Set in the 1930s, EPIC PROPORTIONS is the hilarious story of two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in the huge Biblical epic Exeunt Omnes. Things move very quickly in this riotous comedy and before you know it, Phil is directing the movie, and Benny is starring in it. To complicate matters further they both fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of the extras. Along the way there are gladiator battles, the Ten Plagues and a cast of thousands portrayed by four other actors

Ram Fam:

Over the past few weeks, we have had countless meetings (some in person, many through Zoom) on how to safely and effectively open up for learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the Dubuque Community School District has opted for HYBRID learning. At the same time, approximately 23% of the student body is learning from home, VIRTUALLY. On any given day, approximately 600-650 students are in the building (compared to around 1600 pre-Covid).

As a result of the learning options, in addition to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL the Fall 2020 Homecoming activities. The pandemic requires that NO large group assemblies can take place, and other traditional events during Homecoming (such as a dance, hall of fame ceremonies, and parades) are subject to very limited attendance.

Given all considerations surrounding the pandemic, we felt the best course of action at this time is the cancellation of the Fall 2020 Homecoming activities. We look forward to a time in which we are able to gather again, without limitations, to honor our Hall of Fame inductee

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Dear Senior High School Parents:

One of the best ways parents can help students succeed in school is to participate regularly in conferences with teachers. Please accept this invitation to attend conferences with your student to discuss your child’s progress with his/her teachers. When parents, students and teachers work together, we can assist each other in providing a positive experience for your son or daughter.

This year we will be offering two unique opportunities for conferences with teachers.
Tuesday, October 9th (evening) – teachers will be in the Nora Gym & Cafeteria to meet individually with parents and students. These are not scheduled and conferences should be limited to a maximum of 5 to 7 minutes.

Thursday, October 18th (morning) – schedule a group conference where you can meet with all of your student’s teachers at one time. These will be scheduled in a 20 minute time slot.

The schedule for these three opportunities is:
Tuesday, October 9th      3:00 p.m. – 7:00p.m. Nora Gym & Cafeteria
Tuesday, October 16th    3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Nora Gym & Cafeteria
Thursday, October 18th  7:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Scheduled in classrooms
