SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR 2021-2022
The BAS PTA is happy to once again offer a convenient and easy way to shop for school supplies. School Toolbox comes with the teacher-approved school supplies your student needs and helps you avoid the back-to-school store rush. Simply place your order by Sunday, June 27th to have all your child’s necessary supplies ready and waiting in the classroom on the first day of school. Orders can be placed online at www.schooltoolbox.com. Click where it says "Find your school" to search for Bloomingdale Avenue School. Take advantage of this easy shopping tool and order today! Please contact Meredith Goldblatt with any questions at merhud1@yahoo.com.
*Please note- headphones WITHOUT a microphone piece are required across all grades. These should be purchased separately and sent in with your child on the first day of school.
*Incoming Kindergarten students- there are separate boxes for Half Day and Full Day students. Please make sure you are purchasing the correct box.
The supply list for each grade level will be posted on the BAS website throughout the summer.

New Jersey Travel Advisory
Due to the upcoming holiday weekend, we would like to share the most updated travel and mask guidelines for New Jersey schools. Please note that although the travel advisory has been lifted for most New Jersey residents, New Jersey K-12 schools are excluded as per the New Jersey Department of Health. On May 19, 2021 the NJDOH advised:
“While the NJ Travel Advisory is no longer in effect individuals should follow CDC guidance regarding domestic and international travel. Schools should have a policy for exclusion of unvaccinated students and staff who are recommended to quarantine as per the NJDOH Recommended Minimum Quarantine Timeframes and CDC guidelines.”
Therefore, per the New Jersey travel advisory any unvaccinated student or staff member who travels outside of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, or Delaware (note that Connecticut is no longer included) must quarantine for 10 days or 7 days if they have a negative COVID test taken 3-5 days after returning to New Jersey. This quarantine includes participation in sports and all other school sponsored activities.
If you plan to travel outside the allowed states, please complete the school based travel reporting form and your school nurse will contact you. BAS Travel Form
