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.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The Bangor School Department takes a stand against sexual assault and domestic violence.
This and every month, through prevention, education, mandatory staff trainings and policies, the Bangor School Department works hard to support survivors of sexual assault and prevent all forms of violence.
If you or someone you know would benefit from local education and resources, we encourage you to explore The Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault’s (MECASA) website: https://www.mecasa.org/
Students, parents and staff can report any concerns surrounding sexual assault to a building administrator, The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Coordinator or through the Bangor App.
Holi marks the arrival of spring in India, Nepal, and other South Asian countries. It celebrates the divine love between the Hindu god Krishna and his consort Radha and signifies a time of rebirth and rejuvenation, embracing the positive and letting go of negative energy.
Holy week Is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter that encompasses the three most sacred days in the Christian church calendar. It begins at sundown on Holy Thursday, (also known as Maundy Thursday, observed in commemoration of Jesus Christ's institution of the Eucharist during the Last Supper) reaches a high point at the Easter Vigil, and concludes with evening prayer at sundown on Easter Sunday.
Easter is the oldest Christian holiday and the most important feast of the ecclesiastical year, held on the first Sunday that follows the first full moon of the Spring Equinox. The date therefore changes each year and falls on any day between March 22 and April 25. Easter has deep significance for Christians and represents rebirth and renewal.
Happy Easter!

Good morning this is James Tager, Superintendent of the Bangor School Department.
Due to current road conditions, the Bangor School Department will have a two-hour delay for all schools March 21, 2024. This delay will help to ensure the safety of our students and staff during the morning commute.
I received this poem from one of our international students:
Snow! Snow! Snow!
As it floats down
And fills the ground.
I turn happy
It’s pretty
And all white!
How beautiful is the earth covered in a white blanket?
It mesmerizes me!
Snow! Snow! Snow!
I love snow!
There are no after school activities or late buses tomorrow (THURSDAY) at Cohen due to a teacher meeting. All students will be dismissed at 2:30pm.

Friday, March 15, 2024, is a Teacher in-Service Day. All students, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln School, will have a day off from school. Abraham Lincoln School students will have a remote learning day. Abraham Lincoln School was canceled on February 13 due to a water main break. This was an unexpected cancellation. The school is required by the State of Maine Department of Education to make up for the canceled day.
Due to a fire off Ohio St. many buses will have to reroute due to the road being closed. Buses all over the city may be running behind getting students home today due to the bus garage being impacted.
