Beginning with the 2025–26 school year, Missouri Senate Bill 68 requires all public schools to limit student use of Electronic Personal Communication Devices (EPCDs) such as phones, earbuds, smartwatches, and similar devices during the school day, from the first bell to dismissal.

At Farmington R-7, we support this change. Research shows that fewer distractions mean stronger learning, better focus, and improved student wellness.

What to Know:
✅ EPCDs will not be allowed during class, lunch, recess, passing periods, or study halls.
✅ Students can use devices during emergencies (with guidance to come).
✅ Parents—call the school if you need to reach your child.
✅ Students in Grades 5–12 will continue to get messages from staff through the Rooms app on their Chromebooks.

More Information To Come!
Building leaders will send letters with more details before school starts.
Please contact our offices with questions. (573) 701-1300

navigating a new statewide policy - Starting August 2025,  Missouri Senate Bill 68 requires all public schools to limit student use of phones, earbuds, smartwatches, and other personal electronic devices (EPCDs) during the school day.
What's Changing At Farmington R-7 - From the first bell to dismissal, EPCDs may not be used or displayed during:  ✔ Class time  ✔ Hallways & passing periods  ✔ Study halls  ✔ Lunch & recess We support this change because fewer distractions = more learning.
How To Stay Connected - Communication still matters!  📞 Parents: Call the school office if you need to reach your student.  💻 Grades 5–12: Teachers/coaches can message students via the Rooms app on Chromebooks.  🚨 Emergencies: Students can use their phones when safety is at risk—more guidance coming soon.
Why This Matters - Removing EPCDs during the school day helps:  ✔ Boost academic performance by up to 6%  ✔ Reduce anxiety and distractions  ✔ Improve face-to-face social interactions
Our Commitment - More information will come to families from building leaders. Together, we’re creating focused, safe, and connected schools—free from digital distractions.

🧪 Celebrating the Retirement of Mr. Philippe Menjoulet 🧪 After an incredible 32-year career, all at Lincoln Intermediate, Mr. Menjoulet is retiring from his role as a 5th-grade science teacher. Throughout his time at FSD, he’s been a steady presence, known for treating students and colleagues respectfully and truly listening. Mr. Menjoulet brought innovation to the classroom, leading one of Lincoln's first eMINTS technology-enriched classrooms and constantly working to spark curiosity and critical thinking. His impact goes beyond lessons—he’s empowered generations of learners to think deeply, act responsibly, and love learning. Thank you, Mr. Menjoulet, for your dedication, mentorship, and heart. Your influence will continue to grow in every student you’ve inspired. Wishing you a joyful and fulfilling retirement—you’ve earned it! 💛 #AlwaysAKnight

Last week, the CTA honored some exceptional educators at a yearly luncheon celebrating Teacher of the Year nominees. It was truly inspiring to hear the impact they have on our students. We especially loved hearing what the students had to say about our very own, Mrs. O'Sullivan. Here's what makes her so special, according to her students: "She helps make science FUN!" "She is so kind." "She helps in any way she can." Thank you, Mrs. O'Sullivan for your dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to your students. You make a difference every single day!
