Our staff depends on your partnership to help our students reach their potential, guide them through social emotional moments, and work together to build and sustain a solid foundation for academic and life skills.

It is an honor to serve our families and students at HMR. This season, let’s focus on celebrating the small wins, our collective resilience, and our strength as we continue to work together for the sake of our children.

Much Joy, Laughter, and Love,

Mrs. Ostrom

Winter Break will be from Friday, December 22nd through Monday, January 1st. There will be no school during this time and classes will resume Tuesday, January 2rd.

The season of winter storms is upon us. We want you to know that we are committed to keeping our school children safe. When storm conditions develop Fargo Public Schools must make a decision to hold school or not. This decision is based on weather conditions that exist for the majority of Fargo students. If school is in session and it is your decision that your child should remain at home, that decision will be respected by the school.

If school is called off, Automated calls will be made to all families. Local radio and television stations will be notified as early as possible. School closing notices will also be posted on the internet via the weather section of In Forum. If storm conditions develop during the day and it is determined that an early dismissal is in the best interest of the students, the media will be notified and principals will proceed with an orderly dismissal of school. Elementary principals will dismiss students consistent with instructions provided on the emergency/weather school closing form.

We appreciate your continued cooperation and understanding in this important matter. Be assured that the well-being of your children is of the utmost importance to us.

Please update your Powerschool Information TODAY!!

Please remind your children to dress warmly for their walk to and from school as well as noon recess. Mittens, gloves, hats, snow pants, scarves and boots become essential for a North Dakota winter. We use wind chill temperatures to help us decide whether students go outside for recess. Our magic number is –10°F bundle up and get ready for winter.

Is your family living in any of the following?

• A shelter, motel, car or campground
