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!!

Notice anything that looks familiar?
This is our Lost & Found table at Briggs.
If you spy something that belongs to your student, remind them to stop by & pick it up, or use Rooms to message their teacher to remind them to pick it up. Sometimes items are left by Cardinal kiddos who attend the After School Program so look closely!!
Any items left at the end of the school year will be donated.

Happy Wednesday! Just sending out a quick message to make parents/families aware the Maquoketa MMEU will be doing some utility work in Little Bear Park this afternoon that may interfere with end of day/pick-up plans you have arranged with your student. During the time that Maquoketa MMEU is in the park, it will be closed down/inaccessible due to safety reasons. If you are changing end of day/pick-up plans and wish to notify your student, please call the school secretary before 12:30pm so that we can get the message to your student. Thank you!
