Welcome to the 2023-24 school year!

Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome to the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology for the 2023-24 academic year. As we embark on this new school year, through academic and technical skill training, we pride ourselves on real-world learning that will challenge our student’s ability to problem-solve, apply theory to practice, and collaborate with others. We encourage our students to actively participate in all the opportunities made available to them throughout the year. Parents and guardians, we value your partnership in your student’s education. Please feel free to reach out to us and to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.

Our school is growing in programs and staff. This past summer we have undergone extensive renovation in our trade wing as well as a window project throughout our first and second floors. The trade wing project should be completed before school starts. We are also building a new wing in the back of the building, which is projected to be completed in July 2024. More information will be shared as time goes on.

You will receive a bi-monthly newsletter from us to keep you updated on what is happening. You also can access our website at https://www.biddefordschools.me/o/brct, which has information about the school and our student/parent handbook. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 282-1501 if you have any questions. We look forward to having your child in the coming year.

Sincerely Yours,

Paulette Bonneau, Director

START DATE, CLASS TIMES & TRANSPORTATION

Students will start their classes at BRCOT on September 5th. Students will receive information from their sending high schools regarding their start date.
Students attending BRCOT classes in the morning block need to be here by 8:25am and are dismissed at 10:40am.
Students attending BRCOT classes in the afternoon block need to here by 12:20pm and are dismissed at 2:25pm.
If your child is a BHS bus student, per BHS request, they will remain at BRCOT until 2:45pm at which time they will be released for the busses at the high school. Transportation to and from BRCOT is arranged by the sending schools. You can expect some confusion in bussing and schedules the first week. Everyone tries to get it right the first time, but there is always a glitch.
If your child is driving to and from the COT, they need to have an auto permission form signed by the parent, the sending school administration, and COT administration.
