If it seems that you've been hearing that a lot of your student's friends have been sick, you're not alone. Our team of school nurses has noticed it, too, and shares a few key reminders to help you and your student(s) stay healthy as we all look toward the end of cold and flu season.
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the restroom and before eating.
2. When you need to cough or sneeze, do so into a tissue or your elbow
3. Stay home/keep your student home when feeling sick
Our nurses are so thankful to have you on their team as they work to keep our students and our schools healthy. Remember, you can find the graphic below any time on our website under Clinics, Health and Wellness.

Thank you, #FZCommunity! Together you took the Kids Heart Challenge and raised $179,000 last year to fund research and more through the American Heart Association. Special S/O to Progress South Elementary, the top school in the state. The Eagles raised $30,000 and educated 118 families on hands-only CPR. “This skill is so important as so many of our young students spend more time with older adults who care for them,” Schnettgoecke said, adding that helping students recognize warning signs and call 911 can save lives. Then she introduced the state’s top fundraiser, Mason, who raised $6,000 last year. The annual Kids Heart Challenge will be back next month. Watch your school for information.

The timing of the recent winter storm has presented a number of challenges for Fort Zumwalt’s final exam schedule. With Thursday being our fourth inclement weather day in a row, any further delay of finals will impact second semester plans. Because of these unique circumstances:
High school students will have a half-day AMI Day tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 10. Currently, students are scheduled to attend their first semester classes on the A Day schedule Monday. Second semester will begin Tuesday, Jan. 14.
FINAL EXAMS WILL BE OPTIONAL. Students will not be required to take finals. There will be an opportunity for students who wish to improve their current semester grade to take one or more final exams during a make-up session arranged by their school. For students who elect this option, any final exam score will only be added to the gradebook if it improves their semester grade.
Each school will share arrangements for students needing to take finals in dual credit courses; End-of-Course (EOC) exams or Industry Recognized Credentials (IRC) exams. While all students will be held harmless for school final exams, the requirements for dual credit classes or IRCs are determined by their issuing institution. Please contact your student’s counselor if you have questions.
Additional information about final exam schedules will come by email directly from your school later today.
