Check your students backpack daily for information that is coming home about school and events!

We highly encourage healthy snacks for student snack time. Students get to take a snack to their first recess. This is a time for them to re-energize and re-fuel themselves.

Water bottles should only contain water. No juice, coffee, energy drinks, etc. We want to make sure that students are minimizing their sugar intake during the school day in order to promote a better opportunity for learning.

Make sure to send plastic or metal water bottles. No glass, as when dropped it breaks and can be dangerous.

Regular, on-time attendance is essential to students’ education. Too many absences - excused or unexcused - can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. Did you know that missing just two days of school per month means a student loses 10% of their instruction for the school year? Learn more about the importance of attendance, download an attendance tracker, and see support strategies on our website. Of course, attendance does not take priority over your health! If you are too sick for school, please stay home and access your work remotely until you are feeling better.

At Farmington View Elementary School, we know, value, and empower every student. With that, our school is focusing on phonics, and phonics in Spanish for our K-1 Spanish speaking students. Additionally, in math we are focusing on high leverage strategies and number sense during our math blocks. As a STEAM school our focus is on providing our students access to integrated STEAM lessons on a regular basis through our innovation workshop. In order to support an environment where students feel valued and empowered our school is integrating social emotional learning by providing students access to lessons daily. These steps will ensure all our students are successful through their K-12 school years and have the opportunities to achieve their dreams!
