The Brunswick School Department hopes you had a great Thanksgiving.
Please remember that those who travelled outside of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont must quarantine for 14 days from the date of their return to the state or demonstrate that they have a negative COVID-19 test taken since they returned to the state. Students or staff members who travelled outside of those three states must bring a copy of negative results when they return to school or stay home until the 14 day quarantine period has ended.
Thank you for supporting efforts to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment in our schools.
