I wanted to send a reminder to all our families that we do not allow cell phones, SMART watches, toys, squishy toys and fidgets in our school. These items become a distraction and causes problems in our school- especially when they get lost of stolen. We ask that you have your child keep these items at home. If they are found at school, we will take them away and call home. We ask that parents come and pick up the items. Thank you for your support!
Bloomfield Public Schools is proud to partner with East Granby Public Schools to bring expanded, full-service school meal options to students at Seymour Elementary, Allgrove, East Granby Middle School, and East Granby High School!
This innovative partnership demonstrates how neighboring school districts can work together to put students first while creating lasting benefits for both communities. By sharing expertise, resources, and ideas, the districts are expanding access to school meals, creating staffing opportunities, and exploring new ways to support local farms and businesses.
As Bloomfield Superintendent Dr. Tracy Youngberg shared, this is a student-centered, win-win partnership that benefits both districts. She also recognized Food Service Director Nick Carambelas for his leadership in making this collaboration a reality.
We are proud to see this partnership in action and look forward to the opportunities it will create for students, families, and our communities! 💙 See the full article on our website: https://www.bloomfieldschools.org/article/3189741

Hello, Metacomet Families,
We are going to move our Mini Field Day for students who completed the Summer Packets from Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2. Due to all the rain that we had during the past three days, the field is very wet and we do not want our students to get hurt. We expect that by Friday, the grounds will be dry and we will have our Mini Field day from 2:15-3:00 pm. We will not send out permission slips to families. Any student who handed in a completed packet by September 25 will automatically be part of the field day. If you are not sure if your child will be part of the field day you may contact your child's teacher or the Metacomet office. Thank you!
