Good evening this is James Tager, Superintendent of the Bangor School Department. A snow day whispers tales of endless play, A treasured pause in life's demanding way. With hearts aglow, we savor winter's art, And let the snowflakes etch upon our hearts. Due to the impending winter storm forecast for tomorrow for the Penobscot River Valley area I have decided to call a snow day for all Bangor School Department schools on April 4, 2024. All BSD student activities scheduled for Thursday are canceled. For the safety of everyone in the BSD community and to give families time to make plans for tomorrow, I feel that making a decision tonight is best. Be safe.
