StRATEGIC PLAN In 2015, Fargo Public Schools adopted a new Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is a contract between the Fargo Public School District and its owners – the residents of the Fargo school district. The District began work on its first Strategic Plan in 2000. During the 2014-15 school year, a 54-member Strategic Planning Steering Committee created the new Strategic Plan.

The Strategic Plan provides the District with new mission and vision statements, a values statement, and seven strategic initiatives, including:

1. Student Achievement and Growth 2. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) 3. Positive School Culture 4. Engagement and Experiences in Co-Curricular Activities 5. Community Outreach and Communication 6. Equitable Resources and Planning 7. Continuous Improvement and Accountability

The new Strategic Plan is proactive and provides a road map to create the kind of educational experiences we want for children. A balanced mix of current practice and new initiatives can be found throughout the plan, which is comprehensive and reaches all corners of the District. Both the academic and operational branches of the District are melded together to create consistency in practice. The plan makes our priorities clear, ensures full transparency, and uses measurable outcomes to hold us accountable for maintaining focus on what benefits our students.

Teachers improve as new technologies emerge. One of the main work directly with business and industry partners to bridge components of the plan is the Glass Paper Project, which high school curriculums with relevant skills needed in provides personal learning devices to all high school today’s world of work and post-secondary institutions to students in order to teach them 21st Century Skills and help students get a jump-start on college.

During the 2016-2017 school year, iPads were identified as the technology of choice for grades K-2, and deployments under this plan have been allocated to second grade classrooms for personal and small group instruction, and projects.

Across all grade levels, teachers continue to reflect and revise curriculum and classroom activities to intentionally and systemically embed 21st Century Skills (4C’s: Communication, Collaboration, Critical and Creative Thinking) in all courses.

The vision of the CCCTEC is to makes CTE opportunities available to more students through the sharing of courses on site and via flexible distance delivery.

The CCCTEC provides students with access to a broader variety and greater number of CTE courses not otherwise possible for each district individually. For FPS students, the CCCTEC grants them access to CTE courses in aviation, agriculture education, diesel education, health science, information technology programming, and welding technology in addition to CTE courses in business, family and consumer science, health, information technology, engineering, automotive and construction trades, and industry. The collaboration has also increased the sharing of ideas amongst CTE educators which has strengthened curriculums, business partnerships in the community, summer school offerings, and regional events for students.

According to Dr. Denise Jonas, CTE Director of the Cass County CTE Center, “The Center allows district to leverage state dollars more effectively and efficiently while establishing unique cross-district learning opportunities for staff and students. The collaboration is a win-win as we work to cultivate and grow our future workforce in the region.” 5 GIFTED SERVICES AP COLLEGE BOARD RESULTS The Fargo Public School has one of the most comprehensive Students Students Who Percent gifted services programs in North Dakota in terms of Enrolled Took AP Exam Proficient dedicated staff and range of instruction.

The Fargo Public School District is proud to offer all students a variety of activities to participate throughout their academic careers. These activities include competitive athletics, academic clubs, performing arts, forensics and much more.

Fargo Public Schools sponsors 22 competitive athletic teams recognized by the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA). Students also have the opportunity to compete competitively in the performing arts (choir, band, drama, etc.), as well as Forensics (Student Congress, Debate and Speech).

There are a multitude of clubs offered that vary from school to school within the district. These clubs can be found as academic in nature, such as the German Club, or as a service club like PaY (Philanthropy and Youth). There are many clubs to choose from whether your student is looking for something to help them prepare for the future (i.e. FBLA-Future Business Leaders of America) or to incite their passion with an organization such as the Environmental Club.

Each high school annually presents a musical and three-act play along with many other drama performances. The music departments (band, choir, and orchestra) perform in many different capacities and groups throughout the year not only in their respective schools but throughout the community.

FPS annually strives to achieve the goal of student participation in at least one co-curricular activity. During the 2016-17 school year, more than 69% of FPS students in grades 6-12 participated in an extra-curricular activity.

10 Standards, Assessment, and Standard-based Instruction The Fargo Public Schools Teaching and Learning department focuses on Standards, Assessment, and Standards-based Instruction. Standards provide the structure, guidance and goals for teaching and learning. Standards encourage the highest achievement of students, by defining what students should learn at each grade level or course. The Fargo Public Schools utilizes the State Content Standards (www.nd.gov/dpi/SchoolStaff/Standards/) as the foundation of the Fargo Public Schools’ standards. Starting with the State Content Standards, teams of educators work collaboratively to analyze the standards define the knowledge and skills that students in the Fargo Public Schools should acquire at each grade level and what instructional practices will best support students in achieving the standards. Standards answer the critical question, “What do we want all students to know and be able to do?”

Assessments provide students, educators, parents, and the public with a range of information about standards-based achievement and help to determine the best practices and policies that will result in improvements to student learning. The Fargo Public Schools uses a balanced assessment system of formative (classroom assessments to inform instruction) and summative (district assessments to evaluate student learning at the conclusion of instruction) assessments. The assessments used in the Fargo Public Schools are designed to provide students, parents, and teachers the information they need to assist all students in meeting or exceeding the standards, and to provide the district the data it needs for its continuous improvement model. Assessments answer the critical question, “How will we know if they have learned it?”

Standards-based instruction answers the critical question, “How do we teach so that all students learn the standards?” Standards-based instruction provides educators an opportunity to collaborate and proactively plan standards-based instruction, interventions and extensions that will result in improvements to student learning. The instructional methods, materials and activities used in the Fargo Public Schools directly support the students’ achievement of the standards. The Fargo Public Schools embeds the Professional Learning Community philosophy throughout the district to assist in the standards-based instruction process. The term professional learning community describes a collegial group of administrators and school staff who are united in their commitment to student learning. They share a vision, work and learn collaboratively, visit and review other classrooms, and participate in decision making.

11 Student ACHEIVEMENTS Fargo Public Schools strives to provide an excellent learning environment for all of its students. Many of our students achieve high levels of success within the FPS education system, and annually a select group of students also attains recognition and success at regional and national levels. In addition, our students develop their citizenship skills through community and student-led service projects that benefit those in need, veterans, the elderly, the homeless population, and others. Competition and success in all of these endeavors supports District educational goals to shape students who are academically competent, display character, and possess life-skills to be independent.

FPS is proud of the 2016-17 achievements of the following students:
