Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
🌟FCES is off to a GREAT start! Our school year has kicked off fabulously with all our Farmers back in the building! 🚀 We want to remind everyone about our arrival and dismissal procedures, designed with support from our wonderful PTO to keep things safe and orderly.
🙏 We appreciate your patience during these busy first days! If your child is a car rider, please have your PikMyKid Car Tag Number ready or check in on the app. Thank you for your cooperation, FARMERS!

Special Olympics Illinois Young Athletes was designed to help introduce children into the world of sports as well as help them improve physically, cognitively, and socially. It has also helped introduce parents and entire families to the network, support, and resources that make up Special Olympics Illinois. This program has seen great success in Illinois schools and agencies. Recently, FCES hosted the Special Olympics Illinois Farmington Young Athletes Culminating Event and Showcase. Our Young Athletes and partnering classrooms did an OUTSTANDING job & all of our Farmers made sure to let them know this as they cheered everyone on. It was such an amazing event!!! A BIG thank you goes out to all of the AMAZING people who helped make this event possible!

Principal for the Day!
Fallon Smith was our principal for the day winner! Ms. Smith helped with our Friday Morning Meeting by drawing our monthly Farmer Ticker Winners & passing out the Golden Spatula. She popped into classrooms, sent out an email to staff, met with elementary & district staff, used the walkie talkie, & much more. When asked what she learned about being a principal, Ms. Smith replied that principals have to do a lot of walking! Fallon did such a great job!
