Remote Learning for Future Snow Days (if needed)
Any additional snow days this year will be remote learning days for all Carl Ben Eielson students. During remote learning days we will follow our regular class schedule with teachers zooming with students to start each class period to provide instruction. Students will then have work to complete independently.
Attendance will be based on student attendance to zoom meetings and/or work completion.
To access remote learning students will be logging into their Canvas account and teachers will have zoom links and other information posted to their class pages.
Please have a conversation with your child about the importance of bringing their PLD (computer) home and other materials they may need each night as we finish out winter and look toward spring.

FPS Delayed Bus Route Plan 2022-23
Last winter, Fargo Public Schools canceled several bus routes due to a shortage of bus drivers. This school year, to reduce bus route cancellations and to still provide transportation to school, FPS will run affected bus routes on a one-hour delay. School buildings will still start at their normal time; families are encouraged to transport their students on time, if possible. FPS realizes that not all families can transport their students if their bus route is canceled; instead, we will offer a one-hour delayed route. Affected students will not be counted tardy due to the delay. Please note that students will still receive their specialized instruction as indicated in their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
If a driver shortage occurs, Valley Bus will notify affected riders of select routes by a voice call, email and/or text message to the contact information on file with the school. The message will instruct the rider that their original route pick-up time will run one hour late. An example would be if a student were to be picked up at 7:55 a.m. at 12th Ave. South and 7th Street, the new time would be 8:55 a.m.
Parents can check their child’s normal pick-up time using the “Bus Route by Address” option on the FPS Transportation website. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date in PowerSchool.
