Calling all ZT library books! 📚 If your child still has a book checked out, a letter was sent home with them yesterday. All ZT books will be distributed to the other elementary schools in our cluster this summer.
We are NOT collecting money for missing books this year. Every student with all books turned in will get a popsicle during our silent disco on Monday!
Please see the updated time for awards. The initial form had the wrong end time for 3rd grade.
🩺 NATIONAL SCHOOL NURSE DAY 💙 | They are the first call when a student isn't feeling well, the calm voice in an emergency, and a trusted presence for thousands of students every single day.
Today we celebrate our JCPS school nurses—compassionate, skilled, and absolutely essential. Thank you for taking care of our kids!

❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.
"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

One for the nostalgia file: if you grew up in the eighties or nineties, you remember the ritual — the BOOK IT! button, the monthly certificate, the Personal Pan Pizza you carried out of Pizza Hut like spoils of war. Summer of Stories, BOOK IT!'s summer edition, is back: enrollment opens tomorrow, and it runs June 1 through August 31 for kids in pre-K through sixth grade. Same deal as ever — hit your monthly reading goal, get a free pizza.
