Attention 8th Grade Families
Next week on Wednesday, March 20th our 8th graders will have their Spring Portraits taken by Lifetouch. These are the photos that will appear in their Certificates of Completion at the end of the year. We always encourage the 8th graders to dress nice for this one...this does not mean FORMAL per se, but a plain colored shirt versus a big graphic will photograph nicer😀. **These photos are scheduled at the beginning of the year so we didn't anticipate Spirit Week at the that time. They can always bring an extra shirt for their portrait OR throw on a sports team hoodie/shirt over their portrait clothes so they still feel like they are participating!**
You may pre-order online with the info in this flyer OR next week, 8th graders will be given a paper order form that you may put cash or check in and send with your student with on the day of.

Student Water Bottles
Parents & Guardians - We kindly ask that you remind your student in the mornings to please bring their own water bottles to school. We cannot supply water bottles at the school, but we do have refill stations. Thank you for helping us with this effort!
📵 Cell Phone Use Reminder 📵
Hi Parents. As you may already know, Briggs Middle School operates on a strict "no cell phone" policy during the hours of the school day (8:15-3:05). Teachers have recently noted that cell phones are becoming a problem again for many students and oftentimes, students are reporting that it is their parents contacting them via text or call during their classes. We kindly ask that you help us set a good example and uphold our "no cell phone" policy during school hours by contacting the main office if you need your student to call you or you need to get a message to them. We are here and happy to serve you and your children! We hope to create a distraction-free learning environment whenever possible. Thank you for your consideration!
Student ID Cards for Purchase
Student Body ID Cards have arrived! They are $7 and your student can purchase them in the office during their lunch or after school with cash or check (checks to be made out to Briggs Middle School). They can also be purchased online with credit or debit card here (or scan the QR code to the right with your phone camera). If you do not have a My School Bucks account there is an option to "checkout as a guest". Our office manager will get an email once a purchase is made and will give your student their ID card!
