#TeacherProud
It was a great day of learning across the Fort, where students were off but our #LifelongLearners were hard at work in Professional Development. Growing #FZSD teachers grows #FZSD students. Our teachers led colleagues in sessions ranging from English Language Arts to student wellness. Guest speakers were on hand to lead larger sessions, such as the one from Dr. Amber Selking on the power of a positive mindset. Commitment. Collaboration. #FZAllMeansAll @MOEducation @GovMikeParson @EducationPlusStl

Checking in with FZS Industrial Tech and Engineering. FZ students can begin exploring woods, metals and mass media in seventh grade, but high school course offerings expand quickly. Students in the drafting pathway begin with the basics of creating mechanical or architectural drawings by hand and on industry standard software. Capstone projects can include professional certification in 3D Solidworks. Students in woods engineering begin with safety basics. Once proficient, Woods I students create a range of projects that introduce them to tools and techniques they can refine and apply to capstone projects in later courses. Metals engineering students begin with safety basics and, once proficient, create a series of projects that introduce them to tools and techniques they have the opportunity to master in higher level classes. Learn more about Industrial Tech and Engineering in our high school course guide and at ZumwaltApprenticeships.com.

S/O & Congrats to the South High Girls Tennis Team, the first Gateway Athletic Conference team to make it to the State Final Four! The Bulldogs defeated St. Pius X in the MSHSAA Class 2 State Semifinals before falling to Ladue in the State Championship. Way to go Bulldogs!
Checking in at JL Mudd Elementary, where Technology teacher Abigail Hawkins is marking #DigitalCitizenship week, as are her peers across #FZSD. Hawkins works with Kindergarteners, first-graders and second-graders to build technical skills that will help them in their academics and in their daily interactions online. Typing, creating presentations, how to make good choices online. You can learn more about our elementary Technology classes, and what our students know about being good digital citizens, in the newest FORTiTUDE podcast: bit.ly/3yMomVp
Did you know #FZSD is a #USDOL Certified Apprenticeship Program? (L to R) Dan Claypool, CEO of Merric Millwork and Seating, Andy McHaffie, East High teacher and FZ Apprenticeship Coordinator, Dr. Patrick Brown, FZ Executive Director of STEM & CTE, and Dan Fitter, CEO of Quest Specialty Products, introduced the St. Charles County Council to the program at their meeting last week.

Wishing @FZN_Panthers a fun, safe Homecoming!
It's National Principals Appreciation Month and, though they'd rather we focused on teaching and learning than on them, they deserve
a HUGE S/O and THANKS!
Instructional Leader. Plant Manager. Teacher. PAL. Just a few of the hats they wear daily. Thanks for all you do.
#DigitalCitizenship week is almost here! Check out the progress of our Elementary Technology classes. They started by in 2016 by introducing students K - 5 to the basics, now they are working with every student as an author. Tune in here: https://www.fz.k12.mo.us/article/866169

Checking in with Camp on Campus where we saw archers, communicators, team builders and explorers across the district as the Class of 2030 (Fifth Grade!) took on their outdoor education unit. Over the course of a week the classroom moves outside whenever possible. Students come together for team building activities, do some geocaching and take in special sessions from outside presenters. The experience crosses curriculum, from life science and writing to art, music and PE, getting students up, moving, and discovering.
Public Service Announcement:
The St. Charles County Department of Public Health will partner with area organizations to provide FREE flu shots to those ages 6 months and older during a drive-through vaccination clinic from 2:30 – 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 21 on the Yellow Parking Lot at St. Charles Community College.

Checking in at Flint Hill Elementary where Dana Mueller’s fourth-graders are focused on informational, scientific texts. Make no bones about it, they are deep into reading about skeletons! The students read about a variety of skeletons of living things, then learn how skeletons and muscles work together to move our bodies, and lastly study an account of how archeologists were able to locate and identify the skeletal remains of King Richard III.
Along the way, students learn about plenty of nonfiction text features such as headings, diagrams, and captions. And, of course, they are bulking up that vocabulary! They closed the unit by putting all of these new skills and knowledge together, writing informational pieces, and creating infographics about ways humans use bones and muscles in sports, and how animals use structures of their bodies to survive in their habitats.
Checking in at Westhoff Elementary with music educator Emily Satterfield and some of her fourth grade students. They were focused on playing a C chord, but working on so much more. Playing the ukulele builds body awareness and cognitive skills. Working together builds communication skills and social connections. Most importantly, working together makes music, and making music is fun!
