A little rain couldn’t keep our golfers off the course! Last week, our high school boys golf teams squared off at Dubuque Golf and Country Club for their final meet of the regular season. Now, it’s time for the postseason! Our golfers are teeing off at their district meet today. Good luck to all our golfers as they compete for a spot at state! ⛳🌧

All aboard the Career Cruise!

Carver Elementary fifth graders rotate through different groups to hear from parents and guardians about their careers and discover the many different paths and opportunities available to them.

After each visit, students jot down notes about what they learned and earn a stamp in their Career Cruise passport!

It’s a fun way to connect classroom learning to the world beyond school while helping students discover careers they may not have considered before. We love seeing our students stay curious and hear from members of their own community! ❤📘🚢🌎

Going back to the basics! Students in Photography class at Dubuque Senior High School recently explored the art of pinhole photography using metal cans as their cameras.

They captured their work onto photographic paper before heading into the darkroom to develop it. After that, students took time to examine their work and make notes about different aspects of each one.

It’s a hands-on look at the creative process and a great way for students to experience the art of photography beyond the camera! 📷✨

There’s something special about experiencing live music up close! Some of our elementary students recently had the chance to hear the Dakota Wind Quintet perform while learning more about the instruments that make up a woodwind ensemble.

The quintet brought its music directly to our schools, giving students a chance to experience a live musical performance right in their own gymnasium. Experiences like these can spark curiosity, introduce students to new forms of artistic expression, help build an appreciation for the arts.

We’re grateful to the Dubuque Arts Council for helping bring this musical experience to our students!🎷🪈🎶

It was a night full of music at Thomas Jefferson Middle School!

After fifth grade students register for band and orchestra, they have the opportunity to participate in Super Lessons, where they learn from experts who specialize in their instruments. Students at all levels and music professionals came together at Jefferson on Tuesday for group lessons.

It was great to see our young musicians learning new skills and making music together! 🎺🎷🎶

It was all about books and reading at Roosevelt Middle School yesterday for Library Tuesdays! Students had the chance to browse the shelves, find something that piqued their interest, and sit down to read. There’s nothing better than seeing our students discover a good book and take some time to get lost in the pages. 📖❤️📚

Safety on the school bus starts with knowing what to do. Our transportation team is visiting schools across the district to talk with students about bus safety, walk through emergency procedures, then put those lessons into practice with evacuation drills.
These conversations and drills help students build the knowledge they need to make safe choices every time they ride. It’s all part of helping students feel familiar with the steps they can take to stay safe while riding the bus.🚌❤️🦺
