Unfortunately, as you already know, last Friday Governor Pritzker canceled all in-person learning for the remainder of this school year. We will continue to utilize Remote Learning until the last day of school. The School Board is meeting on Monday to determine the remainder of the school calendar. Once the last day is determined this information will be sent to parents and included in future Jaguar Journals.
Mr. Allman is planning a virtual Field Day which will be scheduled for Friday, May 29th. Stay tuned for details regarding this NEW and exciting event.
The DuJardin staff is so grateful for the amazing parent support that has been observed during Remote Learning the last two weeks. As a school we have registered over a 97% participation rate from our students regarding work completion and student engagement. That is an incredible statistic considering these extremely unique circumstances. A HUGE "Pat on the back," is extended to our DuJardin families for rallying together and making the most of an unfortunate situation. The entire DuJardin School Community is a first-hand example and has exhibited the motto, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" THANK YOU for being AWESOME!
