Please ensure your student is dressed warmly during these cold days. If your student needs a coat or assistance with winter gear, don't hesitate to contact your building office and ask for the social worker.

Due to continued poor road conditions, the Farmington R-7 School District will remain closed on Tuesday, January 14, 2025. Despite the hard work of our crews and city crews, the lingering ice and low temperatures continue to make many outer roads and side streets unsafe for travel. If conditions improve and we can return to school on Wednesday, we may need to adjust some bus routes and utilize alternative pick-up spots. Details about these changes will be communicated tomorrow to help families prepare. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Stay safe, Knights!
