We are celebrating Paraprofessional Recognition Week here at ZM MS/HS. Thank you to our great group of paraprofessionals who do wonderful things for our students!


This week is Paraprofessional Recognition Week for the State of Minnesota. Our paraprofessionals at ZM are ELITE, and I am grateful for the work they do with our students. Our paraprofessionals are an essential part of the ZM school community, and we are incredibly fortunate to have a team of paraprofessionals that prioritizes creating positive relationships with our students.

Great Job Ms. Ringstad's advisory raising money for our Toys for Tots drive through the Goodhue County Salvation Army


Great news! We are excited to announce that ZM Schools is launching a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built to your school for smartphones. On the app, your students, parents, and community can read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. The ZM Schools app is available to download free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store.
