Go for the GOLD earns State Exemplar Recognition from NCDPI

Farmington Woods is proud to support student academic and behavioral success in school through the implementation of our Positive Behavior and Intervention Support program. Our school expectations are that students will consistently Go for the GOLD: Give and earn respect, Own your action, Lead by example and Demonstrate cooperation. Our students earn positive recognition individually and as a whole class when they demonstrate these expectations throughout the day. Our program was developed by teachers and parents and we reflect each year and make adjustments when needed. 

Certified in the Magnet Schools of America Standards of Excellence! 

Farmington Woods IB/PYP Magnet Elementary School was among the first 55 schools located in 12 states (AL, CA, CT, FL, LA, MD, NC, NV, SC, TN, TX, and WI) to successfully complete an approximately nine month evaluation process and demonstrate through evidence, reflection, and strategic action that it has established the best practices entailed in the Magnet School Standards of Excellence. 

“In an increasingly complex school choice environment, parents, families, students, and local communities can be confident that each nationally certified magnet school is held to the same high standards,” said MSA Executive Director Todd Mann. “The certification process is groundbreaking and the first of its kind. It was created to recognize our most exemplary magnet programs.”

The national certification process is based on the Magnet School Standards of Excellence and the five pillars of magnet schools (diversity; innovative curriculum and professional development; academic excellence; high quality instructional systems; and, family and community partnerships). These pillars and standards define the essential elements and characteristics of high-quality magnet programs.
