Just a friendly reminder that there will be no school on Monday, September 1st, in observance of Labor Day. We hope you have a wonderful three-day weekend! School will resume on Tuesday, September 2nd.

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 4, 2025. This event is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about the academic program and expectations for the school year. There will be two identical sessions for families who have multiple children.

Please note that this is a parent-only event

There will be two identical sessions to accommodate parents with multiple students:

First Session: 6:00 PM - 6:40 PM
Second Session: 6:50 PM - 7:30 PM

You only need to attend one session, as the same information will be presented at both.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This coming week is our annual Safety Week, where we will practice all of our school-wide safety drills. These drills are a crucial part of our emergency preparedness plan, ensuring that our students and staff know how to respond to various situations. ComEd will also be here to share information about safety with our first and second grade students. The students really enjoyed the "Safety Town" presentation shared during the presentation.

A Lock-Down drill is scheduled for Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. As a reminder, parents have the option to have their child(ren) not participate in this specific drill. If you wish to opt your child out, please have them arrive at school after 9:20 a.m. on Wednesday.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep our school community safe and prepared.

DuJardin Elementary is proud to announce we are participating in the Go Orange initiative to raise awareness about hunger. We will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Bloomingdale Food Pantry from Monday, September 1st, through Friday, September 12th.
