Brunswick High School Athletics
Captain's Council
Brunswick High School Athletic Administrator, Aaron Watson, will be establishing a student-based group called the "Captain's Council". This group has been in the works since August and will begin in the upcoming weeks. The mission of this group is to develop leadership qualities and to allow students a chance to provide productive feedback for the athletic programs.

"Incorporating the ideas from our student leaders to help shape our athletic programs is an essential piece of the educationally-based athletic program that we believe in", said Watson. "Our group will meet frequently to discuss pertinent issues in Brunswick Athletics, provide input in revising practices and procedures in our Athletic Department while providing an opportunity to develop leadership skills."

The council will include captains of sports teams, and anyone else who is interested in developing their leadership qualities.

Technology Department Update
This week, you will receive an important text message from Brunswick School Dept. Historically, our text messages have come from 98901 but will now come from 98900. In addition to that adjustment, this message will include language on how to opt-out of any further text messages from Brunswick School Dept. Text messages are an important and effective means of communicating with our community so please do not opt out if you would like to be made aware of emergency notifications and district updates in the future. Doing so would mean that you will miss important information.

The Brunswick Technology Department has deployed over 2,000 devices for students to use this school year. To help teachers and students utilize these devices to their full potential, technology integrators are in each school. Teachers are working closely with integrators to implement purposeful use of technology in the classroom. Students are learning responsibility for the care and use of their device.  

The data, systems, and network administrators continue to handle the many behind the scenes operations needed to make the school department run effectively while the technology support specialists are solving issues that arise throughout the day. The technology team is dedicated to ensuring the school department runs as smoothly as possible.

October 18-22 is Digital Citizenship Week.
