Spartan Spotlight

Welcome to another exciting school year at Fargo North High School! We are thrilled to soon welcome our students back and are eager to embark on a year filled with learning, growth, and achievements. As we start this new school year, we want to highlight the importance of "Spartan Pride." This embodies our commitment to excellence, respect, and community spirit. We encourage every student to take pride in our school, our community, and in themselves, striving for their best in all their endeavors.

This year, we have a range of exciting activities planned, leading up to the first day of school on Wednesday, August 28th. For our incoming 9th graders, families have been notified with an assigned date and time for 9th grade orientation which will be held Monday, August 12th, Tuesday, August 13th, and Wednesday, August 14th. This orientation is a fantastic opportunity for our new Spartans to become familiar with the school and its offerings. If you have not received the information or have any questions, please contact Nikki in our Counseling & Career Center at 701-446-2412. Upperclassmen (incoming Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) will need to pick up their class schedules, PLDs, and have their school pictures taken on Wednesday, August 7th from 8 am to 3 pm. Please ensure these dates are noted in your calendar.

We are also excited to announce our "Back 2 School" event on Monday, August 26th from 4 pm to 7 pm for all students and families. This event will provide an excellent opportunity for attendees to meet their teachers, walk through their schedules, and attend breakout sessions on various important topics such as PowerSchool and EBR grades, NCAA eligibility, Vaping education, Choice Ready and Scholarship qualification, and Cell Phone usage in school. Plus, we will be grilling free hot dogs for everyone to enjoy.

We ask all Parents/Guardians to complete their student’s annual registration forms and make any necessary fee payments online before the orientation/registration dates mentioned above. These steps can be accessed through the Parent/Guardian’s Powerschool account. Additionally, I encourage all Parents/Guardians to discuss with your student the importance of:

• Attending school daily, punctually, and prepared to learn.

• Utilizing the support available during Spartan Period, which is held every Monday – Thursday from 8:05 – 8:40 am. This is a valuable time for students to seek additional help from their teachers.

• Participating in extracurricular activities, whether in sports, fine arts, or clubs. Involvement helps build a sense of community and fosters personal growth.

Please note, the August newsletter is the only one you will receive via the US Postal Service. All subsequent newsletters will be sent electronically as email attachments. Families, Staff, and Students all play a vital role in helping the remarkable be achieved. So let’s gear up, embrace our Spartan spirit, and tackle the year ahead with enthusiasm and determination. We look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together!

Sincerely,

Travis Christensen
Principal

Through BrightArrow, FPS will send emails, phone calls and text messages to staff and families to keep them updated on school happenings, emergency situations, and school cancelations.

Please opt-in to receive text messages from Fargo Public Schools. FPS has switched to a new mass communication system for the 2024-25 school year and you MUST opt-in to receive text messages from FPS.

For the school year 2024-2025, a second dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) is required for students entering eleventh or twelfth grade. Students will need proof of two doses of MCV4 before returning to school in the fall.

Ideally, children should receive one dose of MCV4 when they are eleven to twelve years old and a booster dose on or after their sixteenth birthday. Please schedule with your child’s health care provider or your local public health. Please have your child receive this booster prior to the start of the school year. Also, remember to bring in the documentation of the immunization date to the school.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on-time childhood immunizations are essential because they help provide immunity before kids are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. As that protection wears off, teens need vaccines to extend protection. Being up-to-date with immunizations is critical in keeping kids and communities safe and healthy.

Fargo Cass Public Health will hold back-to-school vaccine clinics on August 7, 14, 21 and 27, from 8 am – 4 pm. Fargo Cass Public Health is located at 1240 25th St S, Fargo.

Appointments are required and can be made by calling the Fargo Cass Public Health Clinic at 701.241.1383. Visit Fargo Cass Public Health website for more information.
