Outdoor Hot Spots are ready to use at East Middle School and North Farmington High School
Farmington Public Schools has installed Outdoor Wireless Access Points (AP) at East Middle School and North Farmington High School.   This will allow for a wireless device (mobile phone, laptop, Chromebook or Ipad) to connect to the FPS Guest network. The outdoor drive-up locations will allow students and their families to remain socially separated, and have access to District applications along with the ability to download files and upload assignments.   The outdoor Wi-Fi zones are accessible seven days a week.
At East Middle School, the Access Point is located in the Staff Parking Lot on the North side of the school.

East Middle School is located at 25000 Middlebelt Road in Farmington Hills.
At North Farmington High School, the Access Point is located in the Student Parking Lot on the West side of the school.

Farmington/Farmington Education Foundation moves their Toast to Education Fundraiser to November 5, 2021
This Friday would have been the Education Foundation's Annual Fundraiser Toast to Education, but due to the pandemic, the Toast has been rescheduled to next year on Friday, November 5, 2021. While we will miss being together for this fun event, the Foundation is busy preparing for next year's event.

Please consider donating to support the Education Foundation in funding grants to teacher and the schools.

District has plan for the reporting and handling of COVID-19 cases in the school
The District's Wellness Committee has created the following flow charts on what to do if someone suspects they may have or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19. These flow charts will help you to know who to contact.




School districts are directed to report the confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 to the community. You can find Farmington Public Schools' information here:


While the announcement yesterday of moving our start of in-person learning to at least November 16 was not what we had hoped to have happen, we assure you that the District will continue to work with the Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) and will update you along the way. The OCHD has stated that they will provide more information to districts on Wednesday, November 4. Thank you again for your continued support as we navigate our way through the pandemic.
Next School Board of Education Meeting set for Tuesday, November 10
While we had hoped to move to in-person school board meetings, with the rising cases of COVID-19 and the increased restrictions for gatherings, we will continue to hold our School Board Meetings remotely.

Board meetings are cablecast LIVE on TV-10 (Channel 210 for those with Spectrum Cable) and live streamed on the District's website.  

All information about the Remote School Board Meetings can be found here.
