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. Download for Android https://aptg.co/4Hl2bP Download for iPhone https://aptg.co/Q1048L

We are experiencing internet connectivity issues at the school. Livestream of tonight's Boys Basketball games may be impacted. We will work to restore the livestream ASAP.
