Attention 8th Grade Families!

  • Pre-Departure Meeting required for parents and students - Monday, October 7th, from 6-7pm in West Hall.
  • Please put this date on your calendar. We will have our pre-departure meeting to review our travel itinerary, explain expectations, and to meet the chaperone groups face to face. This will also be a good time to coordinate drop off and pick up arrangements for Indianapolis International Airport with other parents.
  • The DC trip is scheduled from Wednesday, October 23-Friday, October 25, 2024. More details to come!

Immunizations

  • Indiana code (IC 20-34-4-5) states that all children attending public schools in our state shall be immunized according to requirements set forth by the Indiana Department of Health.
  • Please ensure that the health clinic professional in your child’s school has been supplied with the most up-to-date copy of your child’s immunization records!
  • A link to the required immunizations for the 2024-2025 school year can be found HERE.

8th Grade Class T-Shirts!

  • The 8th grade class has voted on their 2024-2025 8th Grade T-shirt design!
  • This order is for 24-25 ZWMS 8th Graders (and staff) ONLY! Let’s celebrate this group’s final year of Middle School!
  • T-shirts will be $15. If you can, please consider donating and/or sponsoring a t-shirt for an anonymous student. Our hope is that each of our current 8th grade students will be able to receive a t-shirt. Any overflow funding that is not utilized for purchasing t-shirts will go towards our ZWMS Food Pantry.
  • An added bonus - the t-shirts are anticipated to arrive prior to the 8th Grade Washington DC Trip! Students will be able to represent ZWMS while on that trip, as well as throughout the school year!
  • 8th grade families can find additional information in the email from Mrs. Freund (afreund@zcs.k12.in.us)! Orders are due by 4:00PM on 09/13!
