Progress South Elementary School

Fort Zumwalt School District will release 2.5 hours early today, April 27, 2026, due to the likelihood of severe weather. Early Childhood afternoon session is canceled. All after-school activities are canceled. Thank you.

Twice a year, students in Fort Zumwalt get a refresher on safety expectations and procedures on school buses. This week, students at PSE have watched presentations and practiced bus evacuations. #PSEsoars

Fifth Grade students had the opportunity to apply their knowledge from our CKLA (ELA) curriculum by engineering vessels for an egg drop. Today, they had the opportunity to test their designs. #PSEsoars

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! PSE is blessed with the best! #PSEsoars 🦅💙

Kindergarten had a great field trip to Towne Park today! #PSEsoars

Happy National Assistant Principals Week to Mrs. Roush & Mrs. Scearce! Thank you for the countless ways you support our students, staff, and families. PSE is better because of you both. 💙💛🦅 #PSEsoars

This afternoon during Early Release, our Kindergarten team and STUCO members welcomed incoming kindergarten students for the 26–27 school year. Families enjoyed a tour, games, a sign-in table, and popsicles. We are so excited to welcome these future Eagles! #PSEsoars 🦅

Do you have an incoming kindergartener starting at PSE this fall? If so, we’d love for you to join us this Wednesday from 1:30–3:30 PM! You’ll have the chance to meet our kindergarten teachers, tour the classrooms, and enjoy a popsicle.

We can’t wait to meet you! As a reminder, Wednesday is an Early Release Day, and dismissal will be at 12:50 PM.

Last night was one to remember! Our 5th graders took the stage for Joust—the first time this group has been able to perform a musical since the pandemic paused traditions during their early elementary years. Huge credit to Ms. Brueggeman for her direction and dedication. 🎭👏

PTO’s Basketball Shootout was this evening. Congrats to all the students and Mrs. Downes for winning the staff shootout! 🏀 #PSEsoars

Today we celebrated National SRO Appreciation Day a few days early since Mrs. Misuraca was in the building. We also had our students vote on the Olympics during lunch. #PSEsoars 🦅

2nd graders worked together to highlight the accomplishments of important people in the Civil War era. They turned out great!

During today’s Early Release, our teachers spent the afternoon engaged in meaningful PLC professional development. Teams reflected on the four PLC questions and discussed how those guide their collaboration time to better support student learning. #PSEsoars 💙🦅

Dear PSE Families,

We are excited to share that Progress South Elementary has joined the Kids Heart Challenge Lifesavers League. This is a fun and meaningful opportunity for our students to learn about heart health, practice lifesaving skills, and help raise funds for the American Heart Association.

❤️ How to Participate

Families can join our school’s online team by:

Visiting our school page

Downloading the Kids Heart Challenge app

Scanning the QR code on the flyer sent home last Friday

All donations should be made online, and our donation deadline is February 27.

In addition to helping others, funds raised can help our school earn free PE equipment for students, along with other fun incentives. It is a great way to build healthy hearts while supporting our school community.

Thank you for supporting our students as they learn, lead, and make a difference.

First Grade is learning about animal habitats and adaptations. Today, Mrs. Carr's class got a hands on learning experience with the "blubber glove" which simulates how the blubber adaptation helps arctic animals stay warm. #PSEsoars

Thank you to the families who came out for the 4th grade showcase! Kids enjoyed showing off their ELA work and teaching others how to play some math games. #PSEsoars
