No School Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023.
Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 will be a traditional SNOW DAY in Fort Zumwalt School District. All students, teachers and staff (other than 12-month employees) will be off Wednesday, Jan. 25, due to inclement weather. Just a reminder, this means the day will have to be made up at the end of the school year. Again, Jan. 25 will be a traditional snow day in Fort Zumwalt School District.
Keeping an eye on the forecast? We are, too. Check out go.FZSD.us/AMIDays for inclement weather plans. Then, download the FZ app, free for Apple/Android. Go to settings, subscribe to your schools and turn on notifications so you get important info when you need it. Tell a friend!
