Band is an exciting and rewarding part of the public school experience for many students. The Farmington Area Public Schools’ bands are no exception, with students performing in hundreds of school and community events throughout the year. Nearly a thousand students across the district take part in the program, but not everyone who wants to play has the opportunity due to the high cost of band instruments. In 2021, Farmington Area Public Schools, ISD 192, launched a new program called Replay. The program was put into place to provide used instruments to students, especially those whose families may not be able to afford the purchase or rental of an instrument.

This year two Farmington Area Public Schools, ISD 192 teachers were honored with the Intermediate School District 917 Inclusive Educator Award for their work to support the inclusion of the unique learners that are served in our school buildings.

Enrollment is now open for children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2023. Learn more here.

As we prepare for the new school year, we have some important news to share with you regarding educational benefits (the free and reduced lunch program): For the past two years, students have received free breakfast and lunch at school due to federal COVID-19 relief funds. The federal government has not allocated funding for this program for the 2022-2023 school year, so meals will no longer be provided free to all students.​ This means that if you did not submit an Educational Benefits Program application during the 2021-22 school year, your student(s) will begin accruing meal charges on the first day in which they eat at school. Should you think that you may qualify for the program, please apply as soon as possible to avoid accruing unnecessary meal charges as we begin the new school year. Guidelines for qualifying for the Educational Benefits Program can be found here.

If you access Infinite Campus via a web browser, please note that the web address (URL) Farmington Area learners and families use to login has also changed.
