Message from Principal Haugens
Yesterday, you should have received an email from Dr. Bartelt sharing updated guidelines related to quarantine and isolation. Below is a portion of Dr. Bartel's email which has the most important changes in guidelines:
My student tested positive for COVID-19: My student is able to return 5 days after the onset of symptoms (or 5 days after specimen collection date if no symptoms are present), if the following criteria are met:
• Continue to wear a well-fitted mask around others for 5 additional days after release from isolation.
• Avoid being around students or staff who are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease.
• If masks need to be removed (e.g., for lunch), ensure 6 feet of physical distancing until 10 days after symptom onset or positive test.
My student is a Close Contact & NOT VACCINATED: My child is able to return 5 days after exposure to the COVID-Positive Individual unless symptoms develop.
• Are to stay home and mask around others for 5 days and then continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days.
• Should test on day 5, if possible.
• Should immediately isolate if symptoms develop until a negative test confirms symptoms are not caused by COVID-19.
My student is a Close Contact & FULLY VACCINATED: Fully vaccinated students are still not required to quarantine, unless symptoms develop.
The District will implement this guidance beginning Tuesday, January 18. District and building administrators are working on plans that will allow for returns of isolating students after 5 days to the greatest extent possible, however there may be scenarios where 6 feet of distance cannot be kept during lunchtime. Students who are currently quarantined or isolated are still to return to school on the date they were originally provided by the school nurse unless otherwise notified.
The District is pleased that this updated guidance will allow for greater student attendance. School nurses and/or administrators will continue to guide families through their return to school date from quarantine or isolation.

SEL @ DuJardin
SEL @ DuJardin: During the month of January, all grade levels will focus on emotions SELF-AWARENESS and regulation strategies SELF-MANAGEMENT. All students will be introduced to the Zones of Regulation & strategies to ensure we stay calm and in control of our emotions throughout the day. Understanding & Regulating emotions is important if we want to #LeadLikeAJaguar. All of us will encounter NOT-OK situations in our lives and will need strategies/techniques to stay calm in order to make respectful and responsible decisions.
What are the Zones of Regulation: The Zones of Regulation categorizes all the different emotions/feelings into four concrete colored zones.
The Red Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with anger, rage, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone.
The Yellow Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.
The Green Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with being happy, focused, content, or ready to learn. This is the zone where optimal learning occurs.
The Blue Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with being sad, tired, sick, or bored.
Regulation Strategy/Tip of the Week: Cookie Breathing
