The Farmington Robotics Team has plenty to celebrate at the conclusion of their season! The First Robotics Competition (FRC) Team IgKnight (5060), competed March 27th-28th at the St. Louis Regional, finishing 14th out of 41 teams from six states and two countries (China).
They had a record of 6-7-0 after getting eliminated in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. This marks the second year in a row and second time total the team has made the playoffs.
The biggest milestones have been made off the competition field, though. The team historically averages around 10 students, and this year has grown to over 20. This has lead to being able to specialize student interests as well as expand focus to beyond the competition robot, including securing sponsors to support both the competition robot and team as a whole.
The team secured a total of $9500 in monetary donations funding their competition fee, new uniforms and specific components for the competition team.
A huge thank you to our six sponsors for supporting the Robotics Team and to Mrs. Sarah Springstead and Mr. Brandon Noblin for leading the Robotics Team to success! #TheKnightWay

Last week, building leaders, educators, and parents from across our Title I schools gathered for our Annual Title Evaluation Meeting. Guided by a growth mindset, our team spent the time diving into student achievement data and stakeholder surveys to ensure we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our learners.
These insights were used to refine our Title Building Plans for the upcoming school year, keeping our focus exactly where it belongs to student success.
A heartfelt thank you to our FSD Title I staff. Your endless dedication to supporting our students and staff is truly appreciated!

📢 Student Voices in Action!
What happens when students and district leaders sit down at the same table? Progress
The Student Superintendent Advisory Council (SSAC) met recently to continue their mission of bridging the gap between our hallways and our district offices. This dedicated group of student leaders meets throughout the year to share direct feedback on the student experience, collaborate on solutions for school improvements, and strengthen communication between our student body and district leadership.
For the final meeting of the year, building leaders joined the council to hear firsthand insights from students. It was an incredible opportunity for principals and administrators to listen, learn, and take student-driven ideas back to their specific campuses.
We are so proud of these students for using their voices to make Farmington School District a better place for everyone!

Recently the Community Teachers Association (CTA) awarded Teacher Mini-Grants to some lucky staff members. The winners were Crystal Jenkins, a 2nd grade teacher and Kayla Gillam, a 1st grade teacher. Additional mini-grant winners will be selected in April and May to some staff members.
CTA would like to extend their sincere thanks to the following individuals and organizations for their generous donations to CTA Cares in support of the Backpack Program: Cindy Danieley, Howard and Debbie Hoehn, and She Is Strong Ministry. CTA also appreciates both Farmington McDonald’s locations for hosting a McFundraiser night benefiting CTA Cares.
Because of the continued support from our community, CTA is able to provide weekend food bags for students. FSD is incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and continues to support this important work. #CommunityConnectedness #TheKnightWay
