Welcome Fall

It is exciting to welcome fall to this school year. We have already had a lot of learning happen in September, and we are excited for the learning that will occur in October.

As we continue into our school year, please make sure to work with your children on their Homework and Remembering (Math) and reading for 20 minutes each day.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at rivars@bangorschools.org, or call me at 989.684.8891.

Warm regards,

Sarah

Breakfast & Lunch

Our school provides universal free breakfast and lunch to all of our learners. There are two lunch options served. Please see below for the October lunch calendar.

Attendance

School attendance is extremely important. Students are expected to come to school every day, on time. School begins at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 3:05 p.m. If your child comes between 8:15-8:45 a.m., they are marked tardy. If your child comes after 8:45 or leaves before 2:45 p.m., he/she is marked half day absent.

Homecoming Parade

The Homecoming Parade is on Friday, Oct. 7. All Bangor Central students are welcome to walk in the parade with Bangor Central Staff. Each student is to have a parent accompany them on the walk. We will line up at 5:10 p.m. near the corner of Midland and Two Mile Road. The parade will begin at 5:30 p.m. Students and parents can bring candy to toss during the parade and/or make a banner to showcase Bobcat Spirit. If you can’t make it to the parade but would still like to donate candy, please drop off candy at the school’s office before 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7.

PTO at Bangor Central

PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is committed to connecting students and families with out school. They create fun, engaging activities for all. If you are interested in becoming a participant in PTO, please join us on Monday, Oct. 10 at 5 p.m. in Central's library.

We also have a Bangor Central Parent Group to stay up-to-date on PTO events.

Sick Students

Thank you for keeping your child home if he/she is sick. We do not want to spread illness to other students and their families. Illness is a perfectly understandable reason your child would not be at school. If your child is sent to school sick or starts to not feel well during the school day, we will contact you.

Morning Drop Off

We open the school doors at 8 a.m. Students are to be dropped off at the back gate between 8-8:15 a.m. If your child is dropped off after 8:15 a.m., they will need to be signed in at the front office.

Sign in and Out Sheets

If parents/guardians need to pick up their child(ren) early for an appointment, please make sure to come into the office to sign your child out; at this time, an ID may be asked for, so please make sure to have that available. If students are coming back to school, they need to be signed in, as well.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent Teacher Conferences will be on Oct. 20. Teachers will reach out to schedule these. Please be on the lookout for these within the next few days if you have not received anything yet.

Math Spooktacular

We are currently in the process of planning for our Math Spooktacular event. More information will come out soon. If you are interested in donating candy, please drop if off to the main office.
