Dear Parents,
Have you signed up for Parent-Teacher Conferences yet? Click here to access teacher schedules to select a day & time. Conferences occur November 13th - December 1st.
Do you have a family member or family friend who is a Veteran? If so, DuJardin would like to invite them to join us for a luncheon at 12:15 pm with our student council members, followed by a hallway appreciation parade, and Q&A sessions in various classrooms on Friday, November 10th. Please RSVP by filling out this form or calling the school office at 630-894-9200 by November 6th.
In honor of Veterans Day, A Wall of Heroes is being created at DuJardin to recognize our Veterans. If you would like to honor a veteran you know, please fill out the attached Hero Form and return it to school as soon as possible.
Congrats to our Fourth Grade students for donating the most socks during our SOCKTOBER event. The DuJardin students donated over 1,000 pairs of socks. Thank you to everyone for your donation.
Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Caring

π¦ November Poll
What is your favorite pie?
DuJardin is tracking attendance and notifying parents when a student has been absent for 10% or more of the school year. If your child has missed 5 or more days since the start of the school year, please look for an email from the principal. Our goal is to improve daily attendance and reduce the number of student absences from last school year.
- 56% of students were absent 5% (9 days) or more during the 2022-2023 school year.
- 15% of students were absent 10% (18 days) or more during the 2022-2023 school year.
π‘ Reminders
Parent-Teacher Conference Sign-Up: Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place between November 20th - December 1st. Click here to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences.
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.
District 13 Holiday Card Contest: Each year District 13 sends out holiday cards to various local businesses and schools. Dr. Bartelt, our district superintendent, would love to feature artwork from DuJardin, Erickson, and Westfield students on the cover of them! If your child(ren) are interested, have them draw and color a holiday card design on the included form. Students should have brought home a hard copy of this form as well. The card design should include holiday or winter theming. If your child chooses to participate, please have the design completed and turned into their classroom teacher by Wednesday, November 15th. A winner from each school will be chosen, and their artwork will be featured on the cover of a District 13 holiday card! Good luck!
