Congratulations to Eagles Elementary Staff
Eagles was informed by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction last week that they have been selected as a North Dakota High Performing School!!!
Title I High Performing Schools criteria highlights success within the top 5-10% of Title I schools based on North Dakota’s accountability framework in the school performance indicators.
Additional award criteria include:
- Demonstrated improvement during the last three years
- Fall with the top 10% of Title I schools experiencing growth in the performance indicators

5th Graders visit Discovery Middle School Music Program
5th Grade Music Experience Day is on February 1st at 9:00am. On this day, 5th graders will be bussed to Discovery Middle School for a performance by the Discovery Choir, Band and Orchestra.
Students will also learn about their music class options when they are 6th graders, and will get an up close look at all the instruments.
Please read the attached letter (below) about music class options in middle school.
Also, if your child is interested in trying a band instrument, there will be two sessions (Feb 7 and 9) where 5th graders can try band instruments at Discovery. There is an online scheduler to register for the instrument fitting time that works best for you. Contact Matt Salzer at salzerm@fargoschools.org if you have questions.
School Drop-Off reminders...
- Please pull up as far forward in the drop off zone as you can.
- Do NOT get out of your car in the drop off zone. Allow your child to get out of the car on the right hand side. They should have all items ready to go in the car to ensure a speedy drop-off.
- If you need to provide your child with assistance when getting out, please find a spot to park in the parking lot and walk them in.
