District 49 will create a robust portfolio of distinct and exceptional schools.  It’s not enough just to have a bunch of different kinds of schools; the district needs to have high quality, exceptional schools.  District 49 strives to offer wonderful schools in all of its zones, schools that are different from each other and superior to the options students might have in neighboring districts and communities.

D49 has four distinct zones, each with unique programs, that can provide a high quality educational experience for your student. Each Zone has unique guiding principles that are aligned from elementary through high school. Learn more about our zones by clicking on the logos below.

The Falcon Zone is about "Empowerment". Schools in the Falcon Zone provide engaging environments, enhanced opportunities, and elevated instruction. ​

The iConnect Zone is about the "Individual". In the iConnect Zone, there are many unique learning environments versus a more traditional school format. The iConnect Zone has online, hybrid, alternative, charter and early college programs. ​

The Power Zone is an acronym that stands for P - Purposeful Risk, O - Ownership of Learning, W - Whole Child/Whole Student, E - Engaging Inquiry, and R - Respectful Relationships. ​
