Eagle Update

August 21, 2026

 

Principal's Newsletter


Week 2 is in the books, and our Eagles are doing an outstanding job! 

I would like to invite all families to Open House on September 3 from 5:00-7:00 PM. Come experience what your child navigates each day by following their schedule and making it to class within the 4-minute passing periods. Classes will begin promptly at 5:30 PM, and we've provided a schedule for you to carry throughout the evening, just like our students do. 

Congratulations to our 7th and 8th grade students who earned a spot on the volleyball team. I had the opportunity to meet with them this morning, and I am excited to see them compete this season. Football season is also in full swing, and our Eagles are off to a great start. 

Don't forget to purchase your Briscoe spirit wear and help us fill the stands with Eagle pride all year long. Your support makes a difference for our students and programs. 

Finally, a reminder about our campus technology expectations. Apple Watches are considered personal technology and are not permitted during the school day. We also ask students to make good choices when a substitute is in the classroom. Expectations do not change when a guest teacher is present. Let's continue doing the right thing and keep phones put away and out of sight so that learning remains the focus. 

Have a fabulous weekend!
