Good evening;
As a result of the active shooter events currently ongoing in Lewiston and the unknown impact this will have on our Students, Staff, and Brunswick Families, the decision has been made to close schools tomorrow, 10/26/23. We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as they become available.
Sincerely,
Superintendent Potenziano

Don't forget to update your PowerSchool enrollment forms! If you need assistance, email our tech team: powerschoolhelp@brunswicksd.org or call #207-319-1990
We are pleased to share that we have a new way to update all the required information that the school asks for each year! This entire process is now paperless and it happens in Powerschool. You will no longer receive the large packet of papers on the first day of school! We are starting this new process early in hopes to get student information current before school starts.

Good Morning:
Please be aware that there have been multiple reports of violent intruders in Maine high schools this morning. Based on law enforcement investigations, no reports have been confirmed and these appear to be hoaxes.
Brunswick schools have dynamic and comprehensive safety and security protocols and ALL exterior doors are locked throughout the day.
We are closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as they are warranted.
Thank you.
Shawn Lambert,
Assistant Superintendent

On Wednesday, May 4 students from BJH attended the District 3 MMEA Honors Band and Chorus festival in Freeport. Students were chosen for this festival through audition. Their high level of musicianship as well as their hard work and dedication was very evident at this festival. Way to go BJH musicians! We are proud of you!
On Wednesday, April 27 BJH Chorus students were treated to a workshop from Opera Maine. They came to teach about the storytelling, staging, and of course singing of Opera. Students were then provided an opportunity to join in and to experience Opera in Maine this summer with free tickets to the Opera. For more information, feel free to contact Mrs. Tarleton! Thank you Opera Maine and BJH chorus students for a fantastic afternoon!
