HOT LUNCH NEWS!
The April and May hot lunch calendars are now available! Get your orders in now. The last day for hot lunch this school year will be May 19. Also, Buona is having to replace pretzels with chips for the rest of the year and you will see that reflected on the ordering calendar.
IMPORTANT NOTES: If your child is absent on a Buona lunch day, you can still get your lunch. Please call the office to let them know that you will be picking up your child’s lunch. The lunch volunteers will leave your child’s lunch in the school office and lunch needs to be picked up between 11:55-12:30. You can also cancel lunches ahead of time by clicking on the lunch in the calendar and hitting “cancel”. If you can’t remember if you have scheduled your child’s lunch or not, there is a history option to see the orders you have placed. If you have any questions, let us know at: djpto13@gmail.com
ORDERING DEADLINES REMINDER: The deadline for Tuesday lunch is Friday, Wednesday lunch is Saturday and the deadline for Thursday is Sunday. Learn more here: https://www.sd13.org/PTO.aspx.
PLEASE DO NOT DELETE YOUR STUDENT: From the Buona Lunch ordering system.
You will be unable to make changes to existing orders and your order history will not
be viewable if your student is deleted.
Hot Lunch Volunteers: We are in need of Hot Lunch volunteers! We cannot run this program without parent volunteer support. It’s only an hour and not an every week commitment. Sign up on the days that work for you here: Hot lunch sign up.

SEL @ DuJardin
During the month of April, DuJardin will focus on the character trait, Accountability, as an entire school. We feel that accountability is a trait that students need to be successful in school and life. In order to #LeadLikeAJaguar, we must be accountable for our thoughts, words, and actions. This trait closely aligns with the Character Counts! Pillar of Responsibility. During the month, classrooms will introduce & define accountability as being responsible for your thoughts, words, and actions. Students have a chance to earn an Accountability Paw for demonstrating the character trait. The Accountability Paw will be placed in a drawing for weekly prizes and be recognized on morning announcements. There will also be a weekly read aloud by Mr. Haugens based on a book with an Accountability Theme.
It’s Not My Fault Read Aloud: https://youtu.be/c9g-0J9M1w8
Mr. Haugens visited all 1st - 5th grade classrooms the past two weeks to discuss Relationships, Responsibility/Accountability, & Regulation. During the classroom visits, students were asked to share their feelings related to how nice, kind, and respectful classmates are towards each other. In 4th & 5th grade classrooms, we dove a little deeper into student perceptions of their sense of belonging. Students were asked how much they felt valued as members of the school community. Classroom talks concluded with students making a promise to themselves and the classroom to help improve the overall climate.
