The Fergus Falls Public School is excited to welcome the 2033 graduating class! We will be hosting an open house on March 23, 2020 from 5:00-6:00 for students ready for kindergarten in September. Come join us for an evening of FUN, books, t-shirts, and LOTS of information.
What will you need to bring Monday, March 23 (if you have not already turned it in)?
- Your registration forms - filled out
- A photocopy of your child's birth certificate
- A completed immunization form
Right Start dates are June 3 & 4 this year! Mark you calendars now.
Things you should know:
Parents can choose the "All Day Every Day" option, the "Morning Only" option, or the "M-W-F" option. Please note that if you choose the "Morning Only" option, you will need to provide transportation from school at noon. A change to note if you have had a MWF student in the past - your child will no longer be able to substitute days or join the class for field trips / parties on TTH as they have in the past. Contact us if you have any questions. We would love to be able to help you make this important decision for your child. 998-0544 ext. 1500
Breakfast is provided everyday at no cost to kindergarten students. Your family can decide if this is something you would like to participate in. Milk will also be provided by the school during snack time.
School begins at 8:25 and ends at 3:07. Supervision is provided in the gym every morning starting at 7:45. If your child will be riding the bus this year, we STRONGLY encourage you have them ride the first few days / weeks while there are plenty of adult helpers to help them navigate the transition.
Stay tuned for more information on our NEW online registration option.
