The 2021-22 school year is nearly upon us. It is going to be a great year! The first day is Sept. 1 and will only be the Meet & Greet session that is scheduled with the student’s teacher.  At this meeting families can meet the teacher, visit the classroom,  bring in their school supplies, and visit the office to pay fees, drop off medications or any other forms we may need.  If you do not have a session scheduled, call the office at  608-743-7000.   

Masks are required  in all SDJ   buildings  at this   time.

Parents will be asked to say their good-byes outside the door each day. School dismisses at 3:08 pm daily.  Your child will come out the same door they enter in the am.

Class Dojo

Our school-wide PBIS program uses an online communication and classroom management tool called Class Dojo.  We would like all parents to sign up for Class Dojo on your phone or computer so that you can easily connect with your child's teacher and see daily progress on their behavior, as well as what is going on in the classroom and in the school.  If you are not connected to Class Dojo, please  ask your child’s teacher for assistance.
