This is an opportunity for you and your child(ren) to come to DuJardin before school begins to 1) say hello to the teacher and 2) drop-off classroom supplies. We ask that parents or another adult accompany students to Meet the Teacher/Supply Drop-Off.

Due to ongoing construction, we will be adjusting our arrival and dismissal routines for the upcoming school year. Please note that K–3 students will no longer line up on the side blacktop, as a secure fence will surround the construction area to ensure student safety.

To guarantee a safe environment, no active exterior construction will take place during student drop-off or pick-up times. Student safety is always our top priority. We will share specific arrival and dismissal details as we get closer to the first day of school!

We have selected specific math fact fluency skills from kindergarten - fifth grade. Enter the codes found below in the IXL search bar to access the math fact skill. Start with the kindergarten skills and work your way up through the grade levels. Reach a SmartScore of 90 or higher on all skills in the grade level and earn a brag tag.
