ANDREW FAMILIES: Andrew will be running a REGULAR SCHEDULE on Tuesday, March 3rd. Even though Maquoketa schools will be running a 2-hour late start schedule due to the state basketball game, our students will begin on time at 8:00 am. Any MS/HS students who normally ride the bus to Maquoketa, will be picked up on a 2-hour delayed schedule. The bus will stop at school to pick up town kids, planning to leave for Maquoketa around 9:30 am.
Thank you!

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,
