Did you know? Maine law requires drivers to stop for a school bus with red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Taking a few extra moments to stop helps protect students as they board and exit the bus. Let's all do our part to keep children safe. #BusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst

Slow down in school zones! Reduced speed limits help protect students walking, biking, and getting on and off buses. A few extra seconds can save a life. Stay alert, obey posted speeds, and help keep Bangor students safe. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

School bus safety doesn't end when the bus stops. Students may need to cross the street and can be difficult to see, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully whenever you're near a school bus. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Students can help make their ride safer by arriving at the bus stop early, staying out of the roadway, and waiting calmly for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching. Safe habits at the bus stop help everyone start the day right. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Leading up to Bus Safety Week, students across the Bangor School Department have been participating in bus safety drills to help ensure they know how to stay safe while riding the bus each day.

These important exercises give students the opportunity to practice safe boarding and exiting procedures, emergency evacuation protocols, and proper behavior while on the bus. The Cyr Bus team works hard to make student safety a top priority, and these drills help reinforce the skills and confidence students need in the event of an emergency.

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible custodians who do so much more than keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming.

Our custodial staff are often among the first to arrive and the last to leave, but their impact reaches far beyond maintaining our buildings. They build relationships with students, lend a helping hand when needed, and bring joy to our school communities in countless ways. Whether they're joining in on spirit weeks, participating in theme days, or stepping into a mascot costume to make students smile, they help create the positive and caring school culture that makes Bangor schools special.

Thank you for the pride you take in your work, your dedication to our students and staff, and the kindness you bring to our schools every day. Your contributions make a difference in ways both seen and unseen.

Please join us in thanking our amazing custodial team for all they do!

We appreciate you today and every day.

It was wonderful to see so many families, students, staff, and community members come together to celebrate this exciting addition to our school. Our students are absolutely loving the new playground, and their smiles and excitement made the evening even more special.

Families also enjoyed participating in the literacy scavenger hunt, where students earned tokens to choose a book from our book vending machine.

What do you get when a unicorn, a fox, and Sam the Ram show up at school before the first bell?

A magical Fairmount welcome, of course!

Students arriving at Fairmount School this morning were greeted by a special trio ready to start the day with smiles, waves, high-fives, and plenty of school spirit. Sam the Ram teamed up with a friendly and familiar-looking unicorn and fox to make sure every student felt excited and welcomed as they entered the building.

From surprised looks to lots of laughs, the morning arrival was full of energy and fun. Thank you to our amazing staff members for helping create a positive start to the day and reminding students that Fairmount on Broadway is a place where everyone belongs!

Dear Bangor School Department Families, Staff, and Community Members,

As part of our ongoing facilities planning process, the Strategic Planning Committee is seeking feedback from our community as we work to evaluate the current and future needs of our schools.

During recent community listening sessions, we presented information about the challenges and opportunities facing our school facilities. We encourage everyone to review the presentation, which can be accessed here:

Listening Session Presentation: https://aptg.co/lB7VQQ

Within the presentation, you will find both a direct link and a QR code that will take you to a community survey. We value your perspective and encourage you to take a few moments to share your thoughts. Your feedback is an important part of this process and will help inform the committee's recommendations as we plan for the future of Bangor's schools.

The survey will remain open through September 10, 2026. We encourage you to participate before the deadline to ensure your voice is included in this important community conversation.

Thank you for your continued support of the Bangor School Department.
