ZB Parent Bulletin
A message from the Principal...
Hello ZB Families,
We were excited to kick off our new school year with all of our students. We have had an amazing reception to our new Science Wing and our students have adjusted to our new spaces seamlessly. This past week we conducted grade level assemblies reminding students of expectations around tardies/late to school, student conduct, and becoming familiar with counselors and deans. We plan to continue the message throughout the school year by visiting advisories and celebrating our students in different ways.
As many of you may have noticed, our parent drop-off process is very different from last year. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we go through this transition. We felt the need to address this process as we have experienced several incidents and traffic jams on 21st street the past couple of years. We ask that as we go through this transition, parent drivers should operate their vehicles with caution whenever they are on school premises. Parking permits for the student lot are limited, due to the current construction and the number of requests. Seniors do take precedence in receiving parking permits. Seniors and Juniors who are eligible based on attendance, GPA, and student conduct from the previous semester, may receive a permit as space permits.
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Parent-Teacher conferences on September 21st. The first session will be from 1:30 - 3:30 PM followed by a second session from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. Please come and engage with our teachers to learn about student progress and different ways to support from home. Please view our student bulletin for additional information regarding upcoming events.
And as always... You Matter! You are Important! We are Proud! We Bee-lieve!
With Zee-Bee Pride,
Mr. Zackary Livingston

Safeguarding Personal Information Beyond the Screen: A Parent's Guide
During conversations about digital responsibility, we remind students to protect their personal information. You may have seen warnings about the first day of school pictures parents post on social media, which share children's personal information like their name, school name, grade level, likes/dislikes, teacher’s names, and sometimes more.
But, personal information can be leaked in a non-digital way, too. Take a look at this graphic that explains how a wrongdoer might use your bumper stickers to learn your personal information and habits.
Let's break it down:
Your Child's Activities: A bumper sticker displaying the logo of your child's soccer team might not seem like a privacy concern at first glance. But think about it—by knowing their team's name and possibly even the league, a potential wrongdoer gains insight into your child's weekly schedule and where they'll be at specific times.
Family Size: An "I Love My Grandkids" bumper sticker could signal to a stranger that you're a grandparent, potentially revealing a reduced level of supervision at home. Similarly, a "Proud Parent of an Honor Student" sticker might indicate that your child is smart and likely a part of a well-structured routine.
Travel Patterns: Bumper stickers from vacation destinations or local landmarks can indicate your favorite travel spots or hangouts. This information can be exploited by someone with malicious intent to anticipate your movements.
Political and Religious Beliefs: Expressing your political or religious affiliations through bumper stickers provides insights into your values and potentially even your online presence, which could be used for targeted scams or attempts to manipulate your opinions.
Protecting Your Family's Privacy: What Can You Do?
Limit Information: Be mindful of the details you're sharing through bumper stickers, clothing, and other visible indicators. While self-expression is important, consider the potential risks before displaying personal information.
Stay Informed: Regularly educate your children about the importance of privacy, both online and offline. Encourage them to think twice before sharing any information that could put them or your family at risk.
Review Social Media Posts: Before sharing anything related to your child's life, think about what kind of information might be inferred from the post. Opt for generic captions instead of including specific details like school names or locations.
Consider Alternative Expressions: If you love expressing yourself through bumper stickers, opt for more generic designs that don't reveal personal information. Think about hobbies or interests that don't provide insights into your family's routine or whereabouts.
