Thanks to both Mrs. Munoz and Mrs. Marshall for all they do in the office on a daily basis for the students, staff and parents. We are so lucky to have both ladies be our "Directors of First Impressions" of the DuJardin School community!
As students in all grades wrap up MAP testing over the next two weeks the staff has much work to do in regards to analyzing student data. On Wednesday, May 15th staff will use the early dismissal/release time to analyze data, in both reading and math, to determine student growth and work on student placement for the 2019-2020 school year.
