Just a quick note to let you know that your child's Fall MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment report will be coming home with them tomorrow.

The MAP test is an adaptive assessment that helps us measure your child's academic growth and identify their strengths and areas for improvement. The report provides a "snapshot" of your child’s learning at this point in the school year.

When you look at the report, you'll see a RIT score. This number helps us understand your child's current instructional level. You'll also see a percentile, which shows how your child's score compares to other students in the same grade nationally.

Please take some time to review the report with your child. It's a great tool to help start a conversation with them about their progress. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher.

Tomorrow is the last day to donate non-perishable food items for the Bloomingdale Food Pantry.

Please help us make a difference in our community by donating what you can. Thank you for your continued partnership!

Thank you to all our DuJardin parents who were able to attend Curriculum Night last week! We truly appreciate your partnership in supporting your child's learning and growth.

If you were unable to attend Curriculum Night, we shared information about the construction that will take place at DuJardin starting this summer. Below is a quick video that highlights that new addition of three kindergarten classrooms and an all purpose room at DuJardin Elementary School.

This school year, parents must opt-into the DuJardin PTO Directory. Click here to place your child(ren)'s directory information to be available to all DuJardin students and families.

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and District 13 is GOING GOLD in honor of Michael Carr and to support Cal's Angels.

It's important to be aware of some of the facts about childhood cancer:

Childhood cancer is the number one cause of death by disease for children under the age of 15.
Every year, approximately 16,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States.
Less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget is dedicated to childhood cancer research.

Cal's Angels works to provide hope and support to these young fighters and their families by granting wishes and funding critical research. We are proud to support an organization that brings so much light to children in need.

Would you like to celebrate your child's achievements with the DuJardin community? We love to recognize our students' accomplishments both inside and outside of school. If your child won a trophy with their sports team or outside organization, or achieved a significant milestone, we'd be happy to announce it during our morning announcements or lunch period.
