Hello, Cohen Cross Country practice has been cancelled for today. I apologize for the late notice. Thank you, Stephen Urli Athletic Director

We're grateful for the dedicated school bus drivers who safely transport our students every day. Their commitment, training, and care help ensure thousands of safe trips throughout the school year. Be sure to thank a bus driver this week! #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Tonight, we celebrate our 8th grade athletes as they take the field for their final home games of the season in field hockey, boys soccer, and girls soccer!

These student-athletes have represented their schools with dedication, perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout their middle school careers. Their leadership has helped build strong teams, lasting friendships, and memories that will stay with them for years to come.

A special thank you goes out to the families who have supported these athletes every step of the way. From after school practices and game-day rides to cheering from the sidelines through every challenge and success, your encouragement, sacrifice, and unwavering support have helped make these moments possible.

Congratulations to our 8th graders on this special milestone. We are proud of all you have accomplished and grateful for the positive impact you have made on your teams and school communities. Enjoy your final home games, and best of luck in the exciting journeys that lie ahead! #WeAreBangor

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

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.

Hello William S. Cohen Families,

Winter Sports will be starting up in just a few weeks! There will be a winter sports student informational meeting after school on Monday, 10/26. Cheer tryouts will start on November 2nd. Basketball tryouts will start on November 9th.

Information for completing the Sway Impact testing, which athletes must complete each school year, and information for submitting a physical are attached to this message. The physical is good for all three years at Cohen, so if you have already submitted one, you do not have to do it again. Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind your athletes that they must pass their first quarter classes in order to be eligible to participate in a winter sport.

If you have not yet signed your student up for a winter sport, you can do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1kNI2WpmwdLZxGt6a0dv_5ns-98PI8CcIGTbTskphAoUGPQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=110296533914362796658

Your student will also have the opportunity to sign up in person at the informational meeting. Please reach out to surli@bangorschools.net with any questions.

Thank you,
Stephen Urli

The William S. Cohen School Rocket Club has again blasted off into action! For many years Mr. Bilancia has offered this experience to our students. This year the club is meeting for four sessions on Tuesday afternoons. Students in the Rocket Club learn the basics of model rocketry, prepare their rockets for flights and enjoy going outside to watch their rockets fly to the sky! We are pleased to offer this experience to Cohen students again this year! #WeAreBangor

The 3D Printing Club, led by Ms. Sciarappa, was one of the clubs offered to students this month at Cohen. Students in the club have been working on a philanthropic school-based project for the past month. Students used the engineer and design process to generate a useful object they can give to one of their teachers. #WeAreBangor
