Hats off to our Volunteers! Thanks to all of the parent organization leaders who joined us for the 2nd annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Over dinner, these officers from PTO/PTC and Booster groups across the district learned more about facilities plans and construction projects; the work underway to revise our Continuous School Improvement Plan and the district budget. The Q&A was lively as they broke into small groups led by Superintendent, Dr. St. Pierre, and CFO , Mr. Whittle. They shared celebrations from this year and goals for next. The evening ended with some networking bingo, helping build relationships between schools. Thank you to our parent leaders and to all of our volunteers as we wrap up National Public School Volunteer Week. It takes us all to Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel.

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
