Picture Retakes will be on November 9 at Bennett!
This opportunity is for students who missed picture day or for students that would like their picture retaken.
Information from Scherling: Any student can do retakes. We ask that the students that purchased pictures on the original day return the packet of pictures and the same package will be printed with the retake picture at no charge. If students forget the packet of pictures, no pictures will be printed until we receive the old picture packet. If this is the student's first time taking their picture, have them return the order envelope on retake day.
Picture retakes may be ordered online at www.scherling.preorderphotos.com
Access Code: Q49HX7 (Code expires November 9 at 11:59PM)
Dear FPS Families,
This message shares a delayed bus route plan that will occur if Fargo Public Schools experiences a shortage of bus drivers during this school year.
Last winter, FPS canceled several bus routes due to a shortage of bus drivers. This school year, to reduce bus route cancellations and to still provide transportation to school, FPS will run affected bus routes on a one-hour delay. School buildings will still start at their normal time; families are encouraged to transport their students on time, if possible. FPS realizes that not all families can transport their students if their bus route is canceled; instead, we will offer a one-hour delayed route. Affected students will not be counted tardy due to the delay. Please note that students will still receive their specialized instruction as indicated in their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
If a driver shortage occurs, Valley Bus will notify affected riders of select routes by a voice call, email and/or text message to the contact information on file with the school. The message will instruct the rider that their original route pick-up time will run one hour late. An example would be if a student were to be picked up at 7:55 a.m. at 12th Ave. South and 7th Street, the new time would be 8:55 a.m.
Parents can check their child’s normal pick-up time using the “Bus Route by Address” option on the FPS Transportation website. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date in PowerSchool.
Please contact your child’s school if you have any questions.
Back Pack Program
The Back Pack Program is provided to our schools through the Great Plains Food Bank. Each child participant will be given a bag full of kid-friendly, shelf stable food to take home and eat over the weekend. They’ll receive foods like cereal, fruit, granola bars, microwavable meals, snacks, etc. There is NO CHARGE for this program. In order to participate in the Back Pack Program, a parent/guardian must give permission for their child/children to participate. If you would like to be a part of this program, please fill out the attached form and return it to school. If you have any further questions, please reach out to Amy Balluff or Stacie Moffitt, Bennett school counselors.
