All activities and facilities usage in Fort Zumwalt School District are canceled today, Jan. 10, 2025.

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.

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.

WMS kicked off Cocoa for Compliments this morning. Students shared a written compliment in exchange for a cup of cocoa while listening to the sounds of the season performed by our band teachers.



Rebecca VanSant’s 6th grade math class at West Middle is an exercise in constant motion. Keeping 11- and 12-year-olds engaged in fractions, percentages and geometry requires planning and flexibility. On any given day you will find her circling her class providing one-on-one support and tuning in to student-led conversations.
It’s this collaborative piece of K-8 math classes in Fort Zumwalt that many adults would find surprising. Students work together to find solutions and learn from each other’s thinking. VanSant and middle school math teachers create opportunity for students to learn from each other. It’s in this environment that they learn to communicate their strategies, experience constructive criticism and open their own thinking to classmates who have found another route to the same solution. Building the workforce of tomorrow one middle school math problem at a time. It’s in our mission: Educate, empower and equip students to excel. #FZEquipToExcel
