Last week, 40 students were recognized for achieving perfect attendance in 2025—an amazing accomplishment to celebrate! The Native American Programs team proudly honored these students for their dedication. Impressively, one student has maintained perfect attendance for four consecutive years!
At Farmington Municipal Schools, we believe every school day matters. When students are present, they gain not only academic knowledge but also valuable experiences through peer interactions and hands-on activities that can't be replicated again. That’s why Goal 1 at FMS is to foster a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture.
Please join us in celebrating the outstanding commitment of these students. Keep up the great work!

Research from Attendance Works shows that chronic absenteeism can impact a child’s ability to read proficiently by third grade, and even increase the risk of being held back. Consistent attendance is a key factor in student success.
