JUNE 2019
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Greetings Bloomingdale Families,
It is hard to believe that June is here already. It seems like yesterday that school was just beginning and I was learning so many new names and faces. The time has gone by so quickly, and soon we will be dismissing students for summer break. Please note that the Last day of school is on WEDNESDAY, June 26th this year. Students will be dismissed according to the following schedule:
Monday, 6/24 - 11:30
Tuesday, 6/25 - 11:30
Wednesday, 6/26 - 10:30
As a reminder, please refer to the online calendar posted on the District Homepage for year-end events that are taking place. The Bloomingdale Family Night will be taking place in conjunction with the District’s Family Reading Fun Night on June 6th from 5:00 to 6:30. A barbeque dinner will be served on this evening free of charge. We have many activities planned including the book fair, a book giveaway, and outdoor bouncy houses (weather permitting). There will be artwork, classroom displays, and family photos as well. There are many other activities that evening, but too many to include in this letter, so please make sure to join us on the 6th.
The next 3 weeks are filled with various events here at Bloomingdale and I know the time will go by much too fast. I want to wish everyone a wonderful and safe summer and I want to thank you for an incredible school year. I will miss seeing the smiling faces in the halls every day and I already look forward to next year in great anticipation. Have a fantastic end to the school year everyone!

A NOTE FROM THE NURSE
As we approach the end of the school year, here are a few tips to help keep your summer safe and fun!
- Be safe in the sun: cover up as much as you can; wear your hat and sunglasses and apply broad spectrum sun-screen that is at least SPF 15 to exposed areas. Apply 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating! Remember the sun is at its strongest between 10 am and 4 pm and even on cloudy days sun protection is needed.
- Be safe in the water: always always always have a responsible adult present when children are
swimming or around water! When boating, everyone should always wear a life jacket that fits
properly.
To parents of students with medications here at school:
Please note that parents need to arrange to pick up these medications from school by the end of the last day of school (June 26th). Medication cannot be transported by a student and any medications left here need to be discarded. Thank you!
Enjoy your summer!
