Board of Education invites all to attend their first Board Community Dialogue for the year - Tuesday, October 1

The Farmington Public Schools’ (FPS) Board of Education is hosting a Community Dialogue with the topic of Noticing and Belonging. The Dialogue will be held Tuesday, October 1, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.


One of the major educational focuses for the 2024-25 school year in Farmington Public Schools is called Noticing. What this means is that how a teacher "sees" their students - how they understand students' contributions and behaviors - has important implications for how they interact with students minute by minute, day by day. The accumulation of those interactions sends a message to students - that they are valued and that what they say and do is important and matters for their learning and for whom they can become as learners and people.


Attend this Dialogue to discuss what Noticing means to you and your child(ren) and how this focus impacts student achievement.


This important dialogue is a great opportunity to interact and to get to know your school board members and engage in a discussion about Noticing and Belonging.


The event will be held at the Maxfield Education Center located at 32789 W. Ten Mile Road in Farmington. Attendees are asked to park in the South parking lot. Light refreshments will be served.
