Our Blue Notes have been so popular with students, parents, guardians and the community that we want to give #FZCommunity the opportunity to celebrate staff each semester. So, in this season of thanks and giving, we’re opening our form up so you can send a special note to a staff member who’s special to you. Click the button below and send a Blue Note of appreciation, celebration or thanks to a staff member at your school. It will close at 5 p.m., Dec. 14, 2022. We'll be delivering them beginning Dec. 16. Let's make some noise for our amazing staff!

Checking in at Early Childhood when new Assistant Superintendent, John Schulte, visited Amy Steinhoff's Pre-K class. Schulte oversees Student Personnel Services and sat with students as they shared an important part of their day when they check-in with each other in Steinhoff's room. The daily activities help students create bonds with each other through playful, one-on-one interactions. The variety promotes language and literacy skills, increases attention span and decreases power struggles.
"Our students and staff at the Early Childhood Center were having so much fun during our visit,” Schulte says. “We are fortunate to have such caring adults helping our littles learn, grow, and play!"
Helping our littlest learners strengthen communication skills and take their first steps toward being collaborators. The Fort Zumwalt Early Childhood Center: Where Children Learn Through Play!

Bobo's Fundraiser Pick Up!
If you participated in our fundraiser, our Bobo’s Pizza fundraiser pick up is this Wednesday, October 19th from 2:45pm to 6:00pm in our upper level parking lot at the Fort Zumwalt Early Childhood Center. The pick up is a drive thru and we will place the orders directly into your car…it’s super easy! If you are already picking up your child at 3:15pm, you can remain in the car line and we will check to see if you need to pick up your order. If your child is in a classroom on the lower level, we ask that you pick up your child first, then come to the upper lot to pick up your fundraising order. We will be present until 6:00pm. All orders must be picked up on this day. If you can’t make it, you can send a friend or family member in your place. Thank you for supporting the FZ ECC!

Meet Mat Man! He’s always on the go but who is this friendly hero, Mat Man? How does he help children with handwriting? How can you start teaching children to build Mat Man?
Before children start writing, there are important concepts that need to be mastered to make writing easier for the children to learn. These early concepts, or readiness skills, include size recognition, placement, and sequence. Mat Man helps to teach these skills and simultaneously promote body awareness, socializing, and sharing.
