Welcome To Zellwood Elementary School!
Hello to all of our Eagles and Parents! Thank you for visiting our website; hopefully, you will find it full of useful information and bookmark this site for easy reference.
I am proud to be the new principal of Zellwood Elementary and can’t wait to work with the students, parents, teachers, staff and community to lead our school to new heights! Zellwood is a special little “hidden gem,” sitting in a beautiful and peaceful location. It provides the perfect setting for our students to excel in a safe and tranquil environment.
If you are currently a parent of a Zellwood student, we ask for your continued support of our efforts with your child. Checking homework and student agendas, monitoring your child’s grades and reading with your child each day, will help him/her reach his/her full, academic potential. Our parents make the difference, both in and out of school.
If you are considering having your children attend Zellwood, we welcome you to tour our website and social media pages to become more familiar with our school. Additionally, you are also welcome to plan a visit to our school. The administration schedules school tours throughout the year for families moving into our attendance zone and considering enrollment. We think you will be very impressed with what our school has to offer your family!
We have an exciting year planned and are ecstatic to be welcomed into the learning community of Innovation Schools within Orange County. There will be new and creative things in store for our Eagles and we can’t wait to see the impact these strategies will have on student learning! Teachers are spending time this summer being trained in Orton-Gillingham, student engagement strategies, the new BEST standards, and other high-yield professional development. Students can look forward to returning to school face to face, participating in our new “House System”, enjoying room transformations that bring learning to life, and getting swept up in the energy and community spirit as we cultivate a sense of “Ohana”. Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind at Zellwood!
We can’t contain our excitement for what’s to come and we are so happy to have you on this journey along with us! On behalf of our dedicated and high-performing team, I want to say thank you to our students, parents and the community for your support of Zellwood, where we are shaping tomorrow’s leaders, today!
Ms. Caroll Grimando
