Winter Gear
Parents, please be sure to have your child prepared for winter weather. Unfortunately, we have several students that come to school without hats, boots, and mittens. Please help your child be ready for cold weather recess. They may want a change of clothes/shoes if theirs get wet. Students do need tennis shoes for gym classes. If you need assistance with items, please contact Mrs. Jorgenson or Mrs. Broe.
Birthday Invitation Reminders
Please see the information about birthday invitations from the Elementary Student Handbook.
If your child is going to bring invitations to school for a party at home, all the children in the class must be invited. If you aren't inviting all the children in the class, do not bring the invitations to school; mail or hand-deliver the invitations.

The conferences offer a wonderful opportunity for parents and teachers to discuss student progress and to plan for the future growth of each child.

All conferences will be in person or you can choose virtual again this spring.

Kindergarten Registration Opens February 1
Kindergarten Registration for Fargo Public Schools opens one week from today on February 1. If your child turns 5 by July 31, 2024, they are eligible to attend school in the fall. Visit fargo.k12.nd.us/registration to learn more about the registration process.
February Counselor’s Corner
In February guidance lessons will focus on various social and emotional skills, emotion management, and conflict resolution:
In kindergarten, students will learn strategies to help them when they have to wait for something or someone.
In first grade, students will continue to learn about coping skills.
In second grade, students will learn various conflict resolution strategies such as taking turns, compromising, and using I messages.
In third grade, students will review and continue to sharpen their conflict resolution strategies such as taking turns, compromising, and using “I messages”.
In fourth grade, students will be introduced to problem solving steps that can help them when they are in conflicts with friends and classmates. The problem-solving steps form an acronym that is the word STEP: S-Say the problem, T-Think of solutions, E-Explore consequences, and P-Pick the best solution.
In fifth grade, students will learn to generate safe and respectful solutions to a problem, identify consequences of potential solutions, and select an appropriate solution to a problem.
If you have any questions, please let us know! Steffanie Jorgenson CBH 446-4418 Lexi Broe Hawthorne 446-4508
