District Update – Feb. 7
Report Cards are Now Available
Report cards are now available for all K-8 students through the
PowerSchool Parent Portal. Winter NWEA MAP reports are also available for grades 2-8 students through the
PowerSchool Parent Portal. All students in grades 2-8 take both the reading and mathematics MAP assessments three (3) times per year – fall, winter, and spring. Your child’s Winter score serves as a progress update for the current school year to measure growth. Please refer to an email sent to all families on Wednesday, February 5 for additional information regarding report cards and MAP assessments.

Wilmette Park District – Family Survey
Many D39 families enjoy and benefit from Wilmette Park District programming for before- and after-school care. To assist in program planning for the 2025-26 school year, the Park District requests your input through
this short survey for families. This survey will close next Friday (Feb. 14) and they ask that families complete one survey for each child in their family.

Parent Education Events
Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 11 am for our next Parent Education event titled “All Brains Are Wired for the Library: How School and Public Libraries Are Building Better Spaces for Neurodivergent Kids.” This presentation will show how our D39 school libraries and the Wilmette Public Library approach accessibility to design spaces and programs for all types of learners. Attendees will also gain valuable information on what to expect when you or your child visits the library, from the different types of programs offered to the use of supports, including sensory tools and visual schedules. Registration for this event is now open. Please
