Dear Parents,

Tomorrow is an Early Release Day for students in first - fifth grade. Students will be dismissed at 1:40 pm. Kindergarten will follow their normal schedule. Student Council is sponsoring a Celebrity Day. Students are encouraged to dress like their favorite celebrity. Hats are allowed, but no other props. 25 cents to participate which goes toward upcoming school events.

There is no school on Monday, February 19, 2024, in honor of Presidents Day. We hope students enjoy their three day weekend.

Please be aware of students and families crossing the street at all times, but especially during arrival and dismissal. We have quite a few students who cross the street at Euclid and Ironwood, along with other intersections around DuJardin. We will remind students to cross at designated cross-walks. We ask that families who are driving in the neighborhood be alert at all times. Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Caring!!!!
