How do I do online registration?
From www.wjsd.org, click on the PowerSchool Tab. Login. Once you are in your parent/guardian account, click on “Forms” and then “Enrollment Forms.” Complete each form for each student and be sure to submit them. You know you’re finished when each of the forms has an July/August 2024 date on them.

Why do I have to redo the same forms every year?
Things can change from year to year. We need to make sure we have updated information from you, especially contact information. Also, sometimes our policies and procedures change, so be sure to read through them before submitting the agreement forms.
How can I pay school fees?
There are a couple ways to pay your student’s fees. 1. Cash or check at In-Person Registration or at the school office. 2. Credit card or debit card on PowerSchool. Those paying with a card online will be charged approximately a 4% convenience fee by the company we use to process the cards. DO NOT USE VENMO!
Can I pay my lunch fees online?
Yes! This year we are able to accept payments for lunch fees on PowerSchool, the same as other fees. If you use cash or check, pay directly to the Lunchroom. If you use a card, use PowerSchool. Those paying with a card online will be charged approximately a 4% convenience fee by the company we use to process the cards. DO NOT USE VENMO!

Early release on the last day of school!!

The 2024-25 WJSD Calendar has been approved by our Board of Trustees.

If you are a parent of a student receiving special education services, the Idaho Department of Education wants your feedback. The Parent Involvement Survey is your chance to give input about how well your student's school has involved you in their education.
If you receive a Parent Involvement Survey from the Department through email or mail, please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
Keep an eye out; surveys will be sent out during the first week of June from the
address noreply@experience.idaho.gov.
Tell us about your experience. Your input can help improve parent involvement in Idaho.
