πMessage From Principal Haugens
Dear Parents,
DuJardin has two ways families can give this holiday season. The Kids for Character Club is collecting donations for the local animal shelter. Click here to view a list of needed items. The Student Council is collecting donations for the Strong Like Kate Toy Drive. Click here to view needed items and more information about the toy drive.
Outdoor or Indoor Recess? Students will line up outside at arrival and enjoy outdoor recess when temperatures are 10 degrees or above (windchill). Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather with a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Students are able to play in the snow if they are dressed in snow boots, snow pants, winter coat, hat, and gloves.
Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Caring
