The Dubuque Community School District will host two upcoming community information sessions for those interested in learning more about the district’s facility planning work.
The sessions will be held on Wednesday, April 16, and Monday, April 28, at 6 p.m. at the district offices, 2300 Chaney Road.
The meeting will feature a recap the district’s facility planning work, led by INVISION Architecture and informed by a community facility planning taskforce. The session will recap the taskforce’s work to review previous and new facility efficiency scenarios, look at results of a community survey regarding facility planning, and discuss potential funding mechanisms to support any future projects.
In particular, the planning team has reviewed and updated options for middle school consolidation to move the district from three to two middle schools. This consolidation was previously and continues to be identified as the option creating the greatest financial efficiencies while ensuring equivalent middle school facilities for all students.

On Monday, Dec. 11, 2023, the Dubuque Community School District Board of Education approved the school calendars for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of each school, Jefferson Middle School and Washington Middle School will host community open houses on Sunday, Oct. 1, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at each school. The community is invited to attend.
During the open houses, community members will have the chance to tour areas of the school, interact with student representatives and school staff, and view historical memorabilia. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to sign a commemorative item recognizing the anniversary.
In 1921, the Dubuque Community School District Board of Education called for construction of two new junior high schools – ultimately becoming Washington and Jefferson. The schools were both constructed during 1922 and opened in 1923.
Today, Jefferson serves approximately 460 students and Washington serves approximately 630 students, all in grades six through eight.
