Dear BRES Parents/Grandparents: We have exciting news from the "Set for Success" committee, a program of the Boothbay Region Resources Council! The BRCRC, working with the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) is funding the initial contribution of $25.00 for each child in the Boothbay Region to open a NextGen College savings plan. NextGen is Maine's Section 529 college savings plan. NextGen will also make an initial matching grant of $200.00, making this an amazing offer and opportunity for your child to begin saving for his or her post-secondary education. Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity. BRES will be sending information home with three easy steps to open an account. FMI please contact Eva Giles at FAME [email protected] or 207-620-3542, or 800-228-3734 ext. 3542.

REINFORCING THE BRES HANDBOOK BUSING INFORMATION All students are eligible to ride the school bus to and from school. All students in grades K-5 must take the bus home unless the office is notified of alternative arrangements. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for someone to meet your child at his/her destination. Any students in grades Pre-K through Grade 2 will not be dropped off without a parent or adult guardian visibly present at the bus stop, or without a prior written authorization from parents that has been given to the school's main office. If no one is at the bus stop for your child, your child will be brought back to the school to be picked up there.



 Parents must observe the following procedure when altering a student’s method of transportation: 1. Students (K-5) who will not be riding the bus home MUST HAVE A NOTE FROM THEIR PARENT/ GUARDIAN. These notes are to be given to their homeroom teacher. To ensure the safety of all children at BRES, we cannot accept phoned in bus notes. 2. Students (K-5) who have a change from their regular scheduled after school plan, MUST HAVE A NOTE FROM THEIR PARENT/GUARDIAN. *All bus notes must contain the child’s first and last name, the name of his/her homeroom teacher, where he/she is going (street address) and whom he/she will be with and must be signed by a parent/guardian. 3. Students attending after school programs or extracurricular activities may use a blanket permission slip for the period of time involved. When the program or activity has ended, a new note to update the after school plan will be needed. 4. Notes may be written on Monday for the entire week. 5. In the case of an emergency and you must change your child’s after school plan, call the school office by 12:00. For the safety of your child, we cannot take any bus changes after 12:00 am. Keeping track of over 350 students is always a challenge. Please help us to protect your child’s safety by keeping us informed of their destination.

Come to Lincoln Medical Partners Pediatrics in Boothbay Harbor for a Flu and Immunization Clinic, Tuesday September 26th, and October 24th. We will be giving flu shots and will catch your child up with immunizations if needed. No appointments necessary and we will be here until 7:00 p.m. Bonus – we are handing out stickers and Frisbee’s.
