Hello Families,

Communication is key to staying connected. At the end of each week, you can expect an email with a link to our school newsletter. Inside, you’ll find important school updates, district news, and community events.

Thank you for taking the time each week to read it and for reaching out with any questions. We look forward to keeping you informed and connected throughout the year!

We had a wonderful first week of school! Students are already making new connections, settling into routines, and learning procedures that will set them up for success this year. A quick reminder: any changes to your child’s transportation must be called into the office before 3:00 p.m. Please do not rely on email for these changes, as teachers may not have a chance to check their messages before dismissal. We’re so excited to have everyone back and are looking forward to a fantastic school year. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Have a great weekend!

Brooke Johnston
Principal

Hello Zinser Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at Open House this past week! Our staff and students are excited and ready to kick off a fantastic school year next week.

Starting next week, we will begin sending out our weekly school newsletter to keep you informed about important updates and events. Classroom teachers will also be reaching out by email to ensure we all stay connected.

If you haven’t already, be sure to follow Kenowa Hills Zinser Elementary on Facebook—it’s another great way to stay in the loop!

As we look forward to the first day of school, here are a couple of reminders to help keep everyone safe and organized:

Goodbyes happen outside: Parents should say goodbye at the door. We have plenty of staff on hand to help students find their classrooms.

Carpool line: If you are dropping off or picking up your child, please pull all the way forward in the carpool lane to help keep traffic moving and prevent backups on Leonard. For everyone’s safety, please also avoid making left-hand turns in and out of the parking lot. We’ve attached a map with directions around the neighborhood below to help make drop-off and pick-up as safe and smooth as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we start this exciting new school year together!

Proud to partner with you,
Brooke Johnston
Principal
