Dear Fort Zumwalt families,
Out of an abundance of caution, the district will use an AMI Day on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025. District leaders have been monitoring conditions across the district all day and, though things are much improved in many areas, a number of roads remain hazardous and, in quite a few neighborhoods, even impassable.
Thank you to our maintenance and custodial team members, who have put great effort into preparing our buildings for staff and students to return. It has been more than 10 years since our community has dealt with a storm like this, and we appreciate their efforts to have campuses ready.
High school students and families should watch for an email update from your school tomorrow, Jan. 9. Students Pre-K - 8 are already scheduled to be off Friday for a Records Day.
Thank you for your patience as we are all working through this winter weather together.
Pre-K through 5 - AMI Packet No. 3
6 - 12 Login to Canvas

Due to the continued hazardous road conditions, Wednesday, 1-8-2025 will be an AMI day in FZSD.
Grades 6 - 12 should log in to Canvas. HS should check your email for details on finals.
Pre-K - 5 should complete AMI packet No. 2.

Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, will be a traditional snow day in Fort Zumwalt School District. There will be no school Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, due to inclement weather and road conditions. Just a reminder, this means the day will have to be made up at the end of the school year.


Construction, maintenance and custodial crews are full speed ahead prepping for staff and students to return Jan. 6. Here’s a sneak peek at our new science and FACS rooms, the new courtyard and, if you look closely, the old ticket windows outside the gym. Enjoy your break.

Our NMS Orchestra did an amazing job at their Winter Concert last night.


The 6th graders did an incredible job at last night's winter choir concert, filling the room with holiday spirit! ❄️🎶 A surprise visit from Mr. Grinch (aka Dr. Blankenship) added a fun twist to the night. Great job, everyone!

The students that sold over 20 items with our school fundraiser earned a trip to the Main Event last week. The students had a great time. Even Dr. Blankenship had fun!!





For the safety of our students, please do not drop students off behind the 8th grade wing. The car drop off line is in the front of building facing highway 70. Thank you for your understanding and putting our students safety first.

There will be no school 11/27-29 for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing break. See you back at school on Monday, December 2nd.
