The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. Due to severe weather conditions overnight, including downed trees and power lines, and multiple roads being inaccessible, we have determined that it is unsafe to open our schools today.
In consideration of everyone's safety, we've decided to close all schools on December 19, 2023. Students, families, faculty, and staff, please stay safe.
Enthusiastically yours,
James Tager
Superintendent
Due to the storm, there will be a 2-hour delay for the BSD on 12/19/23.
This delay will give us time to assess both our school facilities and road conditions.
Students, families, faculty, and staff, please stay safe and remain vigilant of your surroundings as you make your commute to school tomorrow.
Families and Staff of the Bangor School Department,
Today, there will be a normal dismissal for all students. However, in light of the high gusts of wind and water on road surfaces, we have decided to cancel all after-school activities. This decision has been made to ensure the safe travel of our students and staff..
We kindly ask that you take the necessary precautions when picking up your children, considering the weather conditions. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we prioritize the well-being of our school community.
We encourage our employees to leave work once their work day is completed. Be safe and be well.
James Tager
