Bear Cave
Week of 8/15/22
From the desk of Principal Lam
We are in the full swing of learning, and our students are engaged with our teachers daily. We have begun iReady testing. This is an important diagnostic assessment for students in grades K - 5 in the areas of reading and math. We will use data from this assessment to determine the specific learning needs of your child. The iReady system will provide them with a learning path to address their areas of weakness in reading and math in addition to the teacher guided instruction they will receive.
We are getting faster each day with carpool. Please remember the following:
- Please follow all directions of Bloomingdale Staff/Campus Police
- Be alert and attentive when in the car line.
- Please refrain from the use of your cellphone while in the carpool line
- Please do not exit your vehicle
- Have your car tag(s) clearly displayed on the right side of the dash
- Ensure that students can quickly enter your car from the right side passenger door(s). If you need to assist younger students with their seat belt, please pull forward so we can keep the line moving.
We hope that you will join us for our Back to School Night at 5:30pm on Thursday August 25, 2022.
On and Ever Upward,
Benjamin Lam
Principal

PowerSchool Verification Forms Due by August 12th!!!
Each year, parents/guardians are asked to verify/update the address and contact information on file at the school. This is referred to as Online Student Verification. Failure to verify this information could result in not receiving important information from the school/district. It is important for schools to have the most recent information on file.
Please verify/update student information no later than August 12, 2022. Only one legal parent/guardian can complete the verification.
There are two ways data can be verified:
- Using the PowerSchool Parent Portal (Note: You cannot use the app, you must log into the Portal) If parents/guardians need a Parent Access account.
Please note if the address has changed, new proof of address must be uploaded in the verification.
If parent/guardian names have changed, it will require parent/guardian to contact the school and provide required documentation.
How do I get started using the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
- Log into Parent Access. (button below)
- Select the student you wish to register along the top.
- Select the Student Verification 22-23 Icon on the left side.
- Agree to the terms and conditions.
- Click Begin Forms.
- Repeat the process for all students.
I do not have a Parent Access account.
If parents/guardians need a Parent Access account, please use a button below to submit the request.
I forgot my login credentials for the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
If you already have an account and do not remember your username and password, please click the reset Username/Password on the Parent Access login screen here: https://sccpss.powerschool.com/public/account_recovery_begin.html
Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change prior to submitting the form, navigate back to the page using the “< Prev” and “Next >” buttons or click on the underlined field on the Review page. If you have already submitted the form, you will need to contact your student’s school to make the changes.
I’ve completed the form, now what?
Once you have finished entering your information, click “Submit" to send the information to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.
What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes, you will need to provide information that is specific to each child. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another. This will allow you to “snap” (or share) selected family information, which will save you time.
