Join the Conversation

This week Superintendent Potenziano launched Coffee with the BSD at the Brunswick Recreation Department. 

On behalf of the Brunswick School Department, I would like to invite you to stop by a future community conversation to share your thoughts about the education of our students. I plan to hold these monthly at various locations throughout Brunswick.

If you have an idea of where I should host a community event, please email me at ppotenziano@brunswicksd.org

Keeping Our Community Healthy

We are in the middle of a challenging season for staying healthy.  Influenza, RSV, COVID-19, and even old-fashioned colds seem to be everywhere.  Please take a moment to review these simple guidelines to help keep our community healthy:

1. Get vaccinated or boosted.  Flu shots and COVID boosters are available at many medical facilities and pharmacies.

1. Stay home if you are sick.  A person with a fever of 100 degrees or above with either cough or sore throat, should remain at home until they are fever-free for a full 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

1. Practice good hygiene.  Wash hands frequently with soap and water, especially after coughing and sneezing. Alcohol-based hand gels can also be used.  Cough and sneeze into your elbow or into a tissue and throw the tissue away.  Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes.

1. Consult your medical provider.  Individuals with risk factors for severe disease (e.g., chronic illness, pregnancy) or those with uncontrolled cough, difficulty breathing, or persistent fever, should talk to their provider for additional guidance and/or to consider whether antiviral medication is warranted.

1. Follow CDC guidance if you test positive for COVID-19.  This includes isolating for at least 5 days and wearing a face mask through day 10.

Together we can keep our community healthy!

Help Alleviate School Nutrition Debt

Please DONATE

The Brunswick School Department is looking to alleviate school nutrition debt for families in our community. Prior to the pandemic, families in the Brunswick community had accumulated $7,000 in debt from unpaid lunch bills. We would like to relieve the stress from those families and take care of the payment for them. This is where we need your help! We're looking to not only fundraise for the $7,000 owed to the school nutrition program, but we would like to keep the fundraising going and provide cold milk for all students throughout the remainder of the school year.

The Maine Department of Education has funded free school lunches to all students throughout the 2022-2023 school year. However, what is not funded is cold milk for those students that choose to bring their lunches from home. We would like to have cold milk equally accessible to all students, and with your support, we could make this a reality for the Brunswick community. 

If interested in donating, please scan the QR code below or visit https://givebutter.com/foodservicerelief  

Every little bit helps and goes directly to help families in our community.

We appreciate your support.



With Gratitude,

Brunswick School Department
