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.

The Cohen Merch Store is Back! Please see the attached flyer for more information.

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.
