No School Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023.
Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 will be a traditional SNOW DAY in Fort Zumwalt School District. All students, teachers and staff (other than 12-month employees) will be off Wednesday, Jan. 25, due to inclement weather.

More from Reading Buddies!




Great things are happening over at JLM & FPE! Reading Buddies was a success as students and teachers were able to meet up and read together! We loved welcoming FPE into our 1st grade and kindergarten classes! Our 2nd graders got to go on a little adventure over to FPE to read with 3rd graders!





Check out kindergarten and their hard work during word study! Students worked on writing the letter "J" & "W" while making the sounds as well. Great work, Mrs. Ayers class!




There is a lot of learning still happening before we go on break next week! Check out 2nd grade and how far they have come with their writing skills!
