Fort Zumwalt School District

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.

Actors and technicians from across FZSD attended workshops, entered competitions and applied for scholarships at the annual state conference. East High’s Sean Lawson and North High’s Katie Heisler earned roles in the 2027 Missouri State Thespian Conference performance, which will be performed next winter in front of more than 2,000 Missouri high school thespians. North High’s Artemis Clark earned a spot on the Deck Crew for the upcoming performance. More on our performers at go.FZSD.us/Arts
