FPE students have been learning and leading for 100 days!
Teachers are learners! This afternoon FPE and JLM teachers came together to talk about developing phonics in the reading process throughout K-5.
Do you know someone who will be 5 years old on or before July 31? Then it's time to get ready for Kindergarten! Enrollment day is March 5. Learn more on our website.
Set time for your soon-to-be Kindergartener to meet one of our Parent Educators for a Kindergarten Screening to help you monitor development, gain information that will help with individual growth, detect any potential delays and, provide support for intervention and enrichment. Sign-up for your student's Kindergarten Screening Today at go.FZSD.us/Kready
The Educator of the Year is Mrs. Holmes, and the Employee of the Year is Mrs. Marlowe.
Mrs. Holmes is a third-grade teacher and building leader. Mrs. Marlowe is the Principal Secretary and goes above and beyond daily. Thank you for your leadership and dedication to FPE!
Niko, a fifth-grade student in Ms. Wolk's class, was the Forest Park representative at the Fort Zumwalt District Spelling Bee. He did a great job!
It has been a great week back at school! Third graders are creating city landscapes in art, fourth graders are learning about Missouri state symbols, and Officer Shepherd with the O'Fallon Police Department started DARE lessons with our fifth graders. And while we are still inside for recess, students have had fun reconnecting after a long winter break.

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.
Do you want to build a snowman? Mrs. Beckham challenged students to build a paper snowman using only 5 pieces of paper and 24 inches of tape. Markers were used for decoration only. Try this challenge with your families over winter break!
Today fourth graders held their annual Comic Con! Students worked through the writing process over multiple days, writing their own superhero stories. Today students gathered together to share their published stories and celebrate their hard work!
Congratulations to all students who participated in the FPE Spelling Bee! Our top three spellers this year were Niko, William, and Avy. The championship word today was "demigod" which Niko spelled correctly! Niko will be representing FPE at the district bee in January!
It's one of our favorite days of the year - Reading Buddies with JL Mudd! This morning third graders went to read with kindergartners, all other grades will participate this afternoon. Reading Buddies allows us to build community with our K-2 friends and gives students a chance to practice reading fluency and reading with expression in a very meaningful setting.
