Students had a blast at the FCES SIP Day Picnic on Friday! We had some great weather & a lot of fun! Check it out! #FarmerFun #ENJOY




🏈Farmer Football Leads Morning Meeting🏈
FCES had some guests today for our Friday Morning Meeting. The Farmington Football Team welcomed students, made announcements, gave shout-outs, & led the Pledge of Allegiance. The students were EXCITED to say the least! The football team plays Havana at home tonight. Come cheer on the FARMERS! #FarmerFun #ENJOY



Good morning! Bus routes 8 and 10 will be combining today, Friday, September 2. Pick up times may be effected. Parents of students on these routes should have received a phone notification; please call District Office if you didn't. Thank you for your patience.

Today the hunt was on for our kindergarten classes looking for their missing gingerbread cookies. They stopped in classes looking for clues, and even found Mr. Reeder nibbling on one of the gingerbread legs!
Eventually the missing cookies were found! It was so much fun!





Due to the bus driver shortage, beginning Tuesday, September 6th, routes 8 & 10 and routes 11 & 12 will be combined until further notice in the AM and PM. We apologize for the inconvenience. Illinois Central is having a hard time finding drivers at this time. Thank you and have a nice weekend!


Tomorrow, Friday Sept 2, FCES students will celebrate completing our 3rd week of school & heading into the Labor Day weekend with a SIP Day picnic! Just like any other typical day at FCES, students should bring a sack lunch or purchase a lunch from the cafeteria. The only difference for tomorrow is that students will get to eat outside or in the classroom for a class picnic!
Our students had a blast doing this last year & we look forward to doing this again!


Good morning! Bus routes 8 and 10 will be combined this morning, Monday, August 29. Pick up times may be later.

⭐#THANKFUL THURSDAY!⭐
FCES is very thankful for our AMAZING faculty & staff & all they do to serve our students & families! One way we show our appreciation is through #ThankfulThursday. This week's Thankful Thursday was awarded to the following FANTASTIC faculty/staff members:
Mrs. Holloway- 1st Grade
Mrs. Thurman- 1st Grade
Mrs. Fleisher- Student Facilitator

Bus routes 8 & 10 have to be combined today due to lack of bus drivers. Pick up times will be delayed. Please be patient.

3rd Grade 7 Habits Team Building!
Ms. Fisher & Mrs. Hanlin's 3rd graders, recently, did a team building activity which included 2 of our Habits of Happy Kids. Groups were challenged to create & implement a plan. Students had to work together to construct a building while just using raw spaghetti & marshmallows. Check out all the fun!




Hello, Families!
FCES is having an excellent start to the school year! This includes our continued incorporation of the Leader in Me program: 7 Habits of Happy Kids. The first couple weeks teachers spend time building relationships with our students & introducing these habits through different activities. Pictured is a description of each habit. Please feel free to ask your student(s) what they have learned about these & how they can demonstrate these traits both at school & at home.



Just a friendly reminder that Picture Day is tomorrow for FCES! If you are interested in pictures, please fill out the form that was sent home or you can find the form on Parent Square & send it back with your student. Make sure your kiddos pack their smiles, as well! 😉

Bright Futures parents please check Skyward for bussing information. If anything is incorrect or changes need to be made please call the bus barn at 309-245-4231.


First Day Fun!!! Part 1
It was AWESOME having students back in the building for the first day! Enjoy some pictures from today & last night’s Open House. #FarmerFun #Enjoy





Hello, Farmers! We had an EXCELLENT turnout at our Open House last night. If you were unable to get your car tag number for student car rider pick-up, please feel free to contact the elementary office (245-1000 ext. 1) to get your student's car tag pick-up number. In addition, all students who did not receive a car tag at open house will have one sent home this week.
If you have your car tag number already, please display it prominently in your windshield. This will help speed up the car rider pick up.
We appreciate everyone's patience with this process, especially on the first day of school! Thanks, Farmers!!!


Teachers are in the building & ready to see students & families tonight for OPEN HOUSE! Here are some pictures of our teachers in action, ready to welcome our students with open arms & a year full of FUN!
