Coffee Talk with ZWMS Principal Matt Doublestein
Date: Monday, March 4, 2019
Time: 8:00 - 9:00 AM
Location: Eagle Elementary, Design Lab
Calling all 4th-grade parents of incoming 5th graders! Please join us in the Eagle Elementary Design Lab on Monday, March 4, 2019 for a casual "coffee talk" with the principal of Zionsville West Middle School, Mr. Matt Doublestein. There will be more comprehensive and structured opportunities to hear similar information at ZWMS later in March, but this is a chance to meet Mr. Doublestein in a more casual and intimate setting to begin learning what middle school will be like for your child. This optional meeting will begin at 8:00 am with a brief introduction. The remainder of the agenda will then be guided by your questions and will last for approximately one hour. Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided. Regretfully we cannot provide childcare, however, please do feel to bring your little ones with you. Thank you!
Growth in ZCS with Dr. Scott Robison
Dear Eagle Elementary Parents—
The important topic of redistricting is always part of enrollment growth discussions. Please join us at Eagle Elementary on March 27 to discuss our facilities needs as a result of continuing enrollment growth. We will meet from 6:30-8:00 PM in the cafeteria.
Please register to attend at:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Eagle2019(Free child care will be provided, but you must register for that, too!) I need parents to be aware of the facilities needs, redistricting implications, and funding information related to our enrollment growth in ZCS.
Thank you for your consideration of this important community forum in the life of ZCS.
Sincerely,
Scott Robison, Superintendent
Zionsville Community Schools

2019 Imagine Grants
The Zionsville Education Foundation (ZEF) is excited to announce the 2019 Imagine Professional Development Grants totaling $15,923. ZEF Imagine Grants provide growth and renewal opportunities for Zionsville Community Schools (ZCS) educators. Many thanks to our donors and supporters that make these awards possible!
Grantees will return to ZCS with information on a wide variety of academic areas: digital and media literacy within reading and writing workshop classrooms, school counseling, student-centered educational approaches, literacy instruction, jazz education, and building-wide learning plans. Grant recipients are expected to share the knowledge gained from these outstanding national and international training's with their colleagues. Thus, the impact of Imagine Grants will spread across grade levels, schools, and the entire district.

Buddy Up Fun Night
It’s time for the 12th annual ZCHS Best Buddies Buddy Up Fun Night. The Best Buddies Club encourages friendship between general and special education students. In the past, individuals with intellectual disabilities have not had the opportunity to have friends outside their own classroom. ZCHS recognizes the importance of INCLUSION. Open to all 1st-4th grade elementary students without intellectual disabilities and 5th-8th grade students with an intellectual disability. This fee covers pizza, beverages, snacks, lifeguards, pool rental, and t-shirt (if registered by 3/5). All proceeds from Buddy Up Fun Night go to the ZCHS Best Buddies Club.
