Dear Briggs Elementary Families and Staff,
We are aware of a statement recently shared on social media about a potential threat to Briggs Elementary. After a thorough investigation by our School Resource Officer and Maquoketa CSD administration, we have determined there is no viable threat to our students or staff.
Because the investigation quickly confirmed that there was no credible threat, we were able to safely continue regular learning activities throughout the day. Students and staff remained in the building and dismissal occurred as normal using our routine process.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority. We take all reports and concerns seriously, carefully ensuring that accurate information guides our decisions.
Thank you to our School Resource Officer and school administration for their prompt, thorough investigation and continued dedication to keeping our school community safe.
Sincerely,
Tara Notz , Superintendent & James Tenney, School Resource Officer
