Dear students, families, staff, and community,
I wanted to share some highlights from this past year and exciting plans for the future. It has been an incredible experience witnessing the amazing things happening in our district during my first year as Superintendent of Farmington Municipal Schools.
We've had some fantastic events and activities, such as our new Jr. Chef Competition, college signings, science fairs, spelling bees, and various competitions and performances where our students and teachers truly excelled. It's been heartwarming to see how our efforts to inspire elementary students to pursue art and music programs in middle school have resulted in exceptional performances by our middle and high school students.
These are just a few examples of the great work happening in our schools. Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly to implement new and effective teaching methods for reading and writing. They have also introduced new reading materials and engaged in collaborative professional development to ensure our students continue to grow academically.
Looking ahead to next year, we have exciting plans to establish two community schools that will offer our families more services. We are also finalizing plans for a new preschool and making changes to our CATE center to meet the ever-growing demand for technical and career readiness. Additionally, we will be upgrading and repairing our facilities, including building new playgrounds and replacing roofs during the summer.
I also want to express my gratitude to the Farmington Police Department, Fire Department, and Office of Emergency Management for their exceptional efforts. They play a crucial role in helping us to keep our schools safe, especially considering the increase in reports of threats. These collaborative partnerships between our institutions have resulted in minimal disruption to learning time.
As the school year comes to an end, I want to wish you all a wonderful summer. I am thankful for your continued support and partnership. Together, let's keep Farmington Municipal Schools shining brightly.
