Dear Families,    As many of you may be aware, we have been experiencing heat-related challenges, as our HVAC units have been struggling to maintain building temperatures at the levels we typically expect.  We have been monitoring classroom temperatures diligently throughout the day, as student safety is our biggest priority.   As we navigate the remainder of the week, we are receiving additional, portable HVAC units to place around the building, along with additional fans.  We have also been proactive in moving students and their teachers into spaces that are less impacted.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you, Mr. Marc Schultz mschultz@fz.k12.Mo.us 636-474-3999
