February 2016
Dear Davies Parents,
Semester two is off to a great start and as we move toward the mid-point of quarter three
we are already planning ahead for the 2016-17 school year. The registration process is under way
with counselors presenting to all 9th-11th grade students. These presentations are designed to
guide students into making the best choices possible for the following year. Students will begin
registering in early February on the following dates:
Freshman
Sophomores & Juniors
Troy Cody, Principal
Dr. Dale Miller
Assistant Principal
Web Site: www.fargo.k12.nd.us
February 3
February 9
As students make their course selections for next year, it is important to consider the
following:
 When registering for classes students are making a commitment to be in that class the
following school year. Requests to drop or add classes next fall will be considered, but
often we are unable to grant schedule changes and students will be forced to stick with the
original schedule they committed to in February.
 The master schedule is determined by student requests. From these requests, teachers are
contracted and sections determined. The schedule and teacher placements are done with
the goals of maintaining appropriate classroom sizes and being fiscally responsible with the
limited resources available. Choices need to be made knowing that a schedule change
request that is made next fall may not be granted if a student changes their mind. In the
event you or your child has questions about classes or the academic plan for the upcoming
year please contact your child’s counselor and they will be happy to guide you through the
process.
February 10 will mark the date of our three week grade check. This grade check will be used
to determine academic eligibility for all students participating in activities and will be first level of
Support System for Academic Success. Students who are performing below 65% in a class will
be identified by classroom teachers and a discussion will take place with the student and their
parents about a plan for addressing the student’s academic needs.
This year Fargo Public School will be hosting an AdvancEd School Improvement team to
determine if Fargo Public and its entire school system meets the standard being accredited.
AdvancEd is the most renowned school accreditation organization in the world committed to
helping schools foster ongoing processes for evaluation and improvement.

LUNCH MONEY
Parents and Guardians – you may put money on your student’s account through the SCHOOL PAY
PROGRAM. The same program you initially used to pay your students fees and lunch may be accessed
all year to add money to their account. If you do the additions on-line you can see if your student is
getting low on funds or even get at notice if they get down to a certain amount. The program also keeps a
running account of usage.
SCHOOL PAY
Just a reminder that you can pay for activity fees, parking passes, lunch and more at School Pay with a credit card. Click
on the PowerSchool icon, like the one you see below, on the Davies website or the Fargo Public Schools website. Use the
username and password you initially used when you registered your student in August. If you are having a problem with
your transaction you may call School Pay at 888-886-9729.
STUDENT PERSONAL LEARNING DEVICE (PLD) INFORMATION
Students and parents should be aware that the new HP Streams, given to all sophomores this year,
need to always have the protective case on them. We are seeing a number of students who have removed those
cases. The cases are there to protect the computer and need to be left on at all times. If the device is damaged and does
not have a case on it, students will be charged an additional $20 fee for the negligence, on top of the $20 repair
fee. Additionally, if the device is damaged beyond repair without the case on it, you will be responsible for the full cost
of the device. Please make sure those cases are on the computers. If there are any issues please see the library.
REPORTING ABSENCES
If your student is going to be absent because of an illness, out of town, appointment, etc., please call the Attendance
Secretaries, Michelle Schnarr (A-K) at 446-5611 or Toni Nelson (L-Z) at 446-5610. If you call in advance you do not need
to send a note with your student. If your student has an appointment, please call or send a note with your student prior to
the appointment. In doing so, your student may pick up a slip from the attendance office and be excused from class without
interrupting the class. Also please have your student bring a note from the medical institution as verification of the
appointment.

PROJECT UNIFY
Project Unify students at Davies High School worked on an event that aims to promote social inclusion between all
students. The fourth annual “Project Unify” Prom Fashion Show was held on Saturday, January 30 at Davies High
School. Project Unify students organized more than 30 students, with and without disabilities, who modeled the
latest prom fashions arm-in-arm down a fashion runway setting. Dresses and tuxedos for the event were provided by
Alan Evans Bridal and Tip Top Tux. Other local businesses donated goods and services to be used as event door
prizes.
Proceeds raised by ticket sales for the event will benefit Gigi’s Playhouse, a place for children and adults with Down
syndrome and their families to learn, play, and interact. Gigi’s Playhouse offers educational and therapeutic
programming. More information about the organization can be found on the Gigi’s Playhouse website.
“Project Unify” seeks to bridge the social gap between the two groups of students with a series of events and
activities throughout the school year. Project Unify is in its fourth year at Davies and was started as a DECA studentorganized club. Katie Bye, Ashley Matter, Lexi Belk, Alysse Glasner and Zach Peters were key members in setting up
the January 30th event.

