Core Values

​

• My School Bucks Parent Instructions
• Fees are usually due in September.
• Look for an email from the District Office around the start of the school year to pay registration fees. At the current time, your child(ren) are not entered into My School Bucks so you will not be able to pay fees.

Arrival

Dismissal

Dismissal Procedures: Students will be dismissed from school at 3:30 p.m. Teachers will bring their class to the front door. If students walk home, they are to go directly home. If students ride a bus, they are to go directly to their bus and board it properly. These parking lot procedures are for everyone’s safety. Please use good judgement when entering and leaving the parking lot. When picking up your child(ren), please observe the parking procedures for the parking lot. Drivers are to remain in their cars and students will be directed to their cars. No cars for student drop-off or pick-up are allowed in the bus lot. Pick-up and drop-off are to be done at areas located within the visitor/staff parking lot. The pick-up and drop-off lane is the lane closest to the school. The drive thru lane, which is the lane nearest the parked cars, should not have parked cars at any time. Your support of these guidelines is appreciated. When exiting the parking lot, parents are asked to make a RIGHT hand turn on Euclid.

Dismissal

Crosswalk

CrossWalk: The Village of Bloomingdale relocated the school crosswalk in 2023 The new crosswalk is located north of the DuJardin entrance (parking lot). A staff member will be located at the crosswalk during arrival and dismissal. We ask that all students and parents use the crosswalk.

Bus (Transportation)

Students who reside more than 1.5 miles away from school or along a hazardous route receive FREE bus transportation. All other students must pay for the bus. Parents are able to pay for the bus one-way (to or from school) or both ways (to & from school).

​

The bus transportation fee can be found in the My School Bucks App.

​

The school will provide parents with bus routes and stops prior to the first day of the school year.

Bus (Transportation)

Students must ride their assigned bus and get on/off at their assigned stop. Students can not ride another bus to or from school without prior permission from the office.

​

Students are to be at their bus stop prior to the buses arrival time.

​

Student Bus Safety Drills will be conducting by the bus company in the fall. The principal and assistant principal will discuss bus expectations with students at the beginning of the school year.

​

Lunch Procedures

DuJardin does not have a hot lunch program. Students should bring a lunch to school with them each day. If a student forgets a lunch once or twice during the school year, a phone call home will be made. If a student repeatedly forgets a lunch, the school will provide the student with a sack lunch. For safety purposes, we do not allow food to be delivered to school by restaurants or delivery services.

​

The PTO offers a hot lunch program throughout the school year. Please refer to the Jaguar Journal regarding days of the hot lunch program and ordering procedures.

Indoor or Outdoor Recess

Outdoor or Indoor Recess?: Students will line up outside at arrival and enjoy outdoor recess when temperatures are 10 degrees or above (windchill). We also monitor the conditions of the blacktop when determining outdoor recess during the winter months. 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.

About Your Student’s Medication:

• The district's medication administration policy mandates that all medication to be administered at school requires an MD order, this includes over-the-counter medications. Students may NOT keep over-the-counter meds in their backpacks or in their lockers--including cough drops, Advil, etc. This is an important safety concern! Please review the policy included in the registration process.

Birthday Celebrations

BIRTHDAYS: No birthday FOOD treats allowed (candy included)

During morning announcements the names of all those celebrating a birthday will be announced. Anyone whose birthday is on the weekend will have his/her name read on Friday. Those students with summer birthdays will be announced on their half birthday.

As a result of food allergies, and other food related issues, birthday treats are NOT to be sent to school. Students will not be allowed to pass out any items. The school will give each student a birthday token. Kindergarten teachers will provide information at the beginning of the school year about donating a BIRTHDAY BOOK to the classroom library as a way to celebrate.

​

****Birthday Invitations are of a personal nature and should NOT to be sent to school to be passed out. This practice has caused hurt feelings for those students not invited. Please send invitations by mail only. The school office is unable to provide addresses or phone numbers to parents. PTO will provide a classroom directory.
