Bear Cave
Week of 9/19/22
From the desk of Principal Lam
We had a very busy week at Bloomingdale last week! We want to invite all our parents to come to our Annual Title I meeting this Tuesday 9/20 at 5pm in the cafeteria. We will share information about Title I including what is Title I, how can you be involved, and how are we using Title I funds to support your child.
Read at home: I want to encourage all of our parents to have their student read 20 minutes per day. Please see the graphic below on the power of reading for 20 minutes per day and what this can do for your child!
Dismissal: Parents please be reminded that transportation changes cannot be made over the phone and there are no early sign-outs after 3:15pm. All transportation changes must be done in writing before 2pm. Additionally, parents are not allowed to walk up to pick students up during dismissal as this creates a safety concern. We appreciate your understanding and attention to this important matter.
21st Century: Our students had a GREAT first week at 21st Century which continues everyday this week. Students participating in this event will report to the cafeteria at dismissal. They may be picked up in the front of the school at 6:30pm. This program is for students in grades 2 - 5. Students will engage in remediation and enrichment activities, have dinner provided by Second Harvest, and overall enjoy a safe and fun afterschool activity for FREE! There is still time to join - scroll down for a link to register.
October Calendar: We are excited to publish our October Calendar in this newsletter as well.
On and Ever Upward,
Benjamin Lam
