If you have a student who attends Maquoketa Middle/High School and rides the bus, please look at the communication from Maquoketa Schools. Any transportation needs you have, need to be communicated through Maquoketa.
I know the weather is getting a little warmer, especially for February. Please remember to still send your child to school with a coat (spring or winter). In order to go outside to play, we expect all students to wear a coat (not just a hooded sweatshirt).
Thank you,
