Cross Country Opportunity for 4th and 5th Graders! I wanted to let all of you know about an after school opportunity for the 4th and 5th graders. We will be having a SHORT cross country season, complete with two cross country meets both at Elephant Park. Please see the details below.

1. Practices will be Mondays and Thursdays right after school until about 3:40.

2. Our season will be done after the race on Tuesday, October 1st.

3. If there are conflicts during the practice time, it is fine if they miss. It's a VERY laid back practice. Just trying to introduce the sport and have some fun.

4. The final meet is Tuesday Oct 1st. at 4:30 at Elephant Park. The October 1st race is a mile.

5. There is no practice on the days of the meets.

6. There is no transportation to the meets. Parents are responsible for getting their child to and from Elephant Park.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Mrs. Kaldor kaldora@fargo.k12.nd.us 701-446-5047

THANK YOU!

We have great news!

In collaboration with Valley Bus and the software company, the Here Comes the Bus App is up and running. You can see if your student has scanned on or off the bus. You will need their student ID to log in. You can find that in your PowerSchool. To download the app, there is a link on the district website under Transportation or we are attaching instructions here.

School Menus (both breakfast and lunch) are available on the school website and/or the district website under Nutrition Services. While menus are subject to change on occasion, this is your best resource to check and help your students plan for each day. Make sure on the left hand side at the top, you are selecting breakfast or lunch (whichever one you are seeking) and on the right top that you use the drop down list to select Longfellow Elementary as daily menus can vary from school to school. Bon Appetit!

On the take home sheet, it is accidentally listed that the Den Meeting will be October 10. The correct date is October 11th.

Parents: We need YOUR help to make this event a success!

Please consider volunteering during your student’s P.D. time to help direct traffic and hand out bracelets for each lap completed on the walking course.

Due to the volume of items we collect in the Lost and Found, we will now be donating all useable items and discarding non-useable items at the close of the day (2:37) on the last day of class for each month. Please be checking the table outside of the office regularly.

If your student has an appointment, is ill, is running late, please remember to contact the office.
