ZT Families,
Please fill out the Comprehensive School Survey. We currently have 16% of families complete. If we can get to 80% we will have ice cream for all of the students.

Remember, even though the school is closing in May we will still use this information. I will use the school leadership results to guide me as an instructional leader no matter where I am next year and the district will use the district leadership results to help guide them.

ZT Family,

As I am sure you have seen, we are going to be on NTI tomorrow, January 30, 2026.

Starting on Monday, we will be available for any family in grades K-4 that needs to enroll in a school for next year. Remember, we will have support on site until 5:30 pm this Wednesday, February 4, to assist families in this process as well.

Finally, if you haven't already done so, please fill out the Comprehensive School Survey. Even though ZT is closing at the end of the year, I will still get the data and use this information to grow as a school leader.

Thank you,

NTI DAY | Today, our teams spent the day evaluating road conditions and school campuses across the District. While many main roads remain in good shape, several side streets and neighborhood roadways are still icy.

These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

ZT Guardians,

Please click on the link or scan the QR code to complete the Comprehensive School Survey. The district will use this information when making decisions about next year.

I know ZT won't be here next year, but the district can use the feedback. Also, no matter where I land, I will use the feedback about school leadership to help me grow as a school leader.

If we can get our parent/guardian participation rate to 80%, we will have a reward for all of the students.

Thank you,
Mrs. Cravens
