Farmington R-7 School District

Today, we say thank you and congratulations to Farmington R-7 SRO Sergeant. Sam Weekley, as he retires from the Farmington Police Department and his role as a School Resource Officer.

Sergeant Weekley has dedicated more than 32 years to law enforcement, including 27 years serving as an SRO, where he built relationships, earned trust, and made our schools safer and stronger. He began his work with the D.A.R.E. program because he wanted to help students early, and that purpose guided his entire career.

A Farmington graduate, Sergeant. Weekley has always believed in giving back to the community that helped shape him. He has been a steady presence and a familiar face for generations of students.

Thank you, Sergeant Weekley, for your service, your heart for kids, and your lasting impact on Farmington R-7. We wish you all the best in your well-earned retirement. 💙🚔

Farmington R-7 Schools are closed on Monday, January 26, 2026, due to winter weather. Snow Day #2

Today’s snow day message features student artwork from our Farmington R-7 Snow Day Design Challenge, launched last fall for students in grades 5–12.

Submissions were hand-drawn or painted and included Farmington-related elements, winter themes, and open space for the district’s closure message. The artwork was scored using a rubric that considered creativity, visual impact, clarity, and how well each design could be utilized across district communication platforms. Top-scoring designs were selected to be featured on snow day announcements.

Along with a featured challenge design, we are also sharing artwork from additional Farmington students to celebrate the talent across our district.

Thank you to our students for their creativity!

Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the snow, Knights. Snow Day #2
