The Board of Education gathered this past Monday for its monthly business meeting. In addition to hearing committee reports, the Board was presented with a
draft of the 2025-26 academic year calendar, which will be officially approved by the Board on January 27th, and approved the supplemental debt service tax levy for 2024. Agendas and materials for all Board of Education meetings are

Save the Date – Registration for 2025-26 Academic Year
With the end of the calendar year rapidly approaching, we wanted to share that registration for the 2025-26 school year will open on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. District 39 is excited that it will be offering full-day kindergarten for all families beginning in Fall 2025! A draft of the 2025-26 academic year calendar is available here and will be officially approved at the Board’s January 27th Board of Education Meeting.
