There are so many ways to explore music in #FZSD!

Meet Ms. Ballmann, the #FZSD 2019 Educator of the Year was one of the first to graduate from our Grow Your Own Teacher program. She and 16 other FZ teachers have come through the program and 9 more are working on their degrees to join the team. Seniors interested in becoming educators should talk to their counselors about applying. The award provides winners $4,000 per semester and the opportunity to teach in FZ a high needs area (math, science, special ed).
Tomorrow, 9/5/2023, is an A day at all schools.

Thank you @GovMikeParson for visiting our @departmentoflabor certified Zumwalt Apprenticeship Program today at Fort Zumwalt East High. After speaking with three Zumwalt apprentices about their hands-on experiences and their plans for after graduation, he stopped by to check out lunch in the East High cafeteria before joining special guests and a group of social studies students for a ceremonial bill signing.

For the sixth 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. Of the nearly 18,000 schools ranked, only the top 40 percent earned eligibility to display a U.S. News Best High Schools 2023 badge. U.S. News “Best” badges are widely recognized as symbols of excellence in U.S. education.
The rankings are produced in conjunction with RTI International, a global research firm. U.S. News doesn’t collect data directly from high schools – all data comes directly from official third-party sources.
The national rankings for the four Fort Zumwalt high schools put them in the top 21 percent of high schools in the country. The Best High Schools list is also broken out by state and region. There are almost 800 public high schools in Missouri, US News ranks Fort Zumwalt South, West, East and North in the Top 44.
S/O and thank you to our community partners Compass Health and our team in Student Services and Health Services. In three short days they pulled together our first immunization clinic for #FZSD families. School nurses, administrators and district interpreters helped get the word out to families in need, almost 30 of whom were able to get student immunizations updated at the clinic, free of charge. Families were in and out of the clinic in about 15 minutes, and were so thankful for the service. Thank you Compass Health! #FZEquipToExcel #FZCommunity

It doesn't take long for students to find their groove. At South High, students were getting a refresher in Mrs. Sanders Physics' classroom while at Emge, 2nd graders were logging in with Ms. Billingsly for Technology class. Over at North Middle, lockers are no problem on the 6th grade hallway and 8th graders were building communication skills with Mrs. Brown. #FZEquipToExcel
