Dear Zion Families,
Happy 2023! We hope you have enjoyed a blessed Christmas and New Year celebrating with your families.
We are excited to share that Mrs. Amy Jacobson, Zion’s SAC Director, will be serving as Acting Principal during Mrs. Lyles’ maternity leave. Mrs. Jacobson has served in this capacity before, and we are very blessed to have a very caring, positive, and enthusiastic person fill in for us while Mrs. Lyles spends time resting and preparing for her new little one. The Zion staff is ready to start off the new year with your children and look forward to another amazing semester.
We pray you will join us in welcoming Mrs. Jacobson as Acting Principal starting this week. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact the school office at (714) 535-3600 or email Mrs. Jacobson at ajacobson@zionanaheim.org. You may also email me at diana_fujimoto@hotmail.com.
In His Name,
Diana Fujimoto

NWEA TESTING
January 9 - 20, 2023
NWEA Testing provides many different reports to help schools and
teachers use MAP Growth information. Teachers can see the progress of
individual students and of their classes as a whole. This data is often
used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn
to achieve their goals. NWEA assessments are designed to target a
student's academic performance in mathematics, reading, and language usage.
Be sure your student gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast
before they arrive at school so they can do their best.
