Eagle Update

September 4, 2026

 

Principal's Newsletter

Open House was incredible, and it was exciting to see our campus filled with families. 

Our band and cheerleaders represented Briscoe with excellence, and the talent of our students continues to impress me every day. 

This week was also special as we celebrated 25 years of Briscoe Junior High. We were honored to welcome former principals, teachers, and counselors back to campus to celebrate our history and traditions. 

Our volleyball teams had a great showing against Reading, and our student section proved once again that we have some of the most spirited fans around. We are looking forward to football and cross country starting their seasons soon! 

Don't forget, the end of the six weeks is approaching quickly. Let's stay focused and finish strong together! Have a safe and relaxing three-day weekend.

Positive Behavior and Supports (PBIS)

This year, Briscoe Junior High is strengthening our commitment to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a proactive approach that teaches, recognizes, and reinforces positive student behavior. At the center of our PBIS efforts is the Briscoe Way, which outlines the expectations and values we want all students to demonstrate each day.

To support this initiative, we will be using the Minga app to recognize and reward students who consistently demonstrate the Briscoe Way. Staff members will be able to award points to students for positive behaviors, and students can redeem those points for items and incentives in our school store. Students are able to access the APP through Classlink.

We invite families to support this effort by donating items to our school store.

In addition, Minga will help us implement a Digital Hall Pass system. Students will use digital hallway passes whenever they leave the classroom. This tool will allow us to monitor student movement throughout the school, improve campus safety, and reduce lost instructional time by ensuring students are in class and learning as much as possible.
