Principal Post
Welcome to the "new normal," which is now being called, "Remote Learning" from home. Thanks to the staff for organizing Google Classrooms, the students for participating and engaging in the daily lessons, and to the parents for accepting this new way of learning and supporting your child(ren) during this unprecedented situation.
We are very fortunate in District 13 to have the technology and 1:1 devices that allow us to keep some semblance of education moving forward. Please click here for a FAQ document for parents regarding the district's Remote Learning Plan.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay at home. Here's hoping to see you back at DuJardin sooner rather than later.
District 13 Website
This Friday, the District will post on our website, the most up-to-date information regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) as student safety continues to be our top priority. The District website will be updated as new information becomes available. Thank you.
It is not safe to walk between cars and in front of oncoming traffic
