There will be some wonderful baskets available for those who purchase raffle tickets and numerous FREE baskets available with our school supply give away raffle. Thanks to the PTO for sponsoring this FUN and EXCITING night out!
On Tuesday, January 28th, fourth and fifth grade students will take the 5Essentials Student Survey. The feedback provided by students from this survey will be published in the School Report Card in October and also helps direct future school improvement goals. More information about this student survey can be found at https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/.
The week of February 3rd students in grades 1-4 will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test. The OLSAT is designed to measure abstract thinking and reasoning ability. Students in grades 1-2 will take three assessments in verbal and nonverbal modalities while students in grades 3-4 will take one assessment covering both areas. Verbal and nonverbal scores in addition to the total score, provide a more complete picture of students’ abilities. OLSAT results will be shared with parents during the 3rd trimester.
DuJardin School has been selected to participate in the 2019-2020 National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as NAEP. It is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what students across the country know and can do in a variety of subjects. Some of our nine-year-olds have been selected to take assessments in math, or reading. The parents of those students selected have been notified by mail and with a letter sent home with their child. This NAEP Assessment is scheduled for Tuesday, February 11th at 9:30 a.m.
2019-2020 Illinois Parent Survey
Dear Parent, The Illinois State Board of Education invites you to participate in a school improvement survey for parents. In this survey, you will be asked to provide feedback about DuJardin School. Please consider your child’s current experience at school (i.e., 2019-2020 school year). This survey is designed to help school and district leadership improve their understanding of the parent/school relationship.
All responses are completely anonymous. Responses to anonymous surveys cannot be traced back to the respondent. Additionally, your responses will be combined with other parents from DuJardin School and summarized in a school report to further protect your anonymity. Your participation in this survey is voluntary and you have the right to discontinue participation at any point.
If you have more than one (1) child, you may elect to participate multiple times.
The 5Essentials Parent Survey is now open. Parents are encouraged to complete this survey. Please use the following link to access the parent survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
Please take this very short survey regarding early release day
