Children learn through play. Families of students ages birth-5 years can connect with our Parents As Teachers program, which hosts group events and offers visits from our Parent Educators. Fort Zumwalt recommends all age-eligible children have a developmental screening, yearly, to assess progress in all areas of growth and development, including problem solving, communication, personal development, motor skills, health, vision and hearing. Students entering Kindergarten should be signed up for their screening to beat the summer rush. Learn more about scheduling a screening and Parents As Teachers at ecc.fz.k12.mo.us
The East High Enterprise Eatery has embraced a new mission this school year - planning appreciation lunches. The class, which focuses on developing and reinforcing marketable job skills, has hosted lunches for principals, counselors and paraprofessionals. “Planning appreciation lunches has become one of our new favorite things to do!” teacher Brooke Petry says. Collaborating with students from the Leadership class, the Enterprise Eatery creates the menu, invitations, decorations and the meal. Building the workforce of tomorrow one celebration at a time. #FZEquipToExcel.

Welcome to the home stretch! Students and staff are ready to finish strong. It's an A Day at the High Schools, a B Day at the Middle Schools and a C Day for Elementary students. Remember: Cafe menus are easy to access from your school website or in the FZ app (with the white app icon). Click Menu, then Dining. Make it a great day!
Today is Election Day. Students are off. Teachers are in Professional Development. Polls are open until 7 p.m.
Nope, you weren't imagining that shine you returned to in our schools this week. From multipurpose rooms to school offices the team travelled the district polishing up all they could so schools hosting programs this summer will be ready to Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel.
Once each month Fort Zumwalt students and staff pause for Early Release Days. On these Wednesdays, like tomorrow, students and staff celebrate progress, achievement and collaboration.
At our elementary schools, students are recognized during celebration assemblies for meeting individual or class goals. Ask your elementary student about their goals for the school year (academic and personal) and how they have tracked their progress since August. Secondary students also monitor their own progress and are able to utilize advisory time to get extra help meeting a goal if they need it or to explore something new.
Setting goals and tracking progress is equally important for our teachers. Once students are released (2.5 hours early), teachers work in Professional Learning Communities to review student data. Together they plan strategies to meet student’s individual needs. They collaborate to support each other in best practices and grow as a team and meet our mission to Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel.
We hope you had a wonderful spring break! We are ready for the home stretch, starting today, with an A day at High and Middle schools and a C Day at Elementary. Remember, you can see what's for lunch in the FZ app or on your school website. Just click Dining in the menu.
