Message from Principal Haugens
Dear DuJardin Families,
I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to all the wonderful students and families of DuJardin Elementary School. We are home to the World's Greatest Students because of the support and encouragement from our parent community. I am so grateful to serve in a school and community that values education & community. Please enjoy your time with family and friends this holiday season.
During the next few weeks, DuJardin will have two opportunities for students to show it is more important to give than receive by donating to our Howl-I-Day Giving Tree or Strong Like Kate Toy & Activity Fundraiser. Please review the flyers below for more information.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, comments, or feedback. The best way to reach me would be via email or phone: phaugens@sd13.org or 630-894-9200.
Patrick Haugens
Principal at DuJardin
