Answer District 49 has divided schools into four separate innovation zones: Falcon Zone, POWER Zone, Sand Creek Zone and iConnect Zone. Each zone provides a cohesive, educationally aligned K-12 learning environment for students. The zones have the autonomy to make decisions based on the needs of students within the zone community. Each innovation zone (d49.org -> Our Schools) offers individualized programming and learning opportunities for students. This model allows education to be dynamic, meeting the needs of our 21st century learners. Question Why a year-round school calendar? Answer District 49 considers educational benefits and community input when developing the school year calendar. Calendars are developed by committees made up of teachers and administrators, along with parent survey feedback. Our community has long advocated for the extended school year with two-week breaks throughout the year. Our innovation leaders are currently researching options outside the traditional school year calendar to best meet the needs of students. Question Do your schools offer pre-K, after school, or summer programs? Answer Yes, District 49 offers all of those programs. Contact the Early Childhood Center (d49.org -> Our Schools) for information on preschool. Pre-K is offered at every District 49 elementary school. The district partners with Champions to offer before and after school programming for students. Contact individual elementary schools for program information. Summer school programs are offered beginning in June. Check for updated information in the spring (d49.org -> Our Schools).
