BLOOMFIELD BULLETIN

Bloomfield School District

Congratulations 2021

Graduates! Another successful graduating

class completed their education

at Bloomfield High School! Fifty

percent of the participants earned

an honors diploma of some type

(Academic Honors, Technical

Honors, or both). Fifteen

graduates earned the Indiana

College Core which is a block of

30 college credits transferrable to

all state universities. Bloomfield

also had one student earn an

Associate of General Studies

Degree through our Early College

High School program this year. The

2021 cohort had a 96% graduation

rate. We are proud of our 2021

graduates!

July 2021

The construction is on track for classrooms to be ready for the first day of school on August 10th. In summary:

• Flooring is almost complete in the middle school classrooms and almost com-plete in the elementary classrooms.

• The painting is complete in the ele-mentary classrooms and will begin soon in the middle school.

• The cabinets and cubbies are com-plete in the E hallway classrooms and work has begun in the F hallway ele-mentary classrooms.

• The new bus barn across from the other one is up.

• The South Street drainage and sidewalk has had some delays, but should be done on time. The plan is to have the buses drop off students in grades 6-12 at the main entrance on Spring Street, then drop off elementary students within a coned-off lane on the south side of South Street. Crossing guards will be on duty, and students will only be released from buses after all traffic is stopped. Buses will depart after dropping off their students by going down to Green Street. All bus loading after school will be at the main Middle/High School doors on Spring Street.

• Teachers should be able to park in their normal lots. Student drivers will have to park in the knoll or baseball field because the normal lot will be torn up soon and will not be accessible.

• The elementary roof will be worked on in the fall but should not affect classrooms.

THE BSD BUILDING PROJECT IS

PROGRESSING SUCCESSFULLY

FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AT BSD!

The state DOE has adopted the waivers through USDA to allow FREE meals to all students for the 2021-22 school year. While we are excited about the continuation of free meals, we would like to remind you that free and reduced applications will still be available. The P-EBT Program and Textbook Fees are based on this eligibility. It is also beneficial to have a true snapshot of our free and reduced programs, which in turn opens Bloomfield School District up to participate in more opportunities for students and our school. Encourage your child to eat breakfast and lunch every day in the cafeteria. It saves you money and strengthens the cafeteria food program.

SUMMER PROGRAMMING

Summer School was offered for 4 weeks in the morning this summer with approximately 120 students participating in grades K-12. These students were able to take advantage of more one-on-one help, made significant gains in math and English content, and received a free breakfast and lunch! In addition, our 21st Century CCLC program provided summer enrichment in the afternoon, following morning summer school. Activities included: designing, building, and running robots, caring for and milking goats, planting seeds in order to learn the life-cycle of vegetation, tree identification, tie-dying shirts, learning water safety, and many other fun STEM activities.

COVID RE-ENTRY PLAN

A proposed updated COVID re-entry plan is posted on

our website at www.bsd.k12.in.us for board

recommendation on July 29, 2021.

As always, public comments on agenda items are

allowed towards the beginning of all school board

meetings or you can call me at 812-384-4507, email me
