Thank you Mrs. Walden and Ms. Bays!

Join us in celebrating National School Counseling Week this February! School counselors are invaluable members of our educational community, providing essential support to students' academic, social, and emotional well-being. They're the listeners, the advocates, and the guides who help our kids navigate the challenges of school and life. Let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate the dedication and hard work of our school counselors. Thank you for all you do!

As our students and staff enjoy a well-earned winter break, Farmington R-7 social media accounts will be taking a short pause, too.

We’ll be back after the break with more stories, celebrations, and updates from around the district. Until then, we wish our Knights and their families a safe, restful, and joyful winter break.
