This week Mrs. Goldschmidt's kindergarten class spent time practicing the elements of partner reading. The students are developing essential habits to being a good reading partner such as sitting next to your partner, putting the book in the middle, see-saw read and reading the pictures and the words.

Dear Families,

Does your child love to tell or write stories, create illustrations, or share fun facts?!  Through Eastover PTO's Publishing Center, your student can become a published author!

Participants can write and illustrate their own story and it will be bound into a beautiful color masterpiece! Best of all, the Eastover PTO provides a copy for each K-3 student, so there is no cost to you.

We are asking families to please register for each child before Nov 22nd.

Families were invited to Bloomfield Hills High School on August 25 to enjoy games, entertainment, prizes, farm animals, a dunk tank, and food, but most importantly, togetherness.

Bloomfield Hills Schools welcomed returning and new elementary families for a Meet the Teacher event across the district prior to the start of school.

The first day of school, Tuesday, September 6, was a flurry of excitement and anticipation, as students and staff returned to buildings.

There are not many changes from what students and staff experienced in the Spring regarding our COVID-19 protocols, but this is a good reminder for all of us. 

The Bloomfield Hills food service department is excited to announce the continuation of our breakfast program in the 2022-23 school year! Unfortunately, there will be a cost of $1.85 associated with breakfasts purchased this year for full pay students. If your child qualifies for Free meals, there will be no charge and for those that qualify for Reduced price meals, the charge will be $.30. Visit our school lunch page https://www.bloomfield.org/departments/lunch for more information on the Free/Reduced price meal program.

In order to identify students that wish to purchase meals, we are implementing a pre-order system. Please click on this link and fill out/submit the form to have meals delivered to your child’s classroom on a weekly basis (you may want to bookmark this link if you plan to order regularly). Orders need to be placed for the school week by Sunday evening. Breakfast will be ready for your child in their classroom when they arrive at school. The Breakfast menu is posted on the google form, so you can choose the days/meals that your child wants to eat with us.

All breakfasts come with an entree fruit, juice and milk. If for some reason you cannot fill out the form, please call the food service office @ (248)341-5671 and we can help you out! Have a great start to your school year!
