This week in Mrs. Spratt's 7th grade science classes, students have been learning about energy transfers. They enjoyed doing experiments and seeing science in action!
September is Childhood Cancer month. This affects families in the BCPS area, and we are sponsoring multiple events for this cause. See the image for full details!
Last week, students enjoyed their first visits to the ZMS Library! They "tasted" different books the library has to offer, learned about upcoming reading challenges, checked out books and explored the Makerspace corner that has many STEM activities. 📚 💚
Students have been enjoying lunch time together these first days of school!
We had a great first day back at ZMS!! Looking forward to another great day tomorrow on the hill. 💚🖤🤍🐺
Thank you to those who attended our Open House last Thursday! It was a great turnout, with over 300 families. It was so nice to see smiling faces before school starts on Wednesday. If you missed it, here's a few things you should know:
🟢 $35 Chromebook fee can be paid online through MySchoolBucks OR students can bring cash/check to pay their seminar (homeroom) teacher. Students who pay before Wednesday will receive theirs during the first day.
🟢 Schedules- please make sure your student has been registered online. Once that happens, we can populate the schedule. All students will be gathered in the gym first thing. Teachers will have copies of their schedule as well as lead their homeroom students to their classrooms!
🟢 Dress Code/Supply list are online via our website
🟢 Doors open for students at 7:40 on Wednesday! Please refer to the previous post about the car rider traffic flow and bus finder info.
ZMS students and families, tonight is the night!!! Come meet your student's teachers, our new admin, pick up schedules, and pay for Chromebooks! (Note: we cannot offer cash change back for the $35 fee, bring exact cash, check or pay online at MySchoolBucks)
See you in a few hours!

Hello ZMS Community,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and getting the well-deserved time to relax and spend time with family. As difficult as it is to send this email, I wanted to let you all know that I have accepted a position in another district. My family and I have been putting a lot of thought into moving and one of my main goals was to get a position where I serve the community that I reside in.
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to serve the Zoneton community and I will greatly miss our day-to-day interactions. It has truly been an honor to work and grow with each of you and I wish you all nothing but the best.
I am sorry for the timing of this decision and I wish that I would have found out sooner. Mrs. Chadwell and I completed our principal certification program together a few years ago and I can say, without a doubt, that you all are being left in very good hands. She will bring a wealth of knowledge and support with her to ZMS.
Bullitt County Public Schools has been great to me and I know that there is always a chance that our paths may meet again. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer! #Zonetonstrong
With respect,
Mr. Boston
