Hello Cardinal Families,
We are excited to welcome back our Cardinal students tomorrow! We hope you had a great holiday break. The temperature seems to have moved more toward winter weather and we will want to make sure students are well dressed for the outdoors when it comes to recess time. Please send hats and gloves along with a winter coat. If you are in need of any of these items, please reach out to us and we can help!
This week we are looking forward to our Copper Cardinal Night on Thursday, November 30th! Please see the attached flyer with more information.
Have a great week!
Sara Bennis
Cardinal Elementary Principal

Maquoketa CSD is excited to announce the launch of our new website. The goal of the site is to provide timely, professional and systematic communication that celebrates our students, staff and families. Families will receive information on social media and via email by Friday, November 10th about how they can access our new district app and "Rooms", our two way communication platform between families and teachers.


High School Students who achieved honors accomplishments during fall sports and music were celebrated by our elementary students. Congratulations to Chloe Leon for All-State Choir, Mia Reicks, Ainsley Munson and Abby Taliaferro for All-State Band and Izzy Hardin for State XC.







Mrs. Dostal's class read "How Spider Saved Halloween" and then watched a Mystery Doug episode about spiders. We learned about which spider is the biggest and made our own spiders crawl to the fly (ruler). The students loved this and learned so much!




Students in Mrs. Barton's preschool room today were singing and learning new words about fall and Halloween fun!
