Hello, Metacomet Families,
As long as the temperatures stay above freezing, we would like to have our students get fresh air and go outside for recess. We will allow students to walk in the snow only if they have their winter books and snow pants on. If they do not, students will only be allowed to play on the playscape and the blacktop. We do not want them getting their clothes wet. Thank you!

As you may be aware, the district is planning to consolidate its schools for the start of the 2026-2027 school year. The consolidation plans impact Metacomet and Arace Schools and will allow our current 4th graders to stay at Metacomet School for their 5th grade experience. Carmen Arace Middle School will then serve students in grades 6-8, only. We believe these changes will have a positive impact on student achievement and engagement, as well as the district’s financial stability. In addition to the instructional benefits, the consolidation will naturally reduce the number of schools Bloomfield students attend. In an effort to start addressing any questions or concerns families might have about this change, the district will present a Grade 4 Parent Informational Session during the Metacomet PTO Meeting in January. Please join us on Thursday, January 22nd at 6:00 p.m. at Metacomet School. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tracy A. Youngberg
Superintendent of Schools
