FARGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Educating and Empowering All Students to Succeed
Children must be age 5 by July 31, 2026, to attend school in the fall.
Kindergarten Registration is a three-part process:
Part One: Pre-Register Online
- Verify the school your child will attend with your current address at www.fargo.k12.nd.us/AddressLookup
- Complete a Pre-Registration form. The school will review and accept your form, which may take up to 2 days.
Part Two: PowerSchool Registration Forms
- After your pre-registration is accepted, you'll receive an email from enrollment@fargo.k12.nd.us. This document will provide instructions on how to create a Parent PowerSchool account and add your child to it, or add an additional child to your existing Parent PowerSchool account. (Please double-check your spam/junk mail for this email reply)
- Log in to your Parent PowerSchool account and click the forms icon on the left side of the menu options.
- Complete and submit each form; the next form will automatically load after each submission. This process should take approximately 15-20 minutes per student. It is recommended to collect the following information prior to beginning:
- Student Address and Contact Information
- Parent Address and Contact Information
- Emergency Contact Information
- Student Health Information, including the physician and dentist names and contact information
Part Three: Submit Required Documentation
The following documents are required by ND state law and can be uploaded on the registration form RND-Required Documents, or they can be dropped off at the child's school during school hours:
1. A Certified Birth Certificate or Other Form of Identity of the student
A certified copy can be obtained by sending the required information to:
ND Dept. of Health
Division of Vital records
600 E Blvd. Ave., Dept. 301
Bismarck, ND 58505-0200
Alternatively, you may call 701.328.2360 or email vitalrec@nd.gov
2. Parent Identification (photo of your driver's license or passport)
3. A Copy of Your Child’s Current Immunization Record
North Dakota law requires that children be properly immunized or be in the process of being immunized before school starts. See the North Dakota Immunization Schedule.
Note: North Dakota has a “No Shots: No School Attendance” law that is enforced by our School Board.
4. Proof of Residency (select one of the following) that includes the guardian's name and current address:
- Lease Agreement
- Mortgage Statement
- Property Tax Statement
Or two of these documents:
-
Utility Bill
-
Pay Stub
-
Tax Return
-
W2
Once all of the above steps are completed, your child is registered for the 2026-27 school year. Prior to the start of the school year, you can also use your parent account to pay school fees online. If you have any questions, call 701-446-1030. The 2026-27 school calendar is available on our district calendars page.
Attention ECSE families: students currently enrolled in the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) program or students who are currently in its evaluation process do not need to register for kindergarten at this time, as students are already in the FPS system and will be promoted to kindergarten status accordingly. ECSE families will receive an email to update registration forms in July.
It is recommended to complete this registration process by May 15th, 2026. However, a second round of registration will reopen in July with a different process.
