Ostmann Elementary School

November means the weather can turn any time. Be ready for inclement weather:

1. Remember FZSD will use online learning days (AMI Days) first
2. When inclement weather is in the forecast, remind students to bring home whatever they need for an AMI Day, including Chromebooks and chargers.
3. Make sure your contact information is up to date so you are the first to know if there is a change to the school day.

Bookmark go.FZSD.us/AMIDays for all of the information you need, including PreK-5 AMI Day packets and be prepared for inclement weather.

Teachers spent Professional Development time today learning about PLCs. The Coaching Academy team presented and teams collaborated during various activities. Staff also worked in Action Teams and reviewed Panorama data. Paras had a full day of PD, developing their skills of supporting student learning.

First grade students engaged in various activities pretending that they were doctors. This culminating activity was a fun way to celebrate their unit on the body systems.

It was a beautiful day to create a number line to 400. Each 100 was circled!

The first week of school was remarkable. Students arrived ready for a new adventure: learning new things, making new friends, and showing up as a leader!

Meet the Teacher and Back to School Kickoff were a success! Today our youngest Explorers took a tour, met the OES staff and played on the playground. We can't wait to see everyone back on the first day of school!

The West side kickoff was full of fun, and motivation. One of our students, Owen F., was able to share celebrations from last year and about OES’s goal setting. We are ready to Dream Big, Work Hard, and Lead Together!

Despite the rain, Principal Pop-Ups brought the sunshine! Thanks to all who joined us today to meet the Admin team and share the excitement of getting ready to head back to school!

Principal Pop-ups were a hit today! Families enjoyed a cool treat and met Mrs. Findley and Mrs.Papuga. Round 2 on Thursday!

Our HR team is ready to meet you! Tomorrow from 10-12 at our Professional Development Center. If you're looking for a career shift or are curious about the many roles in our district that support teaching and learning, join us at the Hiring Summit. We can't wait to meet you! go.FZSD.us/WorkForFZSD

Wishing a very Happy Father's Day to all of Explorer Nation!

Summer events in the community are fun for all! A big shout out to Ms. Ragan and the OES choir for a beautifully sung National Anthem at the O'Fallon Hoots game!

Remembering and honoring our fallen soldiers and wishing Explorer Nation a Happy Memorial Day.

So proud of Fort Zumwalt West High Class of 2026, Ostmann's 5th grade class of 2019! #ExplorerNation

Our first ever Trivia Night was a blast! So many prizes and winners! We hope everyone enjoyed the last PTO event of the 25-26 school year!
