Dear Brewer School Department Families & Staff,
Due to the impending storm and the likelihood of dangerous road conditions due both to the predictions of wet, heavy snow and downed trees and other hazards, we are canceling school for tomorrow, Thursday, April 4, 2024. All after school activities are also canceled for the afternoon and evening of April 4th.
Please be safe if you have to be out during the storm.
Sincerely,
Gregg Palmer
(he/him/his)
The Brewer School Department is changing from a 2-hour delay to a school cancellation today, March 21, 2024, due to worsening storm conditions.
Stay safe if you have to be out on the roadways.
Best,
Gregg Palmer
As Mr. Palmer has announced, the Brewer School Department, including Brewer High School, will have a two (2) hour delay today, Thursday, March 21. The warning bell will ring at 9:45 a.m. with Block One classes beginning at 9:55. Students and staff have been emailed a copy of our "Two hour delay bell schedule." Stay safe, everyone!
The Brewer School Department will have a 2-hour delay this morning, March 21, 2024, due to low visibility during the early darkness with some blowing snow. The delay means bus runs and school openings will occur 2-hours later than a normal day. Our end of day schedule will remain the same as any other day.
Be safe,
Gregg Palmer, Superintendent

The US CDC issued a press release on March 1st, 2024 which updates the isolation guidelines for COVID-19.
The update highlights that when people get sick with a respiratory virus they should stay home and away from others. For people with COVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and can lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever is present, it has been gone without the use of a fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
This means that there is no longer a mandated 5-days of isolation or 10-days of masking. However, the CDC does continue to encourage masking for 5-days upon return to normal activities.
As part of the guidance, CDC provides active recommendations on core prevention steps and strategies:
*Staying up to date with vaccination to protect people against serious illness, hospitalization, and death. This includes flu, COVID-19, and RSV (if eligible).
*Practicing good hygiene by covering coughs and sneezes, washing or sanitizing hands often, and cleaning frequently touched surfaces.
*Taking steps for cleaner air, such as bringing in more fresh outside air, purifying indoor air, or gathering outdoors.
Please let us know if you're in need of a home test in order to identify what kind of illness you are experiencing.
