Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Joke of the Week
Gunnar Stoltenberg is doing a great job of sharpening his saw. He makes healthy choices for himself and takes care of his body. Also worth mentioning, he is a very kind and caring friend. He uses respectful words and actions at school. Good job, Gunnar!
Ja'Zayvion Haddock is a great leader in our classroom and shows that helping others and working together is the best way to have a good day in school.
Due to the potential for severe storms this afternoon, we will implement a 12:30 early out dismissal today (one hour earlier than our normal Friday dismissal schedule) to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Based on information from the National Weather Service, there is concern that storms may impact our area this afternoon. Our goal is to ensure that students and staff are safe and not in transit during any severe weather.
Today’s dismissal will be one hour earlier than our typical Friday early out schedule. For example, if your student is picked up at 1:10 PM on Fridays, today their pick-up time will be 12:10 PM. If they are normally dropped off by the bus at 2:00 they will be dropped off at 1:00.
There will be no after school practices or activities today, Friday, April 17th.
We recognize that the exact timing of storms can be unpredictable; however, we always strive to err on the side of caution when it comes to the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support in helping us prioritize the care and safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Tara Notz
Superintendent
Maquoketa Community School District
Gracelyn Burton does a great job playing cooperatively with friends, helping others in need, sharing and listening to friends. She loves to build in her free time.
Sara Ramos is working to be the very best she can be by making sure she understands what she needs to accomplish and trying her very best. She is learning a lot about herself! Keep it up Sara!
Brantley Rasdon does an amazing job following habit #7: Sharpen the Saw at school and at home. At school he loves to build and create. At home he tends to the garden and helps care for the chickens. He really knows how to "sharpen the saw."
