Where: Parent Center

Time: 9:00 and 1:00

If you have any questions please call Corinne Martinez at 260-2020, Ext 22770

Just a gentle reminder that science fair registration forms are due this Wed. Feb. 28.  Please return the form to the classroom teacher, and the teacher will put it in the PTA box in the lounge. 

The project does NOT need to be completed until March 22, but if your student is interested in doing an individual or group project, please let us know so we can start planning accordingly. 

There are three choices for projects:  experiment, demonstration or BUILD!  

Even if your child is not certain what to do, please turn in a form indicating their general preferences and we can take it from there.  

PLEASE also put the evening of Thurs. March 22 on your calendar to come to ZIA Elementary to see all of the projects in a "Science Share" night and community event.  ALL are invited to learn from each others' projects and a potluck dinner will be planned.  WE look forward to seeing you and coming together in a special evening to celebrate our children, creativity, and learning new ideas.
 

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on March 8th and 9th

There will be no school those days.

Your child's teacher will set up a time for your meeting.

You will also be able to pre-register for next year through the online system in our computer lab during those two days.

Join us for Bilingual Night in the ZIA gym, where our students in the Dual Language program will perform and present for our families.

Our Dual Language team will hold a PUBLIC LOTTERY for available spaces for English speaking/English Dominant students.

Spanish speakers and fully bilingual children are already enrolled.

It will be held in the Kindergarten Dual Language program at 3 pm on 8/10 in the Zia Cafeteria

All are welcome, but you DO NOT NEED to be present, as ALL REQUESTS ARE ENTERED into the lottery. Your completed Dual Language request form serves as your entry, and this was done with the student's registration.

Our DL teachers will run the lottery, then, the Kindergarten teachers will call parents on Friday, August 11 to inform parents of placement.
We apologize for the short notice, we only completed registration on Wednesday. Again, you do not need to be present to be entered.

Please join us on the morning of August 14th at 8:45 for a meet-and-greet with the teachers and other parents in the classrooms as we start our school year together.

We will be registering new students and adding children to classes between August 9th and 11th.  Teachers will be involved with planning, Professional Development, and classroom preparations for the coming year throughout the week of August 7-11. Due to these constraints, will not be able to announce the official class assignments until Monday, August 14th, and we will not be able to have a designated "meet-the-teacher" day prior to the start of school.  We are glad to open our classrooms to parents on the morning of the first day of school so you can celebrate the start of the year with us.

We will hold registration for those who are new to Zia on August 9th from 8:30-4:15 in our school cafeteria

Realizaremos la inscripción para aquellos que son nuevos en Zia 
el 9 de agosto de 8:30-4:15 en la cafetería de la escuela
