The last two weeks have been nothing short of complete chaos. Every teacher, in every district, in every state, scrambled to figure out "how do I become an online teacher in a matter of days?"
FPS would like to applaud you for stepping up and taking this on and we are not just talking about our teachers. Each and every one of you faced your fears, learned new skills, and managed your own households, all while trying to do a different job than you were hired to do.
Words cannot express how proud we are! Thank you for your dedication, determination, and ability to make this happen in less than a week! This has not been easy or painless, we know. From our hearts, thank you for making sure our children have what they need during this very difficult time! We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you! #fpstogether #caringcommunity

FPS Donates Needed Items
Farmington Public Schools was happy to drop off eye goggles, sanitizer wipes, hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, and disposable masks to the Beaumont Drop Off Center. Thank you to Melissa Mitchell, Jim Pearse, and Steve Umscheid for helping to locate these items. Thank you to Jim and Denise White for delivering them to Beaumont. The District has put out another call to staff to see if they have any of these items at their schools that we can retrieve and donate. By working together, we will beat this.

School Ideas
• Record a morning greeting for your students and email it out daily. (Include weather, shout outs to students/teachers, a new website to check out, the pledge of allegiance, etc.)
• Create Spirit Week that students can do from home. They can post pictures on your Facebook page.
• Provide Office Hours where parents can sign up to have a meeting or phone call with you.
• Write good ole' fashioned letters or postcards to your students. Who doesn't love getting actual mail?
Email your wonderful ideas to:

Linda Fox, Athletic Director, retires after 30 years with FPS
Linda began her career with FPS 30 years ago, as a math teacher at Harrison High School. She transitioned to North Farmington High School where she served as an Assistant Principal for eight years. Leaving North, she moved to East Middle School to serve as the Assistant Principal. While serving as an assistant principal at East, she took on the additional role as the District’s Athletic Director.
“While I love working with all of you and the role I have in the District, I want to spend more time with my husband and parents,” stated Linda when she announced her retirement.
Linda is FPS through and through. Many may not know that Lanigan Elementary School was named after her father, Al Lanigan, who was a long time, beloved principal of the school. She is also married to Duane Fox, a retired Farmington Hills School Resource Officer.
We wish Linda well on her retirement and wish her many wonderful travels when we are no longer expected to stay home!! Needless to say, this was not how she thought her retirement would start.
Jon Manier who was serving as Interim Principal at Farmington High School has been named as the new District Athletic Director.
