ALL students, including those already attending D39 schools, must register via PowerSchool for the 2024-25 academic year.
For returning students,

We encourage parents with new kindergarten students to enroll as soon as possible. D39 is also offering its optional

Lechner Early Education Program (LEEP) for three- and four-year-old students at this time.

"Socially Acceptable" – A New District 39 Short Video Project
Calling all WJHS students! District 39 is starting a video project by students, for students, called “Socially Acceptable.” This series of short videos will help teach students how to navigate situations on social media. Participants will write scripts and act them out on camera. These instructional videos will then be shared with our D39 learning community. Local theater teachers will assist with both the script-writing and acting, and no experience is necessary! We ask that those interested in participating
please view this flyer for more information, including how to sign-up. We are excited to launch this new D39 project in the spring!
