All after school activities are cancelled today, Monday, November 18 for Brewer Schools due to the forecast predicting slippery conditions this afternoon.
The Brewer School Department is deeply shocked and saddened to learn that one of our high school seniors, Jordan Parkhurst, died in a car crash on Saturday evening. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jordan’s family and friends during this most difficult time. Jordan made our school community a better place. Brewer High School has activated a crisis response team and will have counselors and supports in place for all students and staff members when return to school on Monday morning, November 18.
We would like to thank Brewer Public Safety for working with the Brewer School Department I’m dealing with this tragedy.
All after school activities are cancelled for today, November 12th, 2019 due to falling temperatures later this afternoon coupled with moisture on the roadways.
Students in our Title I Reading and Math Programs participated in our "Fall for Learning" family night on Wednesday 11/6. They enjoyed many math and literacy games, and went home with fun ideas for learning at home! Thanks to all who were able to attend!
Ms. Hall's class has been learning about honeybees and why they are so important to us. They really enjoyed learning from Ms. Hall's father, Roger Reed, and daughter, Mandy Barrington. Students were able to try on beekeeping clothing and see what a hive and tools look like.
Dear Brewer Community,
Brewer Schools have power and so will be open today, 11.1.2019. The forecast is for improving conditions throughout the day. High school students from sending districts should check any notifications from your local school unit.
Sincerely,
Gregg Palmer, Superintendent

BCS families: For everyone's safety, please remember to use the crosswalk on Parkway South where our crossing guard and flashing traffic control are located. Motorists, please remember to be extra vigilant in the school zone areas. Thank you for your help!
Welcome back... our first full week at school! Be on the lookout for students who earn a "Way to B!" sticker for going above and beyond, demonstrating that they are respectful, responsible, and caring learners!
We hope that all of our BCS families had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. This is just a reminder that when school resumes this week, middle school students should not arrive at BCS prior to 7:30 and elementary students prior to 8:10.
