Faces of Farmington - Meet Jada!

Jada Peterson is a Special Education Paraprofessional at Washington-Franklin Elementary, and she brings patience, joy, and creativity to everything she does. Originally from Kansas City, Jada once dreamed of being a professional photographer before finding her true passion in education.

Her first job? Lifeguard at a waterpark at just 16 years old—"It felt wild that I could save a life at that age!" she shared.

Now, she’s thriving in the classroom and working toward her teaching certification, all while raising two beloved pets, Cooper, a yellow lab, and Callie the cat.

Jada’s favorite traditions include baking cookies with her family on Christmas Eve and celebrating the Beanstack Community Day with students each spring. “There’s nothing better than seeing our students succeed and getting to celebrate those moments with them,” she says.

We’re so lucky to have Jada in our district, thank you for everything you do!

Meet Kylie Peery!

Kylie Peery is the Kitchen Manager at Farmington Middle School, and her heart for students shines through every tray she serves. A Bismarck native, Kylie brings warmth, humor, and care to her work and to her coworkers, whom she now calls friends.

Before joining the district, Kylie worked as a commercial painter; however, she has always been creative. Her family has a fun Christmas tradition where they reuse gift boxes and label them with different names each year… then laugh as they read off the history of who had it before!

At home, Kylie enjoys four-wheeling, camping, and spending time with her family, including three dogs and a cat.

What keeps her going? “We work in this system for the kids. Every position—from the cafeteria to the superintendent—holds a special role in each student’s life. I want to be a safe person they can count on.”

Thank you, Kylie, for feeding bodies and building hearts at FMS!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Math Academy Session! You brought the energy, ideas, and collaboration that made it a success.

Together, we explored new instructional practices, launched strategies to build positive math classrooms, and practiced routines to strengthen number sense and fluency across the district.

This is just the beginning of igniting our passion for math. We can’t wait to see these routines in action as we build consistency, confidence, and curiosity in every classroom.

🎉 Today was a special day at Truman Learning Center! We celebrated the grand opening of our brand-new, ADA-accessible playground with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Former principal Mrs. Kim Berry, who wrote the grant for the equipment, joined current principal Mrs. Jackie Watson, our dedicated maintenance staff, Mr. Josh Hoehn (Director of Operations), Dr. Gibbs, and Mrs. Shana Turner (Assistant Superintendent) to mark the occasion.

Our Pre-K students were the first to enjoy this inclusive new space, one that ensures every child has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow together. 💛🖤#Ignite #TheKnightWay

Great things were happening at Farmington Middle School this week!

From building vocabulary and strengthening inferencing skills to exploring convection currents and diving into the engineering & design process, our students were actively engaged in hands-on learning.

Whether it’s studying relations and functions in math, preparing social studies presentations, or sharpening reading and writing skills, FMS is buzzing with curiosity and growth!

We’re proud of our Knights for putting in the effort every day. Keep up the great work! 🖤💛 #TheKnightWay #Ignite
