Meadowlark Elementary Newsletter
October 2026
With the start of the school year, it is so great to see all the students again β I cannot believe how much they have grown! I look forward to the school year and hope that it will be a healthy one. That being said, I have heard that there is a flu bug starting to go around as well as some Influenza A already. Included here are the guidelines for when a learner is too sick to be in school. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I am at Meadowlark from 07:30-03:00 on school days. My phone number is 701-551-4605 and email is nnielsen@west-fargo.k12.nd.us.
One role of mine is managing medication administration at the school. This can be a daily medication, an antibiotic, or an as needed medication (this does include cough drops). If your child needs to take a medication at school, please let me know. I would also ask that you review the full medication policy that is available at ACBD-AP: Medication Administration - West Fargo 6 School District.
One change with the district this year is that the no nits lice policy has changed. This means that if lice are discovered on a learner, they are able to remain in the classroom for the school day. I will be calling the parent/guardian to notify them that their learner has lice and that they should be treated as soon as possible and are able to return to school once treated. This change is in more in line with the Department of Health, American Academy of Pediatrics and Center for Disease control guidelines. For more information, please visit About Head Lice | Lice | CDC
