Get TEXT ALERTS from Dubuque Schools!
To better inform our families about schedule changes, the Dubuque Community School District will begin offering text messaging for weather-related and emergency alerts from the district. The service is offered through School Messenger, the system the district currently uses for mass email messages and automated phone calls.
HERE’S HOW TO BE SURE YOU RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES:
- On TUESDAY, FEB. 21, between approximately 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. all phone numbers on file for families and staff will receive a text message asking them to opt in.
- If your phone has SMS or text messaging capability, you will receive the initial message.
- When you receive this text, REPLY “Yes” or “Y” to confirm that you’d like to continue receiving text messages.
- That’s it! You will then receive text messages for weather and emergency alerts.
- You can opt out of these text messages at any time by replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.
PLEASE NOTE: The district will only use text messages for weather-related or emergency purposes, not for general district information. Subscribers are responsible for any applicable text messaging charges from their carrier.

Eisenhower Lego League Buzzzzzes Their Way to State!
FIRST Lego League consist of 3 equally important components: Lego League Core Values, a team Project, and a Robotics competition.
The Eisenhower 5 Star Stingers competed at the regional tournament in Dubuque in December. At the regionals, we competed against 30 teams ranging in ages from 9-14 (4th through 8th grade). The top 8 teams were selected to compete at State in Ames- and we were among that group!
We then traveled to Ames to compete on Jan.15th. We competed in 3 robotics rounds, a project presentation, a core values interview, and a robotics interview. At state, our highest robot score was 107 pts! We ended up bringing home a trophy for 2nd place in the project research category.
We are so proud of our team this year, we had 8 new members and 2 returning members! To make it to state AND receive 2nd place for our project was a HUGE accomplishment!
