Supervision/Behavior

Our students are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful, responsible, and safe manner.  Once at Lagoon, students will be excused from the bus by their supervising teachers. At this point, students are free to enter the park, ride, roam, and enjoy the day. All regular school rules of appropriate behavior are enforced during this activity and while at Lagoon. This also includes the dress code.  Students are not allowed to leave the Lagoon premises.  Students are cautioned that Lagoon Day is considered a school day and should behave accordingly.  Lagoon security officers and Farmington Police Department will maintain order in the park.  Approximately 20 DPMS teachers, including at least one DPMS administrator, one guidance counselor, and our DARE resource officer will be at Lagoon with the students.
