EDUKITS - TIME TO BUY FOR NEXT YEAR

It’s time to order your school supplies for next year! Online ordering of school supply kits from EduKit is NOW OPEN. Don't miss out! Order your 2025/2026 school supplies now by clicking WJHS SCHOOL SUPPLY KIT SALE.

All D39 schools (K-8) use EduKits for school supply kits, and all D39 school kits can be purchased in a single transaction by searching your other D39 school before checking out! EduKits are delivered over the summer and placed in your child’s classroom so they are ready to go on the first day of school.

PLEASE NOTE school supply kits are separate from the instructional materials fee paid during registration. Due to shipment delay concerns, there will NOT be a Last Chance sale during the summer. JUNE 30th will be the last day to order school supply kits.
