Message from Principal Haugens
Tomorrow is Spirit Day! Be BOLD, wear BLACK & GOLD or DuJardin Spirit Wear. It is also our last day of Disability Awareness Week. Tomorrow we bring awareness to Autism. Students are able to wear multi-colors. Students who wear multi-colors will count towards their classrooms Spirit Day count.
We look forward to our Virtual Talent Show tomorrow. Teachers will designate a time for students to view the video during the school day. Classroom teachers will place the Talent Show video in their Google Classroom so students can share the video with parents and family members.
Spring vacation begins Monday, March 28th and continues through Friday, April 1st. School will resume Monday, April 4th. I hope all DuJardin families have a safe and relaxing Spring Break!

DuJardin Family in Need

If you have items or would like to make a donation, feel free to drop it off in the DuJardin office tomorrow or next week. If you would like to make a monetary donation, there is a GoFundMe page set up for the family at https://gofund.me/1453b504

Thank you for working together to decrease our number of COVID positive cases.
-As a reminder, students should stay at home if they have a fever of 100.0℉ or higher or experience diarrhea, nausea and/or vomiting. Students should remain at home until symptom free for a minimum of 24 hours without the aid of medication.
-If a student is sent home from school, he or she should not return to school the next day.
The CDC Signs or symptoms of COVID-19 in children include:
- Fever--Fatigue--Headache--Myalgia (muscle aches)--Cough--Nasal congestion or rhinorrhea--New loss of taste or smell--Sore throat--Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing--Abdominal pain (Kids usually say stomach ache)--Diarrhea--Nausea or vomiting--Poor appetite or poor feeding
COVID Testing
Students returning to school after having any of the COVID symptoms will need a negative COVID test. This testing can be completed at school ONLY if we have a signed consent form on file. If we do not have a negative test or a signed Consent Form, your child will not be allowed in class. During that situation students sit in the office until we are able to contact parents to obtain a signature or to be picked up.
Your student can avoid this lengthy process if the Consent Form is already on file. If you would like to permit your student to be tested for COVID at school when they have been symptomatic, please print the form below for each of your children, sign it, and return it to school if you have not already done so.

Student Placement Information
This request form is due back to Mr. Haugens by Friday, April 8th. Although a request form is not required, parent input about a child’s academic experiences can provide valuable insight to this process. Please remember that considerations for placing students in classes include but are not limited to class size, gender ratio, academic levels, student learning styles, specific student needs, diversity, and student peer relations. It is not recommended that a parent request a specific teacher due to the fact that requests are difficult to satisfy and teaching assignments can change from school year to school year. If you have questions about this form, please phone Mr. Patrick Haugens at 630-894-9200.

Community Collaboration Group
Bloomingdale School District 13 is creating an opportunity to bring local residents together to discuss district-wide issues, learn about the school district, and address concerns through the Community Collaboration Group. The Group will have their first projected meeting sometime after Spring Break and it is my hope that you will consider being part of this effort to increase communication and knowledge of the District within the community. Going forward, the Group will meet between 3-4 times per year. If you are interested in being considered part of this group, please email Dr. Bartelt at jbartelt@sd13.org by Monday, April 11.
Thank you again for your continued interest in District 13 and your willingness to volunteer!
