Special S/O to our community guests! It takes us all!
Bob and Andy were honored to lead students at Twin Chimneys Elementary in the Pledge of Allegiance on the Navy's birthday last month.
Our veterans continue to serve us in every corner of our community: on fire departments and police departments; in offices and hospitals; and in our Fort Zumwalt schools.
Thank you for your continued service and for sharing your leadership skills with our students.
Proud family members helped Zumwalt Apprenticeships celebrate apprentices newly certified by the United States Department of Labor and new signees in the program’s Education, Culinary, Health Care, IT/Computer Science and Skilled Trades strands. The program, in its sixth year, has 81 active apprentices and 26 who have graduated the program with their certification. Fort Zumwalt works with 27 partnering companies offering students opportunities to earn as they learn in 14 different occupations. Many of these partners were on hand to answer questions from parents and students interested in the program. Learn more at go.FZSD.us/Apprenticeships

Why are flags at half-staff? By order of the governor, U.S. and Missouri flags will be flown at half-staff in honor of former Vice President Dick Cheney beginning today and continuing through the day of the former vice president's interment, which has yet to be announced. https://bit.ly/4hE5qgs
Adults need reminders, too. This one comes from the Early Childhood Center.
"Sometimes you
forget that
you're awesome
so this is your
reminder."
Connecting with our community is a priority, which is why twice each year we host a luncheon for residents of our district who are older than 55. We call it Soup’s On! Our most recent event was our largest yet.
Guests pre-register by calling District Office and are treated to lunch from our Student Nutrition Services Department. Chef Jeff did not disappoint, and it was the perfect day for a bowl of chili. Superintendent, Dr. Henry St. Pierre was on hand to visit with guests one-on-one and then shared an update on our construction, maintenance and renovations program.
“I look at these schools and I see your investment,” Dr. St. Pierre told the group, as many nodded in agreement. “We pride ourselves on treating each of these properties as we do our own homes. But, when you’re talking about more than 30 properties, that takes a lot for us to keep up.”
After a Q&A, guests heard about other ways to be involved with their schools, including working as substitute custodians. Several signed up to learn more after hearing a shift could be as little as two hours, gain them some pocket money and fill an important gap for the custodial team, who ensures our schools are safe, welcoming places to learn.
Our second event for this school year is scheduled for April 2. Learn more in the Events section of our website.

How do you feel when we say: "6th-grade math"? West Middle School teacher Becky Van Sant wants you to feel empowered, which is why she has this message posted just inside her classroom door for students to see each day:
It is okay to:
Be yourself
Ask for help
Not know it all
Make mistakes
Have hard days
Feel your feelings
Start over again
Connecting with our community is a priority, which is why we have sent quarterly newsletters to thousands of mailboxes. But, as the latest edition went to print, our vendor notified us that portions of our district are no longer covered by this service. We strive to connect with all of our neighbors, but printing and mailing are becoming cost prohibitive. We are searching for other services to continue to provide this quarterly update in print, but please encourage FZSD residents to subscribe for this quarterly electronic update.
