Epworth Elementary School
COVID-19 Week 9 Update
Principal's Message
Dear Families,
Thank you for coming to school to pick up your child's belongings. This was definitely an emotional experience for all of us and we certainly appreciate your support. First, second, third, and fourth grade families: you will notice an Everyday Mathematics summer skills book included in your bag of materials. These were purchased by the Western Dubuque Community School District for each student in these grade levels. The bulk of this material will be skills that were taught in the first seven months of the school year. This is an excellent resource to maintain skills over the summer.
As this school closure has continued, we have made a concerted effort to stay connected with all of you. Our school counselor, Mrs. Elsinger, will continue this trend by offering a virtual bingo opportunity through Zoom for all kids that are interested. This event will take place on Thursday, May 21 at 7:00. Simply click the link here to join. Additional details of this event can be found in the section below this message.
There have been questions that have come my way related to yearbooks. Our photography company has been shut down during the school closure limiting their ability to process orders. It is more than likely that we will not have these yearbooks until we arrive back to school in August. We have record of all orders and payments. We will keep you posted if more information is shared with us. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or whenever you feel necessary. The best way to reach me is dan.butler@wdbqschools.org. Thank you for all that you do to support Epworth Elementary and the Western Dubuque School District. If we stay connected to each other as much as possible during these challenging times, we are going to be OK. Take care of yourselves and your families.
Yours in education,
Dan Butler
Epworth Elementary Principal
