School Counselors Celebrate During National School Counseling Week, Feb. 3-7
National School Counseling Week 2025, “School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 3–7, 2025, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
We commend our school counselors for their active involvement in assisting students as they explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents. They work collaboratively with parents to navigate the challenges of raising children in today's society, while also prioritizing positive strategies to enhance students' academic, career, and social/emotional growth. Additionally, they partner with teachers and other educators to create an educational environment where students can unlock their potential and establish healthy, realistic, and optimistic aspirations. School counselors are certified and experienced professionals whose distinctive combination of training and expertise renders them an essential element of our comprehensive educational program.
As the Superintendent of Schools, I urge all staff, community members, students, and parents to take a moment this week to express their gratitude to our counselors for their dedication and for playing such a crucial role in each student's success.

Child Nutrition Program receives "Cream of the Crop Recognition"
We are excited to announce that our ZCISD Child Nutrition Program (CNP) has received the prestigious "Cream of the Crop" recognition from the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) for our participation in the Farm Fresh Challenge this past October!
This honor highlights our commitment to providing fresh, locally-sourced foods to our students and promoting nutrition education within our schools. Throughout the Farm Fresh Challenge, we proudly incorporated Texas-grown produce into our meals, hosted engaging activities for our students to learn about the importance of agriculture, and partnered with local farmers to bring the best of Texas to our cafeteria tables.
A huge thank you goes to our dedicated CNP team, local farmers, school staff, and students who made this achievement possible. Your support and enthusiasm have helped us reach this incredible milestone!
The ZCISD CNP department will continue to ensure our students have access to fresh, nutritious meals while fostering a deeper connection to the food they eat and where it comes from.
