You will be asked to complete ONE registration form per family when you arrive.

Supplies are available for students residing in and attending K-12 schools in Cass or Clay counties and are NOT available for Head Start, pre-school or college students.

With so many unknowns, we want to ensure that West Fargo Public Schools is prepared for whatever comes at us in the 2020-21 school year.

Mental Health Month

While one in five people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health. The good news is there are practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency - and there are ways that everyone can be supportive of friends, family, and co-workers who are struggling with life’s challenges or their mental health.
