Weekly K12 Zone Guide

Starting October 1st, both the National K12 Zones and School Zones will transform into a Fall Festival wonderland! Your student will discover new games, seasonal activities, and a whole new look to explore.

🎃 What’s inside the Fall Festival Zone?

• A colorful, autumn-themed world map (stadium, maze, carnival, soccer field, and more!)

• Brand-new activities and games to keep students engaged all month

• A festive atmosphere leading up to Homecoming Spirit Week (Oct. 20–24)

👩‍👩‍👦 How Learning Coaches Can Help:

• Encourage your student to log in and explore the new Zone this week.

• Remind them to check back often for new games and surprise events.

• Celebrate their experiences — ask them to share what they discovered or enjoyed most!

📅 Spirit Week starts October 20th with theme days, prizes, and a live Homecoming broadcast — you won’t want your student to miss it!

👉 Log in together and check out the Fall Festival Zone today!

Learning Coaches, you know your student best — what excites them, what motivates them, and what kinds of activities spark their curiosity. That’s why we need your help!

We’re looking to expand the National K12 Zones with a much broader scope of activities, events, and student clubs. But the best ideas will come from you — the people who see what your students truly enjoy every day.

💡 Maybe your student would love a new type of game or activity.
💡 Maybe they’d be excited about a special event or celebration.
💡 Maybe they’d join a club that we haven’t even thought of yet!

👉 Please take a few minutes to share your suggestions using the form below. Your feedback will directly shape what we build next in the K12 Zones.

Together, we can make the K12 Zones even more engaging, exciting, and fun for every student!

Looking for a fun way to keep your student engaged in the Zone? Check out Sushi Smash!

🍣 The goal is simple:

• Smash the sushi to score points

• Dodge the junk food to stay in the game

• Compete for the highest score against friends!

It’s quick, exciting, and a great way for students to take a short brain break while still practicing focus and coordination.

🎥 Watch the short video below to see how it works!

Being a Learning Coach is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. You don’t have to do it alone!

The Learning Coach Community is a place to:

• Connect with other parents and caregivers

• Swap tips and strategies

• Find encouragement and support this fall
