Fort Zumwalt School District

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

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.

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.

Do you remember homeroom? It probably didn't look like this.

During Mustang Minutes, South Middle students focus on building leadership skills by learning about synergy. Working together to solve a problem encourages students to share their ideas, listen to those of others and collaborate to find the best solution.

I'm excited to introduce our Triple E Impact Awards---a great way to recognize our incredible team members who live out our mission, To Educate, Empower, and Equip Students to Excel. Forest Park Office Professional Julia Marlowe and Pheasant Point Special Education Teacher Amy Gourley are two very worthy recipients.

For the eighth consecutive year, each of Fort Zumwalt School District’s four comprehensive high schools ranks among America’s Best High Schools according to US News & World Report. The rankings put all four schools in the top 12 percent of high schools nationally. Fort Zumwalt high schools are ranked among the Top 10 percent of the 359 Missouri high schools on the list. This is not only recognition of the work that is being done at our high schools, but also of the foundation our students receive at our elementary and middle schools, which have also been recognized by US News & World Report.
