As you are aware, Fort Zumwalt School District canceled school Jan. 6 and called an AMI Day for Jan. 7. Due to inclement weather and hazardous road conditions Jan. 8, 2025, will be an AMI Day.
As a result, high school students have not had the opportunity to review for finals as scheduled. In order to address this unusual circumstance, final exams will only be used to positively impact semester grades and they will not be used to bring down any individual final semester grade. Students are still expected to attend class and take final exams, with some minor adjustments to the schedule.
Wednesday, Jan. 8 is an AMI Day that will be used to provide virtual review sessions.
Thursday, Jan. 9 and Friday, Jan. 10 will remain half-day finals schedules. (Check your school website for specifics).
Monday, Jan. 13 will be a full day of finals and will be the last day of the first semester. (Check your school website for specifics).
Tuesday, Jan. 14th will be the beginning of second semester classes
Questions should be directed to your student’s teacher(s) or to your high school office. Thank you for your patience as we work through this weather situation. Stay warm and safe.

Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, will be a traditional snow day in Fort Zumwalt School District. There will be no school Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, due to inclement weather and road conditions. Just a reminder, this means the day will have to be made up at the end of the school year.
