Spelling Bee - Date change
The Longfellow Spelling Bee date has changed due to a conflict with another Longfellow Activity. The Final Oral Round will be held on Saturday February 1st. The registration form and detailed information will be sent home with the students after Christmas break. The study lists will be available at that time as well. The preliminary written tests will be given during recess on Tuesday January 14th and Wednesday January 15th.
ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Please help us with our daily attendance by calling the school if your child is absent or will be leaving early. By calling the school we are able to insure that your child is safe and accounted for each day.
Please call the office ( 446-5051) or email Patty Edlund at edlunpa@fargo.k12.nd.us.
If your child arrives at school after the bell rings at 8:30AM, they will need to stop at the office to get a tardy slip before going to the classroom.
