Greetings Families,
We were excited to see our students yesterday. Attendance reached 93.3%. Excellent turn out families. Let’s keep up our attendance numbers high and congratulations to BHS for having the highest attendance total.
• Fabulous Fact: Students with involved parents have a 98% average school attendance rate, which contributes significantly to academic achievement.

I received a random call from a Bloomfield citizens asking how they could help support our students that may need supplies or a uniform. I asked if this was a parent wanting to assist other students. The caller said, No, I'm in my twenties. I don't have any kids. I just want to help." That beautiful person was Jerissa Johnson and we thank her for her willingness to give and genuine good heart. She donated black polo shirts for BHS students and backpacks filled with school supplies to Metacomet. She declined to take a picture but said she'll see us again around the holiday.
Just two days left until all of our students are filling our hallways with joy! Remember the goal is 100% attendance on the first day. Here are two tips for a great start:
1 . Establish a consistent bedtime routine to develop a healthy sleep routine
2. Organize and prep the night before

The town of Bloomfield's 2nd Annual National Night Out was a fantastic community outing. Backpack give aways, popcorn, hotdogs, ice cream, music, dunk tanks, splash pads and swimming!!! It was awesome to see the friendly faces and meet the people that help to make our community so great. Special thank you to the student workers that assisted with setup and breakdown. Can't wait for next year!!! Well done!
The S.T.E.A.M. Expo at Laurel Literacy Academy was a successful showing of the hard work of our students and community partners. Over 60 of our families attended and were impressed with the academic enrichment activities that were engaging our students during the afterschool program. Thank you to Stacy Wylie- Arthur, Tamika Lipscomb, Auer Farm, Bloomfield Extension and Creativista for a successful year of programming.
The fabulous Shander George and Laura Hasse were among those honored at the Hope Seventh-Day Adventist Church Community Day. These former and current Bloomfield Public School employees go above and beyond for our students and parents everyday. Shander works tirelessly in our Family Resource Center and always with a smile and warm greeting. Ms. Hasse holds it down in our Extension program. They have been a part of the fabric of our community for many years and we are pleased to see them get their shine. When you see them congratulate and thank them for their continued contribution to the Bloomfield Community.

This week students will have the opportunity to take a tour of the new schools that they will transition to in the fall. Principals and staff members will welcome students, answer questions and manage expectations for the next school. Please be sure to ask your child about their visit and look for communication from your child's school about opportunities for you as a parent to learn more.

Building together through STEAM
We pet ferrets, held snakes, built and tested bridges, raced cars, created works of art with 3-D pens, and masterfully put together pinball machines. The STEAM Night sponsored by the Children's Museum of Science and The Bloomfield Public Library was hugely successful. Thank you to students and parents from Metacomet, CAIS and CAMS for their engagement and to Principal Williams, Dr. Ellis, Viviene Walker and Nicole Dolat for a great night.
What an extraordinary networking opportunity at Friday Cafe?!
