It was great to have families in the building today for conferences and our October Birthday celebration!






Colder weather is here!

Local legislators and candidates connected to the Western Dubuque School District have been invited to visit our schools and engage with students and staff on Friday, October 25. We’re proud to welcome seven lawmakers who will join us at Western Dubuque High School, Epworth Elementary, and Cascade Junior/Senior High for meaningful conversations and firsthand experiences. This is one of the ways we strive to fulfill our vision of "Better Every Day.
