Greetings, 
Welcome to the 2011-2012 School year!  Sageville Elementary serves students from Preschool to Fifth Grade.

Our school will continue to build great relationships with students, families, and our great Dubuque city this year!  Sageville will  focus on student achievement in math and reading while maintaining a positive school culture and climate.  We want to assure you that we will do our best for your child to experience academic, social, physical and emotional growth.  These are just a few things which compliment a challenging and engaging curriculum at Sageville School.

With these all in place, we will ensure success for each and every child at Sageville.  It’s your responsibility as a parent to keep in touch with us so that we know we are meeting your child’s needs.  A powerful connection between home and school can’t be beat.  We offer many regularly scheduled ways for you to know how your child is doing, but please contact us anytime you feel is necessary. 

For your student,
Miss Jean McDonald
Miss Mac
