Kindergarten in ISD 192
We provide full-day kindergarten for all families. The school day is six and a half hours long, including a morning snack break, lunch, recess, and quiet rest time. Kindergarten classes incorporate basic concepts of core academic subjects including literacy, writing, math, social studies, science, technology, health and social skills. Learners also attend special classes for art, music, and physical education, and make weekly trips to the school Media Center.
Building a Strong Foundation
At Farmington Area Public Schools, we believe in laying a strong foundation for learners’ academic journeys. Our kindergarten programs are designed to ignite curiosity and excitement in our youngest Tigers.
