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.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Beyond the Bell Podcast! In this episode we explore how student attendance is about much more than showing up to school. Attendance is deeply connected to a student's sense of belonging, engagement, and purpose. Joined by Sarah Nelson, Student Engagement and Attendance Specialist with the Maine Department of Education, we discuss how families, educators, and communities can work together to remove barriers, strengthen relationships, and create learning environments where every student feels connected and supported. From building positive attendance habits in the early grades to helping older students find relevance and purpose in their learning, this conversation highlights practical strategies and shared responsibilities that help students succeed.

Please note that the intersection of 5th Street and Pier Street in Bangor is now a 4-way stop.

As students return to school tomorrow, we encourage all drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to use extra caution in this area. Please watch for children walking to and from school, obey all traffic signs, and allow extra time for your commute.

Thank you for helping keep our students, families, and community safe!

As students head back to school, don’t forget about a valuable resource right on campus: PCHC’s School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs)!
Whether your student needs a physical, has an illness or injury, needs support with an ongoing health concern, or could use someone to talk to, the SBHC team is here to help throughout the school year.
What can students access through the SBHC?
✔️ Annual & sports physicals
✔️ Immunizations
✔️ Care for illnesses and injuries
✔️ Chronic disease management
✔️ Mental health
✔️ Health education & referrals
📍 Bangor – 207-404-8247

FAQ: Who can use the SBHC?
SBHC services are available to students, faculty, and staff of the Bangor, Brewer, and RSU 34 School Departments. Students must be enrolled in the SBHC to receive services.
💡 Good to know: Your student can still be seen at the SBHC even if they are too sick to attend school.
Starting a new school year can come with a lot of changes. Having access to health care where students learn can make things a little easier for students and families.
Learn more at www.PCHC.com or contact your school-based health center with questions.
