I hope that everyone is reading this newsletter safe and well following the impacts from Hurricane Ian in our area! We are excited to welcome students back to school on Monday Oct. 3, 2022! Don't forget to return those devices and chargers on Monday!
Volunteers: Many have been asking and we are excited to announce that volunteers can return to campus. We have many opportunities for volunteering in our Parent Center, classrooms, PTA, and more! Those wishing to volunteer should complete the Operation Beacon process and then email our Family Engagement Facilitator, Ms. Kysha Dubarie, to schedule volunteer opportunities.
Candy: We are seeking candy donations for Trunk or Treat on Oct. 27th. If you would like to donate a bag of candy for this event, you can send it in with your student or drop if off at the main office.
21st Century: Our students are enjoying 21st Century, which continues everyday this week, and learning a lot! 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 - link should be fixed.

School Council
Georgia law requires each school to have an advisory group known as the School Council. This group is created to offer advice to the school board, superintendent and principal on matters pertaining to student achievement and school improvement. Membership on the School Council consists of parents, teachers, business/community partners and the principal.
The school council meets approximately four times during the school year.
Parents exercise an important role on the School Council and are key to its success. For a parent to serve, there is an election held among the parent population of the school. In this connection, we are seeking parents/guardians of a student currently enrolled at Bloomingdale Elementary School who would be interested in being a part of this important group and participating in the election process. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Lam at benjamin.lam@sccpss.com.