YEARBOOKS – SENIOR PICTURES – GRAD ADS
YEARBOOKS – If you ordered a 2014-15 yearbook, please pick it up in the main office at
Davies. We have several yearbooks that have been paid for that have NOT been picked up.
Senior Pictures are due by March 7, 2016. Seniors can submit either a color or black and
white picture to the main office. We suggest a face shot if possible and all photos must be
portrait (vertical). Digital photos are accepted. They can be emailed to
[email protected]. (All photographs submitted must be school appropriate for
publication.)
Grad Ads for the 2016 Yearbook will be sold through March 29, 2016. We encourage ads
that feature your senior in his/her younger years. We also encourage parents to consider
sharing an ad with a group of seniors, like “Jazz Band Buddies”. An order form that includes
sizes and prices for this year’s Grad Ads will be sent to seniors in January.
If you have any questions about Senior Pictures or Grad Ads, please feel free to call Jenna Johnson at 701-446-5751
DO YOU HAVE A CHANGE OF INFORMATION?
As we are now using on line registration - you may make changes to telephone numbers, addresses etc. for your student/s
ANYTIME during the school year. Use the same user name and password you used when you registered your student to
make any changes. All Fargo Public School mail is returned to us, nothing is forwarded. So it is very important we have
up to date information. Also, with the ‘Connect Ed’ notifications going out to you via the telephone numbers and email
addresses; it is another reason to have your student’s information up to date. (‘Connect Ed’ is how you are notified of
conference dates, school closings etc.) You of course may still call the main office 446-5600 or 446-5616 to make changes
if you choose not to use the on-line method.
NURSES CORNER
SELF-ESTEEM
Self-esteem is formed early in life. Self-esteem is the collection of pictures that children carry
around with themselves; of how they fit in and who they are. Even though children make these
decisions internally, parents have a tremendous influence on the unconscious decisions children
form. The way parents communicate with words and actions can help children to thrive or fail.
Here are some suggestions to help raise your child's self-esteem.





Watch out for having overly high expectations for your child, comparing siblings, or making your love conditional
on their behavior.
Separate the deed from the doer. Deal with the behavior making it clear that you love the child, but you don't like
crayon drawings on the wall.
Listen to your children and take them seriously. They are forming their ideas and opinions. How they think today
may be different from how they think tomorrow, but they still need their parent's ear and support. They need
validation that their opinions are important.
Stay away from the use of praise. Praise may seem to work when things are going well and when the child is
succeeding. However, your children may be learning to be “approval junkies." This means they believe they are
okay only if someone else tells them they are okay. If you overuse praise, what do you do when your child is
failing? That's when they need encouragement the most, like the right word or a gesture that lets them know, "You're
all right!"
Value the uniqueness of each child. Avoid comparisons and work at finding out who your children are instead of
trying to get them to live up to a picture of who you think they should be.
Work on your own self-esteem. The better you like and accept yourself with your own mistakes and shortcomings,
the better model you will be to your children about self acceptance and having a healthy self-esteem too.
PARKING
Students must have a FPS parking permit ($20) to park in the lot. During the school year the permits are available
in the main office. Please note: NO PARKING, PICK-UP or DROP-OFF is allowed in the bus loop.
STUDENT PERMITS ARE TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.
IMPORTANT – If your son or daughter is driving a different vehicle than they normally drive – PLEASE make
sure they check in with the security desk and leave the vehicle information with them. If they come before 7:30 am they
need to check in with the main office.
ACTIVITY FEES
Fargo Public Schools charges an activity fee ($50) for each activity/sport in which a student participates. Students have to
pay these fees BEFORE they can participate in an activity/sport. A student is obligated to pay up to and no more than three
(3) fees per school year. If they participate in four (4) or more activities/sports the fourth activity does not have a fee. A
‘Fee Waiver’ application is available if you are not able to pay the $50 fee for a sport/activity. The form is available in the
school office. The waiver application will be submitted to the Activities Director for determination of qualification.
**NEW ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FPS**
Students must be making satisfactory progress toward the school’s requirements for graduation. The school where the
student is fully enrolled and regularly attends shall determine satisfactory progress. Failure to acquire progress toward
earning two and one half credits at grade check time will make him/her ineligible for a minimum of 3 weeks, and may
become eligible at the next grade check, if making progress toward earning two and half credits. The next check for
eligibility is Wednesday, February 10, at 8:00 am.

