Let's Talk

Let’s Talk! is an open invitation from U-46 to submit feedback or a question directly to the U-46 district or school employee who can promptly respond. You'll also get a chance to offer feedback on the response.  Comments may be submitted in the form anonymously, but in those situations, the district will be unable to send a response. 

District Newsletter: Engage

The U-46 district newsletter, Engage, is sent to all U-46 families through email on the first Monday of the month (Aug-May).  The newsletter contains a variety of information on topics specifically regarding district initiatives, highlights, and events. Families will also receive school-level information through the newsletters sent to them from their children's building principals. Past editions of the Engage newsletter are available in the archives.

WEPS 88.9 Radio 

WEPS RADIO WEBPAGE

U-46 students hit the airwaves on the District's very own radio station, WEPS 88.9 FM, The Right Mix.

Radio club students produce programs for Illinois' oldest operating non-commercial educational radio station. Student broadcasts include a variety of topics, such as school news, sports, music, speech performances, and discussions. WEPS broadcasts U-46 content on weekdays, beginning at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. 

WEPS is an affiliate station of Wisconsin Public Radio, and airs WPR Music during all other hours and during summer recess.
