Please join us for an evening of learning and building connections across our schools. In all of the Bangor School Department’s schools and programs, we seek to provide all students with a quality education and prepare them to succeed as citizens of a global community. To achieve this goal, we want to ensure that our practices adapt to and resonate with the ever-evolving students and families that we serve for international, naturalized and American members of our community. This event will feature leading advocates, experts and educators to explore how our schools and the greater community can best support immigrants and refugees who have made Maine home. Attendees will hear from the panel, have the opportunity to ask questions, and socialize at the end of the event.
SUN Bucks provide a $120 EBT benefit for each child who qualifies to spend on groceries while school is out. Most eligible kids will be automatically enrolled in the program and don’t have to apply. Families should keep an eye out for a letter in the mail with notice of automatic enrollment. For more information go to https://www.bangorschools.net/page/sun-bucks
