UPDATE | Roosevelt Elementary
We just received the official all-clear from Woodard Restoration regarding Roosevelt Elementary following environmental testing that took place in the latter part of this week. This stems from the discovery of fungal growth in some classrooms last week. The results of the test confirm that our building fully meets all indoor air quality standards.🙌
Here is what to expect next:
Monday: Our custodial crew will perform a final floor scrubbing and thorough clean-up.
Tuesday: The building will officially reopen and return to full operation.
Thank you all for your patience and support as we worked to ensure a safe, healthy environment for our students and staff! 💛🏫

Important Facilities Update | Roosevelt Elementary
As staff returns to buildings across our campus, they earlier identified a fungal growth in a hallway and approximately 12 affected classrooms at Roosevelt Elementary. That growth has been sent off for testing. Operations staff and school leadership immediately took action to address the situation. The issue stemmed from the failure of two HVAC "dedicated outside air systems" (DOAS) that were damaged in the hail storm back in April. Those HVAC units were previously identified as units that needed repair and are awaiting replacement parts. The two systems will be repaired and functional before school starts.
We want to extend a sincere thank you to the building and custodial staff, who did a tremendous job stepping up to handle the initial cleaning and containment right away.
To ensure the highest safety standards for our students and staff, Woodard Restoration is now on site. Their team is currently:
- Deep-treating all affected areas and surfaces.
- Applying preventative treatments to inhibit any future growth.
- Conducting comprehensive air quality testing to ensure all rooms are safe before occupancy.
We do not anticipate that this will affect the start of school. We know how eager our teachers are to get into their spaces, but out of an abundance of caution, rooms will remain closed until remediation and testing are complete.
The health and safety of our school community is our top priority. We will share further updates as work progresses. Thank you for your patience and support as we take care of our school!

Building Resilience, One Jump at a Time 🧠🛠️
Our 4th graders just took "hands-on learning" to a whole new level! For their latest STEM project, they became mechanical engineers and built their very own jumping robots.
From calculating angles to tweaking rubber band tension, these students showed incredible perseverance. There were plenty of trial-and-error moments, but seeing their creations finally take to the air made it worth the effort! 🙌
Talk about taking learning to new heights. 📈 Little engineers, big ideas!

🏡 A Step Back in Time! 🎒
Earlier in the week, the 4th graders were out exploring the Historic Long House right here in downtown Farmington!
From walking through the historic rooms to learning about the incredible stories preserved by the U.S. National Park Service, our 4th graders got a firsthand look at the rich heritage that shapes our community.
The house is located at 400 Ste. Genevieve Avenue and the original home was built of log construction containing one room downstairs and one upstairs, with an enclosed stairway and fireplace. On the north lawn stands a granite pyramidal structure (visible at about 3 o'clock in the photo collage) identifying the site of the first industry in Farmington, a tannery, owned by Phillip Graham Long. When this marker was being built a stone was placed by every remaining member of the Long family.
A huge thank you to the rangers and volunteers who made this field trip so memorable, interactive, and fun. Our students left with big smiles, great questions, and a newfound appreciation for local history!

🍦 Columbia Mercantile: We wrapped up an incredible week the best way we know how—with a sweet ice cream treat!
A massive thank you to all the local spots that welcomed our students with open arms. We are so proud of how our second graders represented our school this week!

Me: "Yay, volunteering to go on the 4th-grade field trip to St. Joe State Park will be so fun!" 🌲☀️
Also me: Remembering that Missouri has 46 species of snakes and St. Joe is basically prime reptile real estate: 🛑🐍 NOPE! I'm out on this one. But for those who braved the park...
So much learning and energy was packed into one day:
🐍 Reptile Encounter: The kids got up close and personal with some incredible reptiles. (The bravery of 9 and 10-year-olds holding a snake is next level!)
🦅 Bird Watching: Along with other native birds, they came across a young baby fledgling that was SO SMALL!
🦌 Park & Wildlife Exploration: We hiked the trails, learned about the importance of taking care of our parks and everything St. Joe State Park has to offer. They get to spend some time on the playground too (there were no snakes there!).
Huge shoutout to St. Joe State Park for hosting us and especially to Assistant Supervisor Billie Tedford as well as Naturalists Gabrielle Johnson and Mary Crowell for organizing the amazing experience! Just keep the snakes in your neck of the woods...LITERALLY!

🚒💦 Perfect day for a soaking! 💦🚒
Our Farmington kindergarteners and 1st graders had the ultimate cool-down today! ☀️ Standard field trips are great, but nothing beats the pure joy of running through a massive water curtain courtesy of the Farmington Fire Department!
A huge thank you to our local firefighters for making a splash, keeping our kids safe, and creating core memories today. There was much screaming, the water was cold, and the smiles were absolutely unforgettable!
Check out some of our favorite soggy, smiling moments from today! 👇📸
🐻🏼 ALL RISE! ⚖️🥣
Our 4th graders traded their classrooms for the courtroom today! It was an incredible field trip to the Farmington courthouse to put a famous fairy tale felon on the stand for the "Trial of Goldilocks."
The charges? Breaking and entering, destruction of property, and porridge theft! 🪑❌
Our students played the role of the jury while teachers and staff played the role of the characters involved. The Witnesses (including a very disgruntled Babe E Bear) took the stand to tell their sides of the story. The Jury deliberated long and hard over the evidence (they actually really did!).
A massive thank you to Judge Patrick King, Circuit Clerk Kristina Bone, the bailiffs and the courthouse staff for hosting us, teaching our students about the judicial system and showing them that civics can be incredibly fun.
So, what was the final verdict? Goldilocks was found not guilty of breaking and entering, but guilty of theft and destruction of property!! 🏛️👨⚖️👩⚖️
