Counselor’s Corner
In kindergarten-3rd grade, students will learn to stop what they are doing when they are upset, name how they are feeling, and learn how to use techniques to help them calm down.
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.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

INCLEMENT WEATHER INFORMATION
The season of winter storms is upon us, and I want to reaffirm our mutual commitment to the safety of your school children. We maintain close communication with the U.S. Weather Service. When storm conditions develop, we must make the decision as to whether school will be held or not. This decision is based on the general conditions which exist for the majority of Fargo students. Weather conditions and distance to school will vary, however, and parents should use their own judgment in determining if the weather is suitable for their children to make the journey to school on any particular day. 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, you will receive a call from our mass calling system based on the phone numbers supplied to our office. Local media will be notified as well as information posted on web sites. If storm conditions develop during the day and it is determined that an early dismissal is in the best interest of the students, you will receive a call from our mass calling system and media will be notified. Principals will proceed with an orderly dismissal consistent with the instructions provided by parents 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 utmost importance to us.
