The Music on the Move squad from the Middle School 'moved' the staff of HyVee Fresh on Wednesday by performing some upbeat music for them and their customers. Thank you to Jim Armbrecht for all you do to support our schools!
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.
6th grade Social Studies classes held an Ancient Maya Culture Fair today after school. Students researched a topic. They wrote paragraphs about the claim, evidence, and reasoning. Then they created a slideshow, tri-fold board, and a craft or activity for guests. They did a great job!

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.

The 8th grade Sprint Medley team of Millie Wing, Jensyn Johnson, Ryley Galloway and Natalie Hackman broke their own record from earleir in the season tonight at the RVC North Conference Meet at Northeast with a time of 2:03.15. They also broke the RVC North girls conference record held by Cascade that was set in 2016. The previous record was 2:08.78. Way to go, ladies!
Thank you to all that came out and enjoyed our middle school band concert this evening. They made beautiful music!
Great day for 7th grade to take their learning outside to Lakehurst Dam, here in Maquoketa, Ia. We participated in 5 different learning outdoor classrooms! Thank you to all the volunteers, MMS staff, the Hurstville Interpretive Center, and World Renewable Energy! Great day!
