Transcript of WELCOME TO OUR NEW STAFF AT DUJARDIN2 - Be aware of the reduced speed in the school zones. 3 - While...
From the Principal Our first week of school was a tremendous success! The students and staff were very eager and excited
to be back to school.
MAP testing will be held during the weeks of September 8th through September 30TH. Students in all
grades will be taking MAP assessments in the areas of reading and math. A parent letter regarding
information about MAP testing will be attached to the journal next week.
Please review the article from the Bloomingdale Police Department regarding several laws that are in
effect during school hours, on school property and in a school zone. The BPD has written tickets to
violators of these laws in the past. They want the public to be aware of these laws as “ignorance is no
excuse.”
Parents please be aware that the doors to the school are locked throughout the day and evening. Access to
the building is limited. If for some reason you and your child need access to the building after hours the
custodians have been instructed to check the front doors on the hour at 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 7:00 pm in
order to allow students, escorted by a parent, back into the building. Once the Park District basketball
program starts (October through March) the front doors of the school will be open from 6:00-9:00 pm but
the hallway gates will closed and locked. Custodians will be instructed to check the gates at the same times
listed above.
The Village of Bloomingdale has proclaimed September 3rd as “Go Orange Day” to help raise hunger
awareness and encourage the Bloomingdale community to make a difference by donating non-perishable
food items to local pantries. DuJardin School is participating in this drive and we hope you do too. See the
attached flyer regarding this special day. We will have a collection box at DuJardin School for these
items.

The health and safety of all DuJardin students is a priority. We have students with life-
threatening peanut and tree nut (cashews, walnuts, pistachios, etc.) allergies. We are not banning
these types of foods from our school entirely however, there are areas of the building that are
designated as peanut and tree nut free. Please do not bring any food containing peanuts or tree
nuts into the building that will be consumed by anyone other than your child. Please reinforce
with your child the importance of not sharing or trading food at snack time or lunch time. We
greatly appreciate your assistance in keep DuJardin a safe place for all students.

To The Parents of 5th Grade Students…
and the
staff at the Bloomingdale Police Department. We wish to welcome all the students back to a new
school year. We are looking forward to a successful and safe experience for all. A few quick
reminders and helpful hints to all parents and citizens driving through the school areas in town.
1 - Just a reminder about the prohibited use of cell... phones while in school zones. Illinois Vehicle
Code 625 ILCS 5/12-610.1(e)
"A person, regardless of age, may not use a wireless telephone at any time while operating a
motor vehicle on a roadway in a school zone."
2 - Be aware of the reduced speed in the school zones.
3 - While traveling on a divided four lane roadway (example Schick Road), a vehicle traveling in
the opposite direction of a school bus, is not required to stop when the school bus is stopped.
This includes the dropping or picking up of students. As always we expect the motoring public to
drive with caution and be mindful of children near the roadway.
* 4 - There has been a new stop sign placed on Schick Road at South Prairie Avenue. This is for
East / West Traffic on Schick Road.
The goal is to make this a safer intersection for all pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Any questions or concerns, please contact the Bloomingdale Police Department at (630) 529-
9868.
Thank You!
