Principal Post
We are working in conjunction with the Bloomingdale Police Department to keep our schools safe. The Bloomingdale Police Department was here in the fall as the staff and students practiced an emergency response drill that required an interior hard lock down procedure. Practicing emergency response procedures is an annual requirement mandated by the state. We continue to encourage on duty police officers to walk our building and grounds at any time during the day to help them become familiar with the staff, students, classrooms, and the layout of our facilities. So don’t be alarmed if you spot a police officer or police car on school property. We hope this becomes a regular occurrence as we welcome this opportunity to meet and greet our community’s first responders. DuJardin School is celebrating National Police Appreciation Week with a luncheon in the gym for BPD officers on Wednesday, May 8th.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the DuJardin PTO for a terrific year of fundraising and for sponsoring so many fun and exciting school events for all of our children. This year the PTO purchased flexible seating and furniture for various classrooms throughout the building. Many THANKS to our president, Cynthia Hunn, vice president, Linda Korbel secretary, Melissa Johnson, co/treasurers, Jill Shannon and Debbie Cozzo, and our teacher representative, Kristen Novotny for their terrific service to DuJardin School all year long. Our students and staff are lucky to have such an AWESOME and DEDICATED group of people to work with!
