Every five years, the Dubuque Community School District updates its Special Education Service Delivery Plan, which outlines how the district implements services for students eligible for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

As part of this process, public comment is sought on the draft version of then plan.

We can’t wait to welcome your student and family – and the rest of the Class of 2038 – to our Kindergarten Welcome Event on Thursday, April 24, at 5:30 p.m.!

We are ready for you!

WHAT TO EXPECT
When you attend the Kindergarten Welcome Event at your home school, you will have the opportunity to meet our school staff and see the building where your student will begin their educational journey.

To allow us to maximize the space, and focus fully on our kindergarten students, we ask that only parents and new kindergarten students attend the Welcome Event if possible.

During the event, our staff will deliver presentations for families on a variety of topics such as staff introductions, annual verification process, and get all the must-know information about our school. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

Most importantly, we are excited to show you all the things that make our school community so special.

Students will have the chance to participate in short, fund activities with our kindergarten team. This gives us a chance to get to know your student better and gives your student a chance to get a taste of their soon-to-be new school!

We look forward to welcoming you on April 24 and working with you and your student as you make the transition to kindergarten! Please feel free to contact our school office with any questions in advance.
