Safe Routes to School Study
In 2019, the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments (Metro COG) is working with the City of Fargo to create a Safe Routes to School plan. The goal of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) plans and programs is to increase the number of students walking and biking to school through encouragement and education programs, as well as physical improvements to streets and sidewalks.
The 2019 Fargo SRTS Plan will recommend how to make walking and biking to school easier, safer and more comfortable for students and families. Recommended improvements will be made for all elementary and middle schools within the City of Fargo including Fargo Public Schools, West Fargo Public Schools, and Private Schools.
In the upcoming months, there will be a number of exciting activities involving the school community. Parent and caregiver surveys will be sent home (either electronically or hard copy) to gather valuable insight from families about walking and biking to school. Later in the spring, project staff and other members of the school community will be visiting each school to observe arrival and dismissal and assess walking and biking conditions near schools. There will also be four public open houses held around the City to talk about the project and learn more from the community.
Please contact your school principal if you'd like to be involved. You can learn more at the project website: http://www.fmmetrocog.org/projects-rfps/fargo-safe-routes-school-plan
COG Safe Routes to School Public Meetings
Metro COG is offering public input meetings to collaborate with the community on the Fargo Safe Routes to School Plan. The intent of these meetings is to share information on existing conditions for walking and biking to school and gather comments from the community. The open houses will give families and community stakeholders an opportunity to provide input on issues and needs related to biking and walking. Everyone is invited to participate. Each meeting will be focused on the schools in that area (see below), but will also have information on the plan as a whole and the approach is consistent across all neighborhood/public input areas. The public meetings will be held at each middle school at the following times:
Location: Discovery Middle School – Lunchroom
Date: Monday, May 6
Time: 6-7:30 p.m.
Discussion and information focused on:
1. Discovery Middle School
2. Ed Clapp Elementary
3. Eagles Elementary
4. Centennial Elementary
5. Bennett Elementary
6. Kennedy Elementary
7. Oak Grove Lutheran Elementary
8. Sullivan Middle School
Welcome to Mr. Bruce Wold
Mrs. Cassie Larson (Eagles School Counselor) is taking some time to be with her new baby and I (Bruce Wold) have been given the opportunity to work at Eagles Elementary. I have been here for a few weeks and am really enjoying my time here. I tried to retire 5 years ago, but missed working with young people, so I have been filling in for maternity leaves in the FM Area for the past several years. Please call or stop in if I can be of help.
In classroom guidance lessons we are finishing up the unit on feelings and are beginning to work on problem solving. I meet twice a month with the K-2 grades for 20 minutes and once a month with grades 3-5 for 40 minutes.
