FMS Is Building Something Big for Skilled Trades

FMS families and students, here's a first look at something we're really excited about: the Construction Skilled-Trades Lab coming to our technical center.

This new 4,000-square-foot facility will be built on the site of the former PreK West building and is set to open by Fall 2027. The equipment for the Lab has already been purchased and is on site at FMS, ready for installation once construction is complete.

Walk & Roll to School Day Is a Reminder to Drive Carefully Near Schools

The annual event encourages students to build healthy habits that support physical health, mental alertness, and traffic safety, especially in busy areas near our schools. Go, Wildcats!

Attendance Office

Farmington Schools Attendance and Absences:

Farmington Municipal School District is committed to the philosophy that every student should

attend every class, every period, every day. Daily attendance and promptness are expected in

all classes and are essential for success in school. Attendance represents a critical component

in the overall success of each student. When a student’s absenteeism is chronic or excessive,

the school will send a letter to the student’s parents/guardians to create a prevention and/or

intervention plan for the student. If the student’s attendance does not improve, the school will

take additional steps to ensure the parent/guardian is aware of the student’s poor attendance.

The school may also make a referral for educational neglect to the New Mexico Child Youth and

Families Division, in accordance with The Attendance for Success Act (HB236). For more

information in regards to The Attendance for Success Act (HB236), please contact your school

principal.

Attendance Guidelines Daily Absence Reporting:

● Parents/guardians should notify the school by telephone each day a student is absent (open

24 hours for your convenience to call). If the parent/guardian fails to notify the school, the school

may attempt to contact the parent/guardian.

● Students who are absent without a parent’s or guardian’s excuse may be considered truant.

● The school encourages parents to schedule physician, dental, and mental health

appointments after school hours.

● Excessive absences may affect a student’s academic achievement.

● Parents/guardians may be required to submit supporting documentation in order to excuse the

absence of their student if student absenteeism is excessive.
