A great start to the school year for ZESD 6! High attendance on the first day shows our commitment to learning and sets the tone for success. The first 20 days of school are essential in setting good attendance habits. Research shows that having a routine and structure is crucial for student success. It helps students manage their time better, get organized, and develop healthy habits like regular sleep, which leads to success in the classroom.

Every day counts and regular attendance is the foundation for student achievement and success. Let’s continue building great habits for a bright year ahead!

Each year students in grades K-8 participate in Fall, Winter, and Spring Northwest Evaluation Association: Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA/MAP) assessments in English Language Arts and Math. The purpose of these assessment provides the opportunity for staff, administrators, and parent/guardians to examine and evaluate programs as well as student achievement and their well-being. These dynamic adaptive assessments provide valuable insights into students' academic abilities, allowing us to measure your student's achievement and growth in K-12 math, reading, and language usage to provide targeted instructional strategies and school improvement.

Each school has a varied testing schedule. For details, please contact your child's school office.

This past weekend, ZESD 6 was a participating member in Zion's Zinnia and Monarch Festival. Children and adults stopped by our tables to enjoy a variety of arts and crafts hosted by our district's Fine Arts staff. A selection of stickers and temporary tattoos were available also. In addition, winners from our Spring 2024 Art Festival were showcased in the Park District vestibule. It was an amazing weekend of coming together as a community.
