High School Master Course Syllabi
The academic experience in the Dubuque Community School District is at the forefront of our work to prepare students who are lifelong learnings and citizens of character.
At the high-school level, the district’s curriculum teams and teachers have developed master course syllabi that ensure courses are providing high-quality, meaningful course experiences while meeting the required State of Iowa learning standards.
As a district, our goal is to be transparent in the materials used in district courses.
Parents/guardians of middle and high school students can always view their student’s course information and progress in Canvas, the district’s learning management system for grades 6-12.
