Farmington Area Public Schools, ISD 192, is launching a new program aimed at getting instruments in the hands of more students. Dubbed “Replay,” the program will provide used instruments to students, especially those whose families may not be able to afford the purchase or rental of an instrument from a music store.

Congratulations to the 2021 SEAC Super Advocate award recipients! This award honors adults, students and community members who have gone the extra mile to demonstrate kindness, courage, provided inclusion or a unique experience or service to our learners with disabilities. This award is sponsored by the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC).

This evening Governor Walz announced an end to the statewide mask requirement, in light of recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stating that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask. Minnesotans who are not fully vaccinated are strongly recommended to wear face coverings indoors and schools are still required to follow the Minnesota Safe Learning Plan for the remainder of the school year. One requirement of the MN Safe Learning Plan is that “all students, staff, and other people present in school buildings and district offices or riding on school transportation vehicles are required to wear a face covering.” So, ISD 192 will continue with its current practice around face coverings through June 4, 2021. Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.

In honor of the Farmington High School 2021 graduating class, over the next several weeks we will be highlighting a few of our outstanding seniors. These students have been nominated by Farmington Area Public Schools staff members for exhibiting hard work and pursuing their spark with passion during their time at FHS.
