Our character assembly for the month of March was held on March 1st. The Dubuque Fighting Saints and Bernie came to help instill the 7 character words of kindness, cooperation, perseverance, empathy, citizenship, respect, and responsibility in students and to show them how to Live Like A Saint off the ice. Check out the pictures from the assembly HERE and the videos of the assembly HERE.

A new Dubuque Community School District event will help give families a jump-start on preparing for kindergarten.
The Kindergarten Kick-Off, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 16, gives families the chance to drop-in between 3:30-6 p.m. at 12 of Dubuque’s public elementary schools. At the event, families will complete initial kindergarten paperwork, receive a packet of paperwork to take with them, and have a chance to meet school staff. As a charter school, Prescott Elementary School will begin kindergarten sign-up during its enrollment period in late February.
