Food Distribution -
Student breakfast and lunches for children ages 0-18 years old are available for pickup on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-10:30a at Kahle Community Center parking lot.
Virtual Learning -
Students should be logging onto their Chromebooks to access lessons from their teachers via Google Classroom and participate in virtual class time using Google Meets. If you are having some technology issues, access issues, or any other issues please reach out to your student’s teacher to communicate those issues. There are many ways in which our teachers are able to modify things to meet the current situation so that your student can participate. This will help ensure that students will not experience much regression during this time away from the classroom.
Counselor’s Message
The counselor is available by appointment. These appointments are held via video conference or telephone through Google Hangouts Meet. When you schedule an appointment, please make sure you check what kind of meeting you would prefer; video conference or telephone conference. For video conference meetings, I will send you a link to the meeting after you book your appointment. For telephone conferences, I will be using Google Hangouts Meet as well, which uses an out of state telephone number (sometimes from New York). Please accept my calls. I am also using this application when I reach out to families. This is all new for me, so please be patient. Thank you. Ms. Gerlinger Digital Office Hours: 8:00 -11:00 AM and 1:00 - 3:30 PM (M-Th)

Garden DOMES Are a Work in Progress.
Exciting News!! The garden domes are built at ZCES.
We've had an amazing group of engineers, excavators, contractors, and volunteers work over the Fall Break and get the garden domes constructed. We are working on getting the interiors squared away so we can get things growing in the Spring!
Thank you to all that had a "hand" in getting this accomplished. A HUGE thank you to Amy Cranch for her hard work and efforts to get this idea to a reality!
And, we are off...
The 2019-2020 school year is looking great!
We want to thank all the families who have introduced themselves to us at the beginning of the school year. We are humbled by the hospitality shown.
We are excited to announce that our enrollment has grown overall and have welcomed 21 new kindergarteners to understand what it means to be a Zephyr Cove Cub!
We also want to pass along the message that anyone is welcome to come in and volunteer. You will need to complete and submit a volunteer application found in the Parent Resources section of this site before you can assist in the school. Don't worry, we will work with you in getting that done.
We look forward to working with the incredible students and families of ZCES to make this the best year ever!
