The answer

Frequent wet dreams do not negate the obligation of performing ghusl (ritual bath) from major ritual impurity (janabah), nor do they permit delaying prayer beyond its prescribed time. Therefore, it is obligatory to perform ghusl before going to school and offering the Fajr prayer. Ghusl does not take a long time; it suffices to make the water reach all parts of the body and to run it through the hair with the intention of removing janabah. If you wake up in a state of janabah and there is not enough time for ghusl and prayer, you must perform ghusl even if the prayer time has elapsed. It is not permissible to pray Dhuhr while in a state of janabah. If you are unable to perform ghusl at school, wait until you return home and perform ghusl before the Dhuhr prayer time expires.
