May 13, 2022

Good afternoon this is James Tager Superintendent, Bangor School Department. The CDC has continued the Red (high risk) designation for Penobscot County. 

The Bangor School Department will continue the universal masking policy and provide its next update on May 20, 2022. 

I ask for continued cooperation from our school families to adhere to our protocols, wear your mask when in schools, continue to wash your hands often, physically distance, and practice healthy hygiene.  If your child has any symptoms and/or is feeling unwell, please keep your child home from school. At-home tests are easy and effective at identifying the virus. Please report all cases to your school nurse. The BSD has received at-home tests for all students, staff and faculty, and is coordinating a city wide distribution event to take place next week.  

Thank you for your continued support in maintaining in-person learning and end of year celebrations throughout the Bangor schools. 

Enthusiastically,

James Tager

Superintendent

Bangor School Department
