Socktober: During the next two weeks, we will be collecting socks for our neighbors in need. Socks are the #1 requested item in homeless shelters. We are going to have a friendly competition between the grade levels. The grade level that collects the most socks will earn a prize. Stay tuned to find out who is in the lead. Click here for more information.
All students will participate in a CRAZY SOCK DAY on Friday, October 27, 2023.
InsightEx Family Survey: District 13 is proud to partner with HumanEx Ventures utilizing their research based climate and culture survey, InsightEx. This provides the opportunity to collect feedback from staff, students and families allowing the district and schools to utilize that information for review, goal setting, as well as information on how to best serve the community. Please click the image to open the survey link.
Our Goal: To hear from at least 20% of families at each school.
Helping Shelve Books in the Library: We are looking for parent volunteers to help shelve books in the library. If you are able to find time in your schedule to shelve books in the library, we would love to have your assistance. Please contact Heather Shermak, DuJardin Librarian at hshermak@sd13.org.
