For absences, please call the Attendance Office directly at 701-446-1710. Feel free to call the attendance number at any time, 24 hours a day, to leave a message. This message should include the name of the person calling, student’s name, ID number, grade, the date(s) and reason they will be absent. If no phone contact has been made, the student must present a written excuse, signed by his/her parent to the attendance office when returning to school. Any absence not verified by phone or note will be considered unexcused.
If you are planning on picking up your student during the school day, please call the Attendance Office as early as possible so that we can get your student a pass and have them ready in the office.
Counseling Office
As school counselors we are tasked with supporting students through Academic, Career and Social/Emotional learning. In the fall, we spend much of our time providing all students with lessons that are geared toward these topics. Our 6th graders will receive instruction on Time Management & Organization as well as Conflict Resolution. 7th graders have lessons on Social Media (and its impact on relationships) and Motivation. While our 8th graders receive lessons through the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center on Sexual Harassment and Healthy Relationships.
Our counselors are:
Ms. Rachel Johnson who serves students with last names beginning with letters A-G
701-446-1715
Ms. Krista Ronnevik who serves students with last names beginning with letters H-N

CBE PTA
Entrance to the Building During School Hours
Fargo Public Schools is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and staff. Part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to do so. The Raptor system will allow us to better screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools to provide us with a safe environment for our students and staff.
Upon entering the school building, visitors will be asked to present an ID, such as a Driver’s License, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent or guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. Once entry into the building is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of their visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
