What's New at Alta Vista Campus

To better inform our families about schedule changes, the Dubuque Community School District will begin offering text messaging for weather-related and emergency alerts from the district. The service is offered through School Messenger, the system the district currently uses for mass email messages and automated phone calls.

HERE’S HOW TO BE SURE YOU RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES:

• On TUESDAY, FEB. 21, between approximately 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. all phone numbers on file for families and staff will receive a text message asking them to opt in.
• If your phone has SMS or text messaging capability, you will receive the initial message.
• When you receive this text, REPLY “Yes” or “Y” to confirm that you’d like to continue receiving text messages.
• That’s it! You will then receive text messages for weather and emergency alerts.
• You can opt out of these text messages at any time by replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.

PLEASE NOTE: The district will only use text messages for weather-related or emergency purposes, not for general district information. Subscribers are responsible for any applicable text messaging charges from their carrier.

This gallery is a way to highlight the remarkable products of art education in the district. It’s a digital attempt at bringing the work of our student artists at all levels into your home – because art is created for others to take in.

On Saturday, September 10, the Alta Vista Campus School Garden was a stop for the Driftless Farm Crawl. Staff and students answered questions, planted raspberries for next year, and helped people interact with our hens.  It was a great experience for us, and moments were captured and shared in the District Update video:

Students are building robots today.

The Alta Vista Campus was fortunate to have been awarded funds from the DRA Grant to purchase new active learning furniture.  Students and staff alike are excited to have this unique classroom furniture.  Many thanks to the Dubuque Racing Association!

Students in Geometry class were given the challenge of creating the tallest possible structure that could withstand wind.  This first day activity produced some inventive structures as a result of students using their collaboration and problem-solving skills.