ACT STATE-MANDATED TESTING
The ACT state-mandated test will be for all juniors on March 15th. You will need to know…
 All registration and pre-test administration activities will take place at Davies
 State-mandated testing is free to all students
 You MUST have a picture ID in order to take the test—a driver’s license or school ID are sufficient.
 Testing will start promptly at 8:05 even if you do not have a period one class. Late arrivals will not be allowed
to take the test on the 15th.
 No electronic devices will be allowed in the testing rooms.
 Only permissible calculators will be allowed, and you must have your own—you may not share. A list of
permissible and prohibited calculators can be found at http://www.actstudent.org/faq/calculator.html.
 Failure to follow the rules could cause your test to be invalidated, or worst-case scenario, the whole school’s
tests.
 Test time will take approximately four hours.
What might help you on the test?
Since this is the real ACT test, you should prepare just like you would for a national test date! FREE ACT test prep tools
are available to you on the Test Gear program at RUReadyND.com. You have an account set up already from the career
units you have done in the past. If you have forgotten your login information, Mrs. McKeever in the Career Center can
help you.
We will also host a test-prep session called “Zapping the ACT” presented by Doorway to College. This will take place on
Monday and Tuesday, February 15th and 16th from 6:30-9 pm at Davies. The seminar fee is $89.99, and you can register
online at http://www.doorwaytocollege.com/act-prep-classes. If the dates listed for Davies do not work in your schedule,
there are other Zapping the ACT workshops offered at other high schools in Fargo prior to the March ACT.
Please stop by and see your counselor if you have any questions.
LAST CHANCE FOR THE WORKKEYS
We have already had 5 students take and pass the three sections of the WorkKeys exam moving them one step closer to
qualifying for the ND Career and Technical Education Scholarship. Congratulations to these students!
Students who meet specific course requirements for the ND Career and Technical Education track of this scholarship are
also required to either have a 24 composite on an ACT or a score of at least “5” on each of 3 WorkKeys assessments.
This scholarship provides $1500/yr and is renewable for 4 years of college for those students attending a North Dakota
school. The 3 WorkKeys assessments measure students’ ability in applied mathematics, reading for information, and
locating information. Davies High School will again offer a computer-based version of these assessments to provide
students with an opportunity to qualify for this scholarship.
There is still one more chance to take this test to qualify. The test will be offered a final time on Thursday, February 11,
starting at 1:00 pm. The cost of the WorkKeys is $24 (or $8 per test should a student need to retake only one or two
tests.) To register, please bring your registration fee and sign up in Student Services.
NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL
Founded in 1990, the North Dakota Governor’s Schools (NDGS) have given over 1200 North Dakota High School
students the opportunity to experience what life can be like on a college campus for 6 weeks in the summer. The program
started with two areas of study, Mathematics, and Science, and now has expanded to include architecture/landscape
architecture, engineering, English, information technology, performing arts, and visual arts. High school credit is given
for participation in many of these programs. The North Dakota State Legislature graciously covers all costs for NDGS
(tuition, room, board, etc.). There is a $100 activity fee. You may bring spending money for activities like free nights at
the mall or occasionally ordering pizza. Laundry in the dorm you’re housed in is free. To apply for governor’s school,
please visit the website at: https://www.ndsu.edu/govschool/. Deadline for applications is March 1, 2016.
NORTH DAKOTA BOYS’ STATE
Are you a junior boy interested in learning more about government or politics? Are you looking for a way to earn high
school credit, while staying on a college campus and meeting new friends from around the state? If you answer yes to
these questions, Boys’ State might be an excellent opportunity for you.
Boys’ State is being held on the campus of ND State College of Science June 12-17, 2016. The cost of attendance at this
conference is generously covered by our local American Legion Chapter. The only cost to the participant is $25 which
covers a key deposit, t-shirt, and entrance to the Governor’s Ball. Davies can have 2 delegates in attendance.
During this week on campus, delegates will have opportunities to create a campaign and run for office, make decisions as
a legislator, and lead teams. Students who attend will have the opportunity to earn high school credit. Boys’ State is open
to any junior boy, but may be of particular interest to members of DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, Student Council, and Debate.
If you are interested, you can either pick up an application in Student Services or apply online at
http://ndboysstate.org/wp/.
NORTH DAKOTA GIRLS’ STATE
Just like there are opportunities for boys to attend boys’ state, a similar opportunity exists for junior girls. Girls’ State will
be held June 5-10, 2016 on the University of North Dakota campus.
At Girls State, citizens are divided into cities, two cities form a county, and all counties combine to create the mock state
of Flickertail Girls State. Citizens learn about city, county and state government by running for offices, holding elections,
writing laws, and participating in various other activities. Participants don’t just hear about the government process- they
are the process! The only requirement for attendance is that a (female) participant must have just completed her junior
year of High School. The American Legion Auxiliary Girls State does not discriminate by race, creed, color, religion,
disability, or grade point status. Like Boys’ State, the cost of attendance is covered by the local American Legion
Auxiliary. If you are interested in attending girls’ state, you can apply online at http://ndgirlsstate.org/.
