Is your student headed to Kindergarten this fall? Be sure to sign-up for some time with one of our Parents Educators to help you and your child get ready. Parent Educators have screening times available the week of July 14 at the Early Childhood Center. If you live in Fort Zumwalt School District and your child will be 5 years old on or before July 31, it's time to get ready for Kindergarten! https://bit.ly/4k8fgqy

🎉 MAP Prize Winners! 🎉
We had a great time celebrating some of our students who were randomly selected to win prizes after completing their MAP testing! 🏆✨
All students took time to reflect on their work and growth by completing a self-reflection ticket, and we are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance throughout the testing window. 💪📚
While not everyone could win a prize, every student deserves recognition for the effort they put in — and our winners were SO excited to be chosen! 🎁🙌
Way to go, Firebirds! 🔥

Our kindergarteners had a blast at today’s picnic! Smiles, snacks, and sunshine made for the perfect afternoon!

It's official! Congratulations North High Class of 2025! 📸@AmeliaRiney, @AudraSalvo,



🎓✨ Today was a truly special day at Flint Hill Elementary as we welcomed back our North High graduates for their Grad Walk!
Our hallways were filled with cheers, high-fives, and happy tears as our former Firebirds returned home to the nest—walking the same halls where their educational journey began. 💙🔥
What an inspiring moment for our current students to see such incredible role models and celebrate all the hard work, dedication, and dreams achieved.
💫 Once a Firebird, Always a Firebird. Congratulations, grads! We’re so proud of you! 🎉 #FZGradWalk2025#FirebirdPride #OnceAFirebirdAlwaysAFirebird



🌞 Mrs. Cross’s kindergarteners start their day with a warm morning welcome, setting the schedule, reviewing learning goals, and building number sense through their daily math calendar! It’s such a joy to see these young Firebirds beginning their day with routine, purpose, and smiles.

🚀✨ Third grade was plugged in and ready to go at our STEM/Coding stations today! From solving real-world STEM challenges to exploring interactive coding games, these students were totally engaged and loving every minute of it! 💻🔍🧠
🛠️ Problem-solving
🎮 Interactive coding games
🤖 Collaboration and creativity on full display!

Our FHE 2nd graders are busy building number sense! Using base ten blocks, they explored how to decompose and compose numbers in the hundreds — and showed them in multiple ways! 💡 Through collaborative partnerships and inquiry-based lessons, these young mathematicians are developing a deep understanding of numbers. 👏

🐄📚 Mrs. Weymouth’s kindergarteners are learning all about cows—from fun facts to fascinating details!
They even got hands-on and practiced milking a cow with a special model. Talk about a moo-velous learning experience! 🐮💧 #FlintHillProud #KindergartenLearning #FarmFun

🦆❤️ As part of our Kids Heart Challenge incentive, Mrs. Bauer waddled into action in a full duck costume, and our Firebirds LOVED it!
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped support a great cause. Way to go, Mrs. Bauer, for making heart health fun and unforgettable!
