Welcome to the last week of the 2023-2024 school year! Important things for families to do this week:
Check for and pay fines and fees in the parent portal. (Did you know the district currently has more than $80,000 in outstanding meal account payments?)
Pick up any prescription medications from the clinic.
Remember sunscreen and water if your student(s) celebrate Field Day.
Pack a disposable lunch bag if your student(s) pack lunch on the last day.
Schedule your student(s) to get their vaccinations updated if they will be in Kindergarten, 8th or 12th grade next fall so they are ready to return in August.
Watch your email inbox for important updates this summer.
Plan your summer reading list!

How do you grow graduates interested in STEM? You start by showing little learners all the things STEM can be. At St. Peters Elementary, Science Day was a school-wide hands-on exploration, including activities led by visiting teachers from DuBray Middle and East High. There was even a “lab” with East High’s Project Lead The Way fourth-year Biomedical students. Each year, East High teacher Carrie Stowers and her students work to connect with the community. This year that meant inspiring future explorers by using simple items from the kitchen (and some super-cool goggles) to illustrate how compounds react to each other. #FZCommunity #FZEquipToExcel
Don't forget, tomorrow night we have our annual Fine Arts Fair and Diversity Night from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at St. Peters/Lewis & Clark. Also, our book fair will be open!!! Need more information?

There’s lots of reasons to get to school, but being a part of the Pig Races is tops on the list at Lewis & Clark Elementary. Each month classes work to meet, or beat, their attendance goals and earn a spot in the Trailblazer Pig Races. Winner gets the best prize of all: Bragging rights for one month.
Did you know that a student who is in school 90 percent of a school year missed about 17 days of growing? Just being at school helps students develop relationships and grow academically. #FZEquipToExcel
⚠️UPDATE Evening events are canceled in Fort Zumwalt for March 13, 2024, due to the inclement weather forecast. Thank you and be safe.
