This website introduces you to the Fargo Public Schools’ organization and steers you through the orientation and onboarding process. As a valuable member of our team, we want you to have the information and resources you need to get off to a great start in your new position - Welcome New Teachers Letter.

As a new employee, you will need to set up an appointment with Human Capital to start the employment process. Please call 701-446-1000 to schedule your appointment.

Step Three: Register for New Employee Training Sessions

How do I register? As soon as you complete the paperwork above, FPS will set up your Kickup account using your employee google email address (@fargoschools.org). An email will be sent from Kickup, our district professional learning platform, to complete signup. Be sure to select - Register with Google - and choose your @fargoschools.org account. You will then be sent an email from Karen Moore with the dates and sessions below and links to register for each session.

(Professional Teaching Staff Only)

Laptops for new staff will be available for pick up after June 15, 2023. If you begin the HR process prior to this date, plan to return to the District Office to receive your laptop, so you can complete online modules prior to the New Hire Orientation in-person event.
