Dear Parents,

Tomorrow is an Early Release for students in first - fifth grade. Students will be dismissed at 1:40 pm. Tomorrow is also Career Day at DuJardin. What do you want to be when you grow up? Show up tomorrow dressed for your future career! Thank you to the Student Council for sponsoring the event. We ask students to donate .25 cents to participate. We will also have Jaguar Dens tomorrow and engage in a GRATITUDE activity.

There is no school for students next week because of Parent-Teacher Conferences and Fall Break. School will resume on Monday, November 27. 2023. We hope students, families, and staff enjoy time with family & friends. The more you practice the art of being THANKFUL, the more you have to be THANKFUL for.
