Welcome to UD for Kids 2009!

Dear 2009 Session I UD for Kids Families,

Thank you again for your understanding of our "Snow Day in June" at the University of Dubuque last Friday, June 19^th.  UD Campus was shut down at 10:30 due to a power failure sustained during the storm that swept through our area.  As was reported in Saturday's Telegraph Herald, this was the first time I have experienced a cancelled UD Kids day.  However, according to Madame Klingler, veteran UD Kids teacher, UD Kids had NEVER been cancelled before!  So, this group of students made history!  J

First, we are extending a discount on your summer 2010 UD Kids registration.  Please watch for an email in early March prior to next year's registration.  This message will detail the discount amount and directions for registration.  Please remember, you are automatically invited back to UD for Kids next summer!

Second, some of our instructors are planning to incorporate our June 19^th Snow Day if possible in either this week's or Session III classes.  Please note the plans below:

• May It Please the Court-invited to June 26^th 2:30-4:00 class to act as jurors for this week's court case.

ALL students planning on attending these make-up days MUST email me at cwerner@dbq.edu in order for the UD Kids Faculty to plan accordingly.

Third, some of our instructors have planned for students to pick up their work projects.  Please note the list below:
