Good Luck to the Cross Country Teams at the District Tournament Today!

Good Luck to the Black Knight Cheerleaders at the State Tournament this weekend! Go Knights!

Rebecca Stites teaches 7th-grade Pre-Algebra at Farmington Middle School and has a passion for helping students enjoy and understand math, one lightbulb moment at a time.

Originally from Farmington, Rebecca brings not only a love of education but also of adventure! She’s eaten lamb and rabbit, attended two of the four major golf championships, and spent her honeymoon in beautiful Saint Lucia.

Fun fact: Her husband played in the MLB for the Arizona Diamondbacks!

Rebecca enjoys golfing with him and spending time with their three sons, and don’t forget their mini schnauzer, Jax! Christmas morning always starts with Eggs Benedict, and weekends are often filled with family time and fun.

We’re so grateful for the energy and encouragement Rebecca brings to the middle school every day!

Congratulations to the Black Knight Marching Band on an outstanding season! The BKMB concluded their season on Saturday, October 25th, with the 3rd highest score of the day out of 23 bands at the Ste. Genevieve Marching Competition. The 2025 marching season has been very successful, with the band placing 2nd or 3rd in their class at every competition and receiving the outstanding music award at the Fountain City Classic in Desoto. Great job, BKMB!

Farmington families, we want to hear from you! The Family Feedback Survey is a vital part of how we shape our schools’ future. Your input helps guide our district’s decisions and improvement plans, ensuring we continue to grow stronger together. The survey takes about five minutes and directly impacts how we support students, staff, and families across every building. You can access the survey in the building announcements section of Rooms. Please take a moment to share your thoughts by December 1, 2025. #CommunityConnectedness #TheKnightWay #BKP #Ignite

🏈 Teacher Appreciation Game Tonight! 🏈

This week, our Black Knight Football players presented their game jerseys to a teacher who has made a lasting impact on their lives. 💛

Tonight, those teachers will be honored on the field before kickoff and will join together to form the tunnel as our team takes the field — a powerful reminder of the support and inspiration that guide our athletes every step of the way.

Behind every player stands a mentor, encourager, and role model who helped shape their journey. Thank you to our incredible educators for inspiring excellence both on and off the field!

Faces of Farmington!

Jessica Long is one of the friendly faces behind the wheel of our school buses—and also supports the Operations team as an Administrative Assistant. A lifelong Farmington resident, Jessica is a self-proclaimed fantasy book geek who brings care, humor, and consistency to her daily routes.

She’s known by her students for more than just driving—she’s someone who listens, encourages, and celebrates their wins, big or small. “I’ve had some riders since elementary school, and now they’re in high school. It’s wonderful... and hard at the same time,” she shares.

She once ate a scorpion lollipop, sets off fireworks with her family every 4th of July, and keeps her home life lively with two cats—Murder Mittens and Freya. 🐾

Her favorite recent memory? Shooing a wasp off the bus and hearing half the students erupt in cheers. 🐝👏

Thank you, Jessica, for making the ride more than just transportation; it’s a place where students feel seen.
