Those aren't elves on the roof at this time of year. You might have noticed the roofing work this summer at several of our schools in the North High Boundary. In addition to our scheduled upgrades and repairs, our Facilities and Construction team is also working with contractors to complete insurance work that resulted from the March 2024 hail storm. The district strives to schedule roofing work when students and staff are out of the building, which limits how much can be tackled at a time. Three schools are on schedule to be complete before classes start Aug. 25. Connect with the quarterly construction update here: bit.ly/Q426-community-report

Thank you to our guests this morning at the Transportation Center! They came for the tour and stayed for the conversation. There is another chance to join us at 6 p.m., June 30. Enter from Salt River Road.
Guests used colored dots to answer a few questions as they toured, including one that let us know how we're doing creating safe, welcoming environments at our facilities. Then they broke into small groups to discuss a few questions together.

You might not recognize your school right now. "To get that “back-to-school smell,” and that “back-to-school shine,” our teams basically take it apart and put it together again," Superintendent Dr. Henry St. Pierre wrote in his monthly note to staff. "They scrub, scrape, buff and shine every inch along the way." Every keyboard, every desk, every tile across more than 3 million square feet of our schools will be scoured, sanitized and even waxed. The result? Smiling students and nostalgic parents celebrating that Back-To-School shine. Thanks for your dedication to having everything just right when staff and students return in August.
Welcome Mrs. Shannon Findley, Principal at Ostmann Elementary! Learn more about Mrs. Findley at fz.k12.mo.us
That's a wrap! The past two weeks have been filled with exciting experiments and inspiring inquiry at our annual STEAM camps for elementary students. Special thanks to the GM reps who spent time coaching students to design a grabber with the supplies on hand and then racing to see which team could collect the most paper balls before the buzzer went off. Camp might be over, but learning never stops!
Due to the inclement weather in the forecast, all activities and camps scheduled for after 5 p.m. tonight, June 17, 2026, are canceled.
Welcome Dr. Aaron Wright, Activities Coordinator at North High! Learn more about Dr. Wright at fz.k12.mo.us
Building the workforce of tomorrow means empowering students’ ideas today. Congratulations to the Project Lead The Way students who took part in the annual PLTW Capstone Showcase and Awards! Projects were presented from across the region. fz.k12.mo.us/article/2987375
You might have seen it from the highway. On two separate days rooftop units were lifted into place at North Middle as the HVAC replacement project is in full swing. Inside, unit ventilators have been removed from classrooms. The new systems don’t require the noisy ventilators and their removal has freed up a few square feet of space per room. The process is also underway at Pheasant Point, Rock Creek and Westhoff elementary schools. By the end of the summer, HVAC systems will have been updated at 14 schools since voters approved Prop 4 in 2022.
Did you know more than 70 #FZSD students earned the Missouri Seal of Biliteracy this year? Two students earned the seal in TWO languages! Learn more about the work behind the recognition and see the full list of students we're celebrating for this honor on our website: fz.k12.mo.us/article/2982378
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Bulldogs!
What happens when businesses partner with public schools to do what’s best for kids? They empower the workforce of tomorrow! Congratulations to the newest Certified Apprentices from across St. Charles County’s five public school districts, who were recognized at a recent celebration. Students and families wanting to explore the program were able to talk with coordinators, employers and alumni who have completed the program during the event. Watch for information on FZSD’s next apprenticeship night in the fall. Have questions now? Start at go.FZSD.us/Apprenticeships
Did you hear? FZN football coach Joe Bacon was recently inducted into the St. Louis Metro Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame! Bacon began with the program as an assistant coach in 1997 and has been head coach since 2008. Under his leadership, the team is 151–58, has 13 conference titles and 9 district titles. The team has appeared in four state semifinal games and played for the state title in 2016. Congrats!
For our crews, summer means full speed ahead! Custodial teams have already prepped buildings hosting summer programs, which start Monday. Unit ventilators are being removed at four schools getting new HVAC and, you might have noticed, work is underway on the parking lots at West High (shown) and North High. Maintenance and upgrades made possible through community support of FZ Prop 4 in 2022. Thank you!
Please be aware that St. Charles County Emergency Responders are conducting training exercises today at several school locations on Tom Ginnever Avenue in North O’Fallon, including the FZSD Professional Development and Technology Center.
It's official! Congratulations to the West High Class of 2026!
