Incoming NDSU students will move into residence halls today and join Welcome Week, which runs until Sept.

Governor Armstrong says the new cell phone ban in schools will help improve students' physical, emotional and mental health as districts enforce strict bell-to-bell rules.

West Fargo Public Schools started classes recently while Fargo Public Schools will begin on August 27th.
