This fee will cover student supplies, ID, and lanyard. School Supplies will not be shared.
An optional ZES spirit shirt will be sold for $10. This shirt can be worn on any hybrid school day.
Information about online payments and virtual orientation is forthcoming.
In addition, you can
always build a starter kit of first grade school supplies and add to it as needed before the school year begins.
The first grade teachers at Zachary Elementary School will typically update their school supplies list on a yearly basis, we
try to update this list accordingly however we advise you to check with your child's first grade teacher and double check with the school, Zachary Elementary School, to see if there have been any changes to this year's first grade supply list.
A couple of things to keep in mind when ordering your first grade supplies, consumable school supplies tend to run out long before the school year ends so take advantage of the back to school
offers and stock up on the basic supplies, your child's first grade teacher at Zachary Elementary School will thank you for that, and more importantly, your child's presence is the most important thing, the supplies are second to that and your teacher will
be more than understanding if you are unable to purchase all of the supplies on the list. Have a wonderful, safe and happy school year!
Be sure to order plenty of hand sanitizer and due to recent events, it is more important than ever to stay in touch with Zachary Community School District to find news and any schedule changes that may take place.
One of the most important pieces of information for you every school year is the Zachary Community School District District Academic Calendar. There, you will find your child's schedule for the entire school year including holidays, staff development days, half days, testing days, first and last day of school, etc. See the calendar for Zachary Community School District below.

Zachary Community School District Coronavirus Information
The Zachary Community School Board met on Thursday, July 9, 2020, and voted to open the 2020-2021 school year using a Hybrid learning model during our transition back to school period. This transition period will occur Monday, August 10, 2020, through Friday, September 4, 2020. This transition period provides the most flexibility but does not carry the risk of putting all students back into our buildings too quickly.
The Zachary Community School District will be among some of the first school districts in the United States to bring students back into the buildings during this pandemic. The utilization of the Hybrid learning model, during this transition time, will allow our district to evaluate and determine possible effects on the safety of our students and employees based on the current school sizes and configurations. Without this transition, we could find ourselves having to offer only the 100% virtual learning model. This gives us a better chance of working through the unknown effects of this pandemic on our instructional environments. We understand the need to balance safety, academics, and the needs of our families. We believe this transition is needed to make informed decisions as we continue through this unchartered journey. Our district wants to keep our community informed of any changes that will affect a safe, conducive learning
environment.
During the board meeting, we also discussed the following surrounding our transition plan:
• Class sizes will be reduced to promote greater social distancing:
o We are allowing our educators the opportunity to organize face-to-face
instruction and make appropriate adjustments, around smaller groups of
students.
o We are allowing our schools the opportunity to successfully implement the
two essential requirements of adhering to social distancing protocols in
classrooms and on buses.
• Schools will utilize the Hybrid learning model during this transition period to be prepared for potential building closures:
o We are allowing our educators time to work more closely with students and
families in the early days of this school year, to ensure each student has what
he/she needs to be successful under the multiple models that may be
implemented.
o Should the health situation decline, restrictions may be tightened. We are
providing our educators, students, and families an opportunity to become
familiar with the adjustments needed to be successful at both Hybrid and
Virtual Learning.
• The Zachary Community School District's Grade Cluster:
o With nearly half of our students attending a "new" school each year, this also
allows our staff and students the opportunity to get accustomed to "new"
school procedures, especially with the additional monitoring required due to
the pandemic.
