New Visitor Management System Trial
The Fargo Public Schools (FPS) Emergency Management team has been working diligently to upgrade our visitor management systems throughout the District. Two schools, Lewis & Clark Elementary School and Lincoln Lincoln Elementary School, were chosen to pilot a new system called Raptor Technologies. The main goals are to get rid of the paper sign in/out system and provide a second layer of security for our students and staff.
The biggest use of Raptor will be to check in visitors. Those entering the buildings will scan their driver’s license or their state issued ID. The Raptor system then uses that information to check sex offender databases to ensure student safety. Raptor also checks our custom database to confirm there is no custody alert for the individuals trying to check in. Once individuals are cleared during a quick process, they will select the location they plan to visit with a variety of options (gym, cafeteria, conference room, office, etc.). The system then prints off stickers for the visitors to wear while in the building with their picture, name, and where they are going.
The system can also check in staff by scanning FPS ID badges. Staff do not need a visitor sticker printed off as they are to wear their FPS badge; however, building staff need to know visiting staff members are in the building in case of an emergency, evacuation, or shelter in place order.
Raptor also has the capacity to check students in and out. If a student shows up late due to missing a bus or an appointment, they can check in at the kiosk and print off a sticker to give to their teacher.
There is also a contractor function that allows outside maintenance and constructions crews to check in efficiently by using their driver’s license or state issued ID. This function tells the District that the individual may be in more obscure areas of the building due to type of work they are doing (boilers, air conditioning units, etc.).
This technology is a much needed and welcomed change to the Fargo Public School District. As we upgrade cameras, access control, and vape sensors in the building for safety, this addition ensures greater safety as FPS moves forward. After the tests at Lincoln and Lewis & Clark are complete, and we will measure the reliability, speed, and effectiveness of this system. If those results are satisfactory, the goal is to roll out this technology to all the schools in the district, pending funding.

Virtual Academy
Parents,
In the 2020-2021 school year, Fargo Public Schools was able to provide the Virtual Academy for students and families because of an executive order by Governor Burgum. Currently, that order is slated to expire at the end of the school year; legislative action would be needed to continue offering this type of setting. As a result, all students enrolled in the Virtual Academy in the 2020-2021 school year will be enrolled back at their neighborhood school for the 2021-2022 school year. This helps assure that we have your student assigned a teacher for the 2021-2022 school year.
If future legislative action allows for North Dakota schools to offer virtual programming for students, Fargo Public Schools would complete a process to review the viability of implementing a sustainable virtual academy. FPS has experienced successes and also learned many lessons over the course of this school year that would be considered if a virtual school was allowed to continue.
Hope this finds you all doing well!

Lincoln Title 1
Title I: What you Need to Know
As a Title I school, Lincoln Elementary receives federal funds for Title I programs that are part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). As a recipient of these funds, Lincoln Elementary has committed itself to providing enriching learning activities for its stakeholders and sharing responsibility with both parents and students to improve academic achievement, as outlined in the School-Parent Compact. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary is required to notify parents of particular components outlined in the law. Through the Interactive Dashboard, parents are able to be notified regarding the performance measures outlined in the state’s accountability system. The Parents Right to Know document is also a valuable resource as it lays out what information parents have the right to request and ascertain from the school regarding topics like the professional qualifications of staff, state and local policy, and parental rights regarding student participation in mandated assessments. Additionally, the District School Parent and Family Engagement Policy outlines what actions FPS and the school will be taking to provide effective parent and family engagement activities to improve student achievement and school performance. Copies of each of these documents can be found below, and you are encouraged to read through them.
