2nd graders reading independently

As we begin our second week of school, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and partnership. It has been wonderful to see all the happy faces entering our building, ready to embark on a new year filled with learning and growth.

At Cardinal Elementary, we are committed to fostering an environment where students and staff can thrive. We engage in meaningful learning experiences, encouraging everyone to lead their own growth, discover their passions, and strive for high achievement. By focusing on what we can control—our actions, efforts, and attitudes—we are equipped to overcome challenges and contribute positively to our community.

Additionally, I am pleased to share that our weekly news report will begin the week of September 15th. This report will keep everyone updated on the week's happenings and celebrate the many great things occurring at Cardinal Elementary. Check your ROOMS Live Feed and/or Maquoketa Facebook page to view the CWNK news weekly!

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with any concerns or questions regarding your child's education. You can reach me directly at (563) 652-5157 (ext. 1203).

We look forward to an amazing year filled with multiple celebrations at Cardinal Elementary!
