🎇WELCOME TO WRJH🎇 My name is Cynthia Steckline. I graduated from Western Governors University. This is my first year teaching, and I will be co-teaching with several sixth-grade math teachers. I have worked as a paraprofessional at the High School for the past 16 years. My two children, Bailey and Trent, are Zebra alumni. I chose WRJH because I want to make a difference in the lives of young students while helping them build a strong foundation in math. My goal is for my students to find success and fall in love with learning. We are so happy you are here! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Parents and students- WRJH no longer allows food delivery services to drop off food at our school for students. Door Dash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, and any other food delivery service will be turned away if they attempt to make a delivery. However, parents are still able to bring lunch to their student. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
