Community Action of Eastern Iowa is offering a wide range of services that many of our families need during this difficult time. These services include:

• Emergency Food Delivery
• Free diapers
• Assistance with rent, utility, water, and sewer bills

Families can apply for these services through a simple application at www.caeiowa.org. You will have the choice to have your items delivered to your doorstep or to pick the box up at the CAE Iowa office. This is free and available to anyone who needs it.

The District will be providing a third opportunity for the curbside pickup of ESSENTIAL ITEMS on Monday, April 27, and Tuesday, April 28 between 8 AM and 2 PM.ESSENTIAL ITEMS include the following: Medication, Chromebooks, and/or Instruments.

In order to schedule your appointment, please email your school's Principal. Appointments will be scheduled to follow all CDC guidelines to ensure no more than 10 people are picking up at any given time.

Pick-ups will be drive-up, and materials will be delivered to your vehicle. No one will be able to pick-up without a scheduled appointment with the Principal.

A time for picking up other items and for clearing out lockers will be established later in the year, pending further guidance from our elected officials concerning social distancing and the closure of facilities.

This morning, Governor Kim Reynolds ordered all Iowa schools to close for the remainder of the 2019 – 2020 school year. With this news, all Davenport Community School District schools will remain closed through the end of this school year.

As a District, we have been diligently planning multiple scenarios during this closure and can now focus our attention and energy squarely on today’s decision from the Governor’s Office.

We know that this closure brings up many questions, and we appreciate your patience as we outline next steps per the Governor and Iowa Department of Education's recommendations.

The DCSD team will be working hard this weekend to iron out the details of what this means for our students, teachers and families. We will send out a communication on Monday with a plan of what’s to come next.

Stay safe and healthy!
