As we reach the end of the first trimester, we're proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished in the first twelve weeks of school! Let's take this time to recharge, reflect, and get ready for even more learning and growth in the upcoming trimesters. As a reminder: there will be no school on Thursday, November 14, and Friday, November 15. Classes will resume on Monday, November 18. #wdbqschools
Congratulations to the students of Cascade High School and Western Dubuque High School on their fantastic fall performances!

These productions showcased outstanding talent, engagement, and opportunities for all—truly embodying our commitment to continual growth. Bravo to everyone involved! #wdbqschools
