Farmington Area Public Schools

An important update on free meals for all students during distance learning. Please click "Read More." 

Based on the recommendation of our Regional Support Team (representatives from Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Department of Education, and Dakota County Public Health), in consultation with our Incident Command Team (a focus group of staff and community members), and in accordance with Executive Order 20-82: all Farmington Area Public Schools learners (grades K-12) will begin distance learning on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 and continue in distance learning through Tuesday, December 22. This transition will not impact learners enrolled in Farmington Academy. We will reevaluate the situation around COVID-19 community spread the week of December 21. Our hope is to safely return to our hybrid learning model after winter break (December 23, 2020 - January 3, 2021).  

Updated 10-09-2020 - Free Meals for Students extended through the end of the 2020-2021 school year: On Friday, Oct. 9, 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced it has extended flexibilities in its Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) through June 30, 2021. This means it will waive all fees for school meals through the end of the 2020-2021 school year. The department previously extended free meals through December 2020, based on funding available at the time, but was now able to extend throughout the entire 2020-2021 school year
