After researching and creating their own newspaper articles detailing major historical events and their impact, students participated in an interactive Gallery Walk today.
Working with partners, students explored their peers' work, discovered fascinating historical facts, made connections to their current learning, and reflected on the moments in history that impacted them the most.
🌟 Huge shout-out to Mrs. Felderman for creating such a creative and hands-on learning experience, and a big shout-out to our MHS students for diving in with high energy, thoughtful insights, and fantastic engagement! 👏✨

Dear Maquoketa Families,
We invite you to attend our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 14th and Thursday, October 15th, both from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Conferences provide a vital opportunity to partner with your child’s teachers, celebrate their growth, and discuss how we can best support their learning journey.
Based on valuable survey feedback from our families and staff, we have made key updates to our conference process this fall to better serve our school community. To reduce wait times and provide greater privacy during discussions, all school buildings will now utilize individual scheduled appointments for both conference days, moving away from an open-house format at the secondary level.
At both Cardinal and Briggs Elementaries, we encourage in-person conferences to foster strong early connections between families and the school. You can schedule these through Meet the Teacher and will then attend your student’s classroom for a face to face conference on your scheduled date and time. If you would prefer a virtual option, please communicate this with your child’s teacher.
For Middle School and High School conferences, the schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, October 14th: Virtual conferences only (held via scheduled Meet the Teacher appointments).
Thursday, October 15th: In-person conferences only (held via scheduled Meet the Teacher appointments).
Conferences will be held in teacher’s classrooms on Thursday. To keep our schedule running smoothly
and accommodate all families, individual conferences will be limited to 10 minutes.
Help will be available throughout the building to assist with locating classrooms.
To schedule conferences for your child, please visit https://maquoketaschools.schoolcloud.co.uk/. You will need your student’s legal name(s) used in Infinite Campus and date(s) of birth. The Parents’ Guide for Booking Appointments provides step by step instructions.
If you experience any difficulties scheduling your conferences, please contact your child’s school office for assistance. They will be happy to help secure your appointments.
We look forward to collaborating with you to support your student’s growth and success!
Sincerely,
Maquoketa Administration
