Maquoketa Families,
We have a full day of school tomorrow, Wednesday, May 29th in order to ensure we meet our school hour requirement for the year. The last day of school is Thursday, May 30th. This is also a full day of school.
Just a reminder that our Track & Field Day was postponed to Wednesday, May 29th. Students should be sure to have water bottles and sunscreen. We are looking forward to a great event & hope to see many of you there!!
If you do plan to pick your student up early from the Track & Field Day, please call our school secretary by 3:30pm on Tuesday, May 28th, so that we can account for your child's attendance and dismissal. We will not release any students from the HS Track unless the school has been notified in advance. Thank You!
As our school year winds down, our Lost & Found collection still grows. Please take a moment to look over the items in our collection and if you see something familiar, tell your student to stop by to pick it up and/or contact their classroom teacher to enlist their help in getting items brought home. Any items still remaining after our last day will be donated. Thanks!

Students are resuming their normal schedule. Thank you to our bus drivers, and all staff for keeping kids safe and calm.
Maquoketa Families,
We are implementing all of our tornado protocols until the tornado warning passes. If your student has not been picked up on the bus we will wait until after the storm passes.
We will be postponing our Briggs Track & Field Day until Wednesday, May 29th due to impending weather. Thanks for understanding!
Maquoketa Families,
I hope you are all safe after the storm. We will have school as normal today. If you need staff to be aware of any situation regarding your student and effects of the storm (ex. damage at your home), please reach out to your child's teacher or principal.
Maquoketa Families,
All after school events/games will be cancelled for this evening, Tuesday, May 21st due to the potential of severe weather. The After School Program at Briggs will also be cancelled for tonight. Thank You.
Mrs. Ackley, Instructional Coach, and Mrs. Steffen, School Counselor, attended the University of Northern Iowa's Social & Emotional Learning Conference in April. At Wednesday's professional development, they shared with the Briggs staff the importance practicing self-care and finding joy in your every day. As an exit ticket, teachers were invited to write down something that gave them joy that day. Thank you to both building leaders for sharing your learning with us!!
