The Unified Activity Federation—comprised of the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA), Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU), Iowa High School Music Association (IHSMA), and Iowa High School Speech Association (IHSSA)—has designated Sunday, July 27 through Sunday, August 3, 2024, as the official Summer Non-Contact Period across the state of Iowa.
Now in its fourth year, this annual break provides a consistent pause in scheduled activities, giving students, coaches, and staff members the opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy time away from structured programs.
During this weeklong period, Western Dubuque Community School District will suspend all activities, including:
Camps
Clinics
Workouts
Strength and conditioning
Lessons
Team or individual meetings
We encourage our families to use this time to relax, reflect, and prepare for the exciting year ahead. Thank you for supporting this shared commitment to student well-being and balance.
