Today, our Junior High counseling team executed our first annual "BeeBop Back-to-School Caravan." They received gift card donations from Bar Harbor Bank and Trust @bhbtsocial and fresh muffins from @wildoatsbakery. They made goodie bags for approximately 20 students who struggled with attendance last year and hit the road. They took a bus, played music, and dropped in on some kiddos (we told them we were coming through RMT). #teambrunswickme @countmeinmaine @brunswickme #mainelovespublicschools

Superintendent’s Notebook: New school year, new home for the Brunswick School Department Where did summer go? It seems like only yesterday we were congratulating our 2024 graduating class, and now we’re preparing to welcome students for the 2024–2025 school year. The beginning of a school year is an exciting time. Many students are experiencing a first — first day in pre-K, elementary school, junior high or high school. For some, it may be the first day in the Brunswick school system. Here at the Brunswick School Department, we are experiencing a first as well. Our Central Office has moved into the former site of the Coffin School, and I think visitors will be pleased with the new location.
