Announcing District 13’s Virtual Backpack - School District 13 is introducing a new tool for distributing information to parents which will help us “go green” by allowing approved non-profit community organizations to post flyers online instead of making and distributing hundreds of paper copies. Doing so, will also save the district and community members a tremendous amount of time and money. Beginning in January 2010, you will be able to access the “Virtual Backpack” link located on the District website and view materials appropriate to your child listed by school and grade level. We hope you find this tool helpful! District 13 Health Website - Click here for state health requirements and for information on the H1N1 virus. Unpredictable Poetry Podcasts - Click here to listen to the Poetry Podcasts created by the students in Mrs. Mirante's fifth grade class. To create these podcasts, the DuJardin students wrote their own poems, then chose music that fit the mood of their poems. With the help of Mrs. Mirante, Mrs. Gruzynski, and student Vishal P., the poems and music were combined into individual student podcasts.
