Strong Foundation for Personalized Learning is the Key to Success With the first day of school quickly approaching, I’m reminded of how far our school district has come in just one school year. Our truly remarkable students, staff and parents were the key to completing a one-year transition to a new digital learning environment incorporating over 6700 iPads in our classrooms and in our homes.

When the busses roll in on September 3, Farmington will be the largest school district in Minnesota where each student has access to a digital learning device such as an iPad to aid in their education.

As impressive as all this is and as quickly as this all seemed to happen, the truth of the matter is that Farmington schools have taken deliberate steps over several years to provide the foundation for such an exciting initiative.

To begin, our efforts with mobile technology are firmly based on goals of the Board of Education and an in-depth strategic plan to customize education for all students. The iPads are simply a part

of the “how” of a system aimed at customizing education for every student. This strategic plan was developed with input from hundreds of citizens, students and staff .

Concurrent with the development our strategic direction, teachers worked judiciously over the course of the past several years to create a culture where customizing education and reaching the needs of every student is the priority. This work took the form of multiple programs and professional development initiatives, most of which occurred behind the scenes yet have greatly benefited our students’ learning experiences. Examples of this include the development of professional learning communities where teams of teachers

work together to share information to improve results for students, curriculum mapping and the alignment of instruction and formative assessments with meaningful learning objectives, and the incorporation of instructional strategies and interventions focused on meeting kids where they’re at and taking them forward especially in literacy and mathematics.

As we begin school this year, these experiences will provide a considerable operational advantage in reaching our district strategic intent of ensuring all students reach their highest aspirations. There’s a growing sense of optimism in our schools and no shortage of excitement for moving our students, and our district forward. We appreciate your involvement and participation in your schools and your continued support for students.

Indoor Air Quality Management Plan District 192 has implemented an IAQ Management Plan that will help monitor and improve the quality of air in school buildings. Th e objectives of the IAQ Management Plan are: 1) reduce the levels of indoor air pollut-ants through preventive measures such as rou-tine maintenance activities, periodic building evaluations and inspections, and IAQ-specifi c policies; 2) provide and maintain adequate air exchanges by repairing and maintaining

ventilation equipment, which will promote a comfortable and healthful learning and work-ing environment, and; 3) respond to IAQ-related concerns and problems in a thorough and prompt manner, and to eff ectively com-municate the progress of investigations and their resolutions to all interested parties. Call Mark Stoff el at 651-460-1928 for more information.

Semi-annual Asbestos Noti cation District 192 continues its ongoing ef-forts to manage and control asbestos-contain-ing materials within the three buildings that still contain asbestos to maintain a safe and healthy environment for students, employees and other occupants. Periodic surveillance will be conducted at the Instructional Service Center, Farming-ton Elementary School and Boeckman Mid-dle School.

If you have questions, or would like to review the management plans and updated materials, please contact the District’s Asbes-tos Program Manager Mark Stoff el at 651-460-1928. Management plans are also main-tained in each of the individual building’s administrative offi ces.

Five Things to Know About the Innovation Zone With the start of the school year, Farmington Area Public Schools and Spring Lake Park Schools will begin a new program for education in Minnesota called an “Innovation Zone”. While the districts are separated by 40 miles, they share the distinction of being the two largest metro area districts to implement full integration of iPads and/or personal technology for all students.

Here’s fi ve facts to consider about the Innovation Zone while the fi nal details for the eff ort are being developed.

1. Farmington and Spring Lake Park are one of two such Innovation Zone pilot programs in the state and the only such program in the metro.

2. Innovation Zone initiatives will serve to meet the direction of the district strategic plan, while creating new systems to benefi t students statewide.

3.Innovation Zones were created by the State Legislature in 2012.

4. The Innovation Zone designation will for fi ve years.

5. The Innovation Zone designation is not a grant and does not come with any additional funding, but it does allow fl exibility from some mandates and exemptions in order to think and act creatively in customizing learning and meeting the unique needs of students

The Innovation Zone application included an illustrated video produced at no-cost to the district by national award-winning illustrator, documentary fi lmmaker and information designer Anthony Weeks. Visit the www.farmington.k12.mn.us web site or search A New Design for Education on YouTube.

Farmington Strategic Plan Mission Statement: The mission of Farmington Area Public Schools, the center of inspiration and the cultivation of ideas, is to ensure each student reaches his or her highest aspirations while embracing responsibility to community.
