Registration for free four-year-old preschool in the Dubuque Community School District will begin on Monday, Jan. 9. This includes all 12 Dubuque public elementary schools offering preschool through the Statewide Voluntary Free Preschool Program.
Parents and guardians may register students in person at the selected site, beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, January 9.
Proof-of-age, preferably a birth certificate, is required to register a student. Other accepted proof-of-age documents include a passport or signed immunization record.
Preschool registration paperwork is available to complete in advance beginning on the district’s preschool webpage or in-person at all elementary schools. You can also find registration details and forms, as well as additional preschool information, online at www.dbqschools.org/preschool.
Free four-year-old preschool is open to students who are four by September 15. For additional registration questions, individuals should contact the school they are interested in registering at.
Space may be limited in some facilities and registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Enrollment for preschool is not based on geography and all sites are open to residents within the Dubuque Community School District.
In addition to spots in Dubuque’s public schools, a variety of community preschool partners also offer free four-year-old preschool.
The Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program for Four-Year-Old Children is funded by the State of Iowa and facilitated locally by the Dubuque Community School District.
The month of September is Attendance Awareness month. Attending school every day is so important to student success. Even missing just 2 days of school each month can result in students getting behind. Good attendance means working together! We are committed to partnering with you to make sure your child can be at school every day. Please contact Mr. Ferguson regarding any concerns for your student. We are looking forward to a great school year!
This book was created from the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque’s Every Child Reads initiative. To learn more about Every Child Reads, visit readdbq.org or facebook.com/groups/dbq.ecr.

A group of Eisenhower students, led by Mrs. Klinkner, worked to raise funds to clean up our oceans through “Save the Waves”.
Last week, Eisenhower Elementary joined schools across the country to celebrate #RespectWeek to highlight the joys of 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 and learn about the importance of 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡.
We are so proud of Eisenhower’s work as a Special Olympics Unified Champion School®!
JanFanCon is a celebration of all things fandom during the month of January. From anime, comics, and Harry Potter to Dungeons & Dragons, Doctor Who, and more! Dubuque County libraries and businesses have come together to bring you a variety of events and programs.
Eisenhower School received two awards this fall from the Judy Chandlee Tribute to Teachers Grant. Judy Chandlee was a beloved Kindergarten teacher at Eisenhower School for many years and it means a great deal for the school to receive these grants.
Mrs. David wrote a grant to enhance literacy skills in Kindergarten. The purpose of this project is to incorporate a multi-sensory approach to literacy. Students will explore reading using hands-on activities to keep them engaged and to reach all students at their reading level. With these sensory materials, students will be supported during both teacher-led activities and independent literacy stations to help cement their knowledge of literacy skills and standards.
Mrs. Dostal wrote a grant to support social and emotional learning through library books. The goal of this project is to add books that address social and emotional needs into the Eisenhower library collection. Books have been selected from Follett that were reviewed by notable library associations as addressing social and emotional learning for kids. These books will be available to all students and teachers through the library to support social and emotional teaching goals and student needs. After the many disruptions to life caused by Covid, social and emotional learning has become a very important focus for schools across the country. Books can be a powerful tool to open up meaningful conversations and help students address these needs.
Online registration for the 2021-2022 school year is now open! Visit the registration webpage for full details!
