Dayse Baker Learning Center

What another engaging and eye-opening day with Cohort 3 of our Black Knight Insight program! 💡

Today, our community members went behind the scenes at both the Middle School and the Dayse Baker Learning Center for a hands-on look at how we support our students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Here are a few highlights from today’s journey:

⏱️ The Middle School Experience: Participants dove into i-Ready and learned how our educators analyze data metrics to tailor instruction for every learner before spending some time in some classrooms. Students gave a presentation on some of the clubs and after-school activities offered. They also experienced for themselves the fast-paced "4-minute crossover" or the amount of time students get to change classes throughout the day without being late! To make it real, one group navigated the process of getting a loaner Chromebook, while another had to handle a last-minute schedule change at the office, all while racing to beat the bell to their next class.

🥪 Lunch & Dialogue at Dayse Baker: The group headed over to Dayse Baker Learning Center for a Subway lunch, sitting down directly with students to hear their perspectives and share great conversation.

🏫 Deep-Dive Tour & Honest Conversations: Principal Jenna Hemmann walked participants through the facility for a tour followed by an insightful Q&A session. The conversation focused on the reality of what DBLC is, what it offers and how it has transformed over the years and eventually finished on a discussion of district finance.

A huge thank you to our staff, students, and community participants for making day two so meaningful. Seeing our district in action together is what Black Knight Insight is all about!

Happy #NationalCustodiansDay to the incredible custodial team across the Farmington School District!🧹✨

From early morning preps to late-night event cleanups, our custodial team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our classrooms, hallways, and facilities clean, safe, and welcoming for our students and staff every single day.

Their hard work doesn't just keep our schools shining, it builds a better environment for learning and growing.

Thank you for keeping our schools clean, safe, and ready for learning every single day. Next time you see one of our custodial staff members in the halls, be sure to give them a high five or a warm "thank you!"🙌👊
