Fort Zumwalt Mike ClemensCenter for Adaptive Learning

Committee Spotlight

The Committee Spotlight for December is the Social Skills Committee.  This Committee looks for activities that can be incorporated in everyday learning as well as special occasions that assist with students building their social skills.  Social Skills are as important to implement as academics and we bestow these skills by completing activities.

This year we utilized Red Ribbon Week as a Social Building Week with dress up days and social building activities like classroom community flags and crafts that were displayed in the building.  MCC students even had the pleasure of Officer Julie Long coming and talking to them about positive behaviors and social interactions.

Winter Weather

Wondering about inclement weather and potential

school cancellations? Click here for information.

Please make sure your telephone information is current so we can reach you on the correct numbers.

The snow day from 11/15/18 will be made up on

Friday, May 24, 2019. A complete district calendar can

be found here.

Coats, hats, and gloves are important. We try to get

students outside for fresh air at recess on days when the

weather allows.  Since the safety of your child is our top priority, there are many factors included in the decision on when it is safe to have outdoor recess besides just the temperature.  Per board policy, wind chill and time of exposure also play a role.  Assessing the playground and recess equipment for snow, ice, or any potential harm is also a part of the procedure.
