Whether it’s 15–20 minutes before bed, after supper, in the car, or on the weekend, those reading minutes add up!
Our Homecoming dress-up days have been planned, so it’s time to start thinking about your outfits!
We can’t wait to see everyone show their school spirit and have some fun throughout Homecoming Week.
Quick Update:
Thursday, September 3 - JH Volleyball vs New Rockford-Sheyenne @ Fessenden - 4:30pm
Regular attendance helps students stay connected, build strong academic skills, and feel successful at school. Missing just two days each month can add up to chronic absence and make it harder for students to keep up with learning.
Thank you, families, for helping make being at school, on time, every day a priority! 💜📚
Today’s Lunch: Sub Sandwiches
Tomorrow’s Lunch: Corn Dogs & Mac n Cheese
- Girls Golf (JV/JH) @ Fessenden - 10:00 a.m.
- HWC JH Football @ New Rockford-Sheyenne — 4:30 p.m.
Reminders:
⭐ Turn in 21st Century forms

We encourage parents to take a few minutes to review the information shared with students so we can all work together to start the year on the same page.
📖 Student Handbooks: Your child will also be bringing home a copy of the Fessenden-Bowdon School Handbook for you to review together. Please sign and return the last page to the school office by Monday, August 24.
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for helping us get the year off to a great start! 💜🖤
To help keep dismissal safe, organized, and efficient, students in grades PK-4 will be dismissed in three groups: bus riders, parent pickup, and walkers.
3:28 PM — Bus Riders & Parent Pickup
Bus riders will be walked outside and loaded onto their buses.
Parent pickup students will exit Door 10 with an adult to meet their parents.
Please Note: To help dismissal run smoothly, parents will not be allowed into the building between 3:25–3:35 PM. After 3:35 PM, families are welcome to come inside to visit a teacher, stop by the office, or pick something up.
3:35 PM — Walkers
Walkers will be dismissed after the buses have departed to help reduce traffic and keep students safe.
Change of Plans?
If your child’s after-school plans change, please contact the school office by 2:30 PM so we have enough time to notify your child and their teacher.
Thank you for helping us make dismissal safe and smooth for everyone!
