Curriculum Night: - Tonight is Curriculum Night from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm. Curriculum Night is for parents to visit the classroom, meet the teacher, and learn about the curriculum and expectations for the school year. Each teacher will present information for the first portion of the session and leave opportunities for questions towards the end. There are two sessions from 6:00 pm - 6:40 pm & 6:50 pm - 7:30 pm. We offer two sessions for parents with multiple students.
Early Release: Tomorrow is an early release for students in first - fifth grade. Students will be dismissed at 1:40 pm. Kindergarten students will have a normal schedule.
Go Orange: During the month of September, we will ask students to donate canned
Goods or non-perishable food items. There is a box in the front lobby for students to
Place food items. DuJardin will also celebrate “GO ORANGE” day on Friday, September 23rd. Students will be asked to wear orange to raise awareness about hunger.

Lead Like A Jagaur
At DuJardin, we want students to become leaders who model a positive attitude (growth mindset), set and achieve positive goals, understand and manage emotions, show empathy for others, and make responsible decisions (solve problems). Teachers will be using the Second Step curriculum & other resources to help ensure our students #LeadLikeJaguars.
Focus for August 30th - September 30th: Growth Mindset & Goal-Setting: Children learn how to pay attention and manage distractions, develop a growth mindset, and apply goal-setting strategies to their social and academic lives.
