Message from Principal Haugens
Tomorrow is Spirit Day! Be BOLD, wear BLACK & GOLD or DuJardin Spirit Wear. Tomorrow is also Pajama Day for many grade levels. Students who wear pajamas for the ABC countdown will count towards Spirit Day.
Over the past month, students have been earning Accountability Paws for showing responsibility for their thoughts, words, and actions. The entire school will earn an incentive if students earn enough paws and fill up our Accountability Jar. Way to go to all students for showing accountability & Character Counts! We are very close to our goal.

Sign Up For Field Day Volunteering
Hi! Below you will see the link for the field day sign up genius! I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to choose an activity they felt comfortable leading!
Field Day will be taking place Friday June 3rd, raindate will be Monday June 6th.
*If you are only able to make it to AM (9-12) or PM (1-3) please EMAIL ME and do not sign up for an activity! I want to make sure we have coverage for all of the activities and will pair you up with someone who will be there at the opposite time you are!
There are currently 2 slots open for each activity- this is just so that all activities get filled. If we have at least 2 people at each activity, I will open up more slots!
Please email Mrs. Klassman with any questions! aklassman@sd13.org
Thank you for being willing to help out with field day! The students are really excited about it and cannot wait to do all of the activities!
Important: Message from Mrs. Bevente regarding Field Day T-Shirts
Field Day T-Shirts
Field Day T-Shirts will be coming home with K-3 & 5th students over the next few weeks! They will be inside of a plastic bag with a bright pink note attached to the outside of the bag. These shirts were handmade by the students, and are to be worn on Field Day which is Friday, June 3rd. Please do not allow your student to wear their Field Day T-Shirt prior to Field Day. The shirts are brand new and clean, however if you would like to wash your child's shirt prior to Field Day, please follow the instructions included with your child's shirt. It is not recommended to place any Field Day shirts into the dryer.
Message from Nurse Mills
A Home COVID test can now be accepted to show your child is COVID negative. Please ensure the nasal swab goes 1.5 cm (½-3/4 inch) into the nostril and gently press on the inside of the nostril while rotating the swab 5 times in each nostril. Write your child’s name and the date on paper. Then place the paper with the test strip and take a photo of the result. Photos can be emailed to me at lmills@sd13.org.
Covid-Positive: Anyone who tests positive for Covid must quarantine for 5 days and wear a mask upon return to school between days 6-10.
Close Contacts: If someone is identified as a close contact the student will be allowed to stay at school as long as they do not develop symptoms.
Summer 2022 Basketball and Soccer Camps
The dates and times have been set for both basketball and soccer summer camps. The camps are for any incoming 1st thru 6th graders (the grade your child will be in the Fall).
