KINDERGARTEN PREREGISTRATION INFORMATION đź“Ł
Preregistration for 2023 - 2024 kindergarten students opens on our website on March 1, 2023.
Children must be five years old on, or before, July 31, 2023 to attend kindergarten in 2023 - 2024. Prior to the first day of school, each registered child must provide a digital copy of a current immunization record, proof of identity (birth certificate, visa, I-94, or other government-issued ID), and proof of residency. Paper copies can be scanned at your neighborhood school.
Families requiring technical assistance in the kindergarten preregistration process may schedule an appointment with the district registrar by calling (701) 499-1067.

HORACE ELEMENTARY BUS -February 27 -March 3: NO BUS 23 Route, am and pm routes!
SCHEDULE for canceled bus routes.🚍
Since the week of January 23, 2023, West Fargo Public Schools has been forced to cancel multiple bus routes each week. Due to the chronic bus driver shortage, WFPS will unfortunately need to continue cancelling routes each week for the foreseeable future. A schedule of all district bus routes was randomly generated to determine the order in which routes will be cancelled; click HERE to view the schedule.
The official determination of how many and which routes will be cancelled each week will be made and communicated to impacted families and schools no later than 5:00PM every Wednesday.
It is the district’s hope that the driver situation improves; efforts are being made to recruit regular route drivers as well as individuals (including existing coaching staff) interested in driving activity routes. If you or someone you know (including current staff members) is interested in driving a route before school, after school, or for activities, please contact our Director of Transportation, Brad Redmond, to discuss possibilities. There is no simple solution to this problem; it will take all of us to come up with creative solutions and minimize disruptions to our learners’ routines.
