Principal's Message
Welcome back, Bulldogs!
I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break, taking time to recharge and spending time with those you love.
We have one more week before the semester is over so now is the time to ensure your student's grades are where they should be and talk with them about any celebrations and/or concerns.
As I have transitioned back to being a ZHS Bulldog, a huge safety concern has come to my attention. Parents and students may NOT use the front bus loop from 6:35am - 7:15am and again from 1:15pm - 1:50pm. The bus loop is for buses and staff parking only during these times. Buses have not been able to safely drop students off in the morning due to vehicle traffic, staff members are waiting in backed up lines to park, and this puts our students and staff at risk. The gym parking lot is open in the morning until 7:15am so please drop your student off there. We are diligently working on a better solution, but we need your help in the meantime.
Starting now, you will hear a lot about "Bulldogs Bark" as we are moving toward branding our school and bringing us all together as a school family. Bulldogs are:
B - Brave (brave enough to always do what is right, not necessarily easy)
A - Academically Engaged (focused on learning and making progress)
R - Responsible (taking accountability and making good choices)
K - Kind (just be nice!)
We will be utilizing positive behavior incentives aligned with these attributes. Students will earn points that they can spend in the school store.
Your Proud Principal,
Amanda McCoy, Ed.S.
