It's here! Families should have received an email with details on creating your account in the new FZSD Family Portal app. (Please be sure to check your spam and junk folders before reaching out to your school about not receiving the email.) Annual Enrollment Update documents are available for you to complete so your family is ready for the first day of school Aug. 19. Thanks for your patience as we all grow together in this new system.

Welcome to the last week of the 2023-2024 school year! Important things for families to do this week:
Check for and pay fines and fees in the parent portal. (Did you know the district currently has more than $80,000 in outstanding meal account payments?)
Pick up any prescription medications from the clinic.
Remember sunscreen and water if your student(s) celebrate Field Day.
Pack a disposable lunch bag if your student(s) pack lunch on the last day.
Schedule your student(s) to get their vaccinations updated if they will be in Kindergarten, 8th or 12th grade next fall so they are ready to return in August.
Watch your email inbox for important updates this summer.
Plan your summer reading list!
