Welcome Back to all MCSD staff! We had a heartfelt and inspiring message from 1982 Maquoketa graduate Bobbi (Head) Earles to send us into the new school year! Bobbi shared how Maquoketa teachers gave her the encouragement and care to be who she is today! Here's to a great year!

Maquoketa Families,
We have a full day of school tomorrow, Wednesday, May 29th in order to ensure we meet our school hour requirement for the year. The last day of school is Thursday, May 30th. This is also a full day of school.
![](https://thrillshare.com/fallback/circled_default_avatar.png)
Just a reminder that our Track & Field Day was postponed to Wednesday, May 29th. Students should be sure to have water bottles and sunscreen. We are looking forward to a great event & hope to see many of you there!!
If you do plan to pick your student up early from the Track & Field Day, please call our school secretary by 3:30pm on Tuesday, May 28th, so that we can account for your child's attendance and dismissal. We will not release any students from the HS Track unless the school has been notified in advance. Thank You!

As our school year winds down, our Lost & Found collection still grows. Please take a moment to look over the items in our collection and if you see something familiar, tell your student to stop by to pick it up and/or contact their classroom teacher to enlist their help in getting items brought home. Any items still remaining after our last day will be donated. Thanks!
