Hello, Bloomingdale!
Hope you are all doing well. Believe it or not - we are in the final weeks of the 2020 - 2021 school year. This year has certainly presented numerous challenges but I am proud of everyone in the Bloomingdale Community for working together to make it through.
On behalf of the entire district leadership team, wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
Best,
Dr. Nicosia
Reminder - Memorial Day
We in the Bloomingdale Community are forever grateful for the ultimate sacrifice of those who died for the Unites States. May their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.
End of Year Information
COVID Response Update
As we progress into the final stage of the year and dive deeper into the changes to the Executive Orders, Bloomingdale Public Schools would like to announce the following changes to our restart & reopening plan:
Our district has worked with our Department of Health to plan the following responses in order to ensure that all changes have their agreement and to ensure the safety and well being of all our students.
On Friday, May 28th, the Governor will relax masking protocols within the State. In accordance with the latest guidelines, we will continue our masking policy for all indoor activities such as classroom academic instruction.
For all outdoor ceremonies/events, Bloomingdale will not require a mask to be worn as per NJ parameters. If, however, individuals choose to wear their mask, they are welcome to do so. For all events, we will continue to follow the three foot social distancing parameters already in place.
We will continue to offer our students mask breaks during the school day. As per Executive Order 175, students may remove masks outdoors during mask breaks, outdoor PE class and when classes are taught outdoor with the ability to social distance. Starting last week, we also reopened our playgrounds and students are allowed to use both the equipment, as well as additional recreational equipment we are providing. We recognize the importance of this as a much needed step towards meeting the socialization and overall social emotional needs of our students.
During arrival & dismissal - we recognize that dismissal takes place outside and masks will no longer be required. We kindly request that if you need to speak with your child's teacher that you wear a mask to ensure their safety and well-being to finish out the school year.
- No travel quarantine for students or staff who are fully vaccinated or had COVID within the last 90 days.
- Travel quarantine for those unvaccinated but reducing quarantine time to 7 days with a negative test and the test must be done between 3 and 5 days of the return or 10 day quarantine if no test taken.
