Principal's Corner
Riverview Families,
As you likely know, the Farmington Area Public School Board voted to schedule a referendum election for this fall. It is vital for all district parents, preschool parents and community residents to learn about the ballot question and vote in the election. One way to learn more is to watch these short informational videos explaining the ballot question, the tax impact, and more:
There are three ways to vote in the election:
Absentee voting which began on September 22 and continues to be available
Direct balloting or early voting which began Friday, October 20
At your assigned polling place on Tuesday, November 7, between 7am and 8pm.
More information about the levy proposal and how to vote is on the district website at http://www.farmington.k12.mn.us. Thank you for your continued support of Farmington Area Public Schools.
Best wishes for a great week!
Shawn Peck
Principal
