Dear Maquoketa CSD Families,
With the feedback many families provided from our virtual learning day survey along with staff feedback, a district committee has been working on creating a virtual learning plan to use for inclement weather days once we have used our “extra” hours within our calendar and after adding one in-person day to the end of the school year. This means that if we get to a point where we are not meeting our 1,080 required school hours (four total snow days or a combination of full snow days and early outs/late starts), we will begin using virtual learning days. Following, Friday, January 12th, we will have the ability to have one more snow day and then we will transition to virtual learning. We will continue to gather feedback if we do use a virtual day so we can keep improving this process and support all students. The information in the tables below outline the general guidelines for these days.

*Communicate with teachers via email or through Rooms. Rooms is available through our Maquoketa CSD app. You are able to “text” the teachers through Rooms as well as receive any announcements teachers share with families. Directions to access Rooms is available on the homepage of our website.
* There will not be a specific time that students need to log-in or join a Zoom lesson. All assignments/lessons may be completed at the time that’s most convenient for your student/family.
* If you need a hotspot to access the internet please reach out to Central Office at 563-652-4984.
Thank You for your understanding and feedback as we work through this new process together.
Tara Notz, Superintendent and the Calendar Committee
