The Board of Education approved the next steps in our return to learning plan, the Bloomfield Blueprint, during their August 20th Board of Education meeting. Please continue to reference the Bloomfield Blueprint website, which contains all up-to-date information and a record of the information from the past several months. Six components were presented and approved at the meeting.

As educators, we are all aware of the challenges the spring shutdown brought many of the students, as well as parents and staff.  After hearing the experiences from students, teachers, other special education administrators and all of you, we are committed to remaining focused on what is best for students. To that end, we need to ensure that we are providing the best instructional opportunities for our students while keeping health and safety as our priority.
