Due to the late game time and anticipated late return for students, staff, and bus drivers, Maquoketa CSD will operate on a two-hour late start on Tuesday, March 3rd.
To support our team, the district will begin by providing two pep buses for high school students based on student interest. Buses will depart from the high school at 4:40 p.m. on March 2nd. Students must sign up in the high school office by lunchtime on Friday to reserve a seat. High school administrators will notify any students who are not eligible to attend. The buses are only for HS students and not MS students.
The cost of game admission will be covered as part of the trip. Students should bring money for food. Please note that Casey’s Center is a cashless facility, so debit/credit cards or other electronic payment methods will be required for purchases.
We anticipate returning to Maquoketa very late Monday evening. If your student does not have transportation home after we return, please be prepared to pick them up at the high school. All students attending must follow district behavior expectations and adhere to the student handbook while representing Maquoketa on this trip.
We are proud of our student-athletes and look forward to a strong showing of Cardinal support in Des Moines. Go Cardinals!
Thank you for being part of our school community. If you have a child who will be starting Kindergarten in the 2026–2027 school year or are interested in learning more about our Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten programs, please take a moment to review the attached flyer with details about Kindergarten Round‑Up.
We are excited to welcome your child as they begin this important learning journey. Kindergarten Round‑Up is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff, learn about the program, and get answers to any questions you may have.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We look forward to seeing you and your family soon.
