Cumulative statistics on all COVID-19 cases during the 2021-22 school year are available on the COVID-19 Dashboard. 

The Maine DHHS is making more COVID home tests available through Project ACT. All Maine households are eligible to receive 5 COVID home tests.

You may also order two sets of four free at-home tests from the federal government through www.COVIDtests.gov or by calling 800-232-0233.

You can still register your children for pooled testing. The directions can be found here.

Please remember to notify your school nurse when your student tests positive for COVID. This is important because schools need to monitor those who are COVID-positive and must notify the Maine CDC of positive test results. Also, individuals who test positive must be excluded from pooled testing for 90 days. Otherwise, they will cause their pools to be positive when there is no one in the pool who is actively positive. This causes unnecessary stress and work for those who are in the pools or who are monitoring the pools.

To help streamline the notification process, we have developed school-specific forms to complete when your/your child tests positive for COVID. Links to the forms are on the school webpages. Simply click the REPORT POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST RESULTS on your school’s webpage.

Links to each form can also be found on the district webpage and below:

The Brunswick School Board approved an initial concept of a new Pre-K model which will enable equitable programming for up to 96 students. This new model includes collaborating with Family Focus, a non-profit organization licensed by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. In addition to hosting Pre-K at Kate Furbish Elementary School, the Brunswick School Department will also partner with Family Focus to provide more access for Pre-K students. Partnering with a high-quality community partner program enables the BSD to better meet the needs of the Brunswick community.

All six Pre-K classrooms, regardless of their location, will be full-day, five day a week programs.

Families must pre-register and participate in the screening process to be considered for a spot in the Pre-K program. There will be a place in the pre-registration to give preference for a Pre-K location. Completing Pre-K pre-registration does not guarantee acceptance to the program. If there are more children pre-registered than spaces available in any location, priority will be given to those with academic or developmental needs. The remaining places will be determined through a lottery. 

Click here to pre-register your child.

The first Unified vs. Faculty basketball game took place on Friday, March 18th. The game had a great turnout of students and staff to cheer on both teams. Team Unified ended up beating Team Faculty and they were awarded with a plaque to highlight their victory. The plaque will be engraved with the outcome of the game with additional spaces to be updated with the outcomes of future games. BHS hopes to make this a yearly tradition. Congratulations to everyone involved in this fantastic event!
