¡Queridos Padres!

We had a fabulous first school week! Your child was ready to be challenged in school to learn new things! We started safety lessons with Officer Breuker. He will be visiting us for the next two weeks on Tuesdays. Looking forward to another full week of challenges to grow academically and spiritually! 🙂

In Christ;
Maestra Ruiz

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions; please do not hesitate to contact me.

Do you know someone who is interested in immersion education? Please consider sharing your children’s experience with them. Spread the word that ZCS will be hosting a showcase open house event on January 17 at 7:00pm. If you know of someone who would like to see the program in action, you are welcome to put them in touch with Jodi Pierce (jpierce@zcs.org) so that we can arrange a time for a tour. Thanks for advocating for ZCS!
Book it!
