It is difficult to know how to manage our children's social anxiety and negative self-talk. Participants will learn how these impact executive functioning, how therapy can help, and acquire some tips and tools to help facilitate difficult conversations.

Bloomfield Hills Schools Foundation Board members recently announced the recipients of the 2022-2023 BHSF grants by visiting schools and surprising winners with the good news! Giant checks created smiles from school to school.

Across Bloomfield Hills Schools this past semester, students have been hard at work to help our schools receive the No Place for Hate designation. An initiative of the Anti-Defamation League, No Place for Hate involves students leading the way, designing and implementing three activities over the course of a school year to gain the designation.

BHS will no longer be utilizing Community Pass for lunch deposits. Electronic funds (paying by bank account or credit card) should now be done directly in ParentPortal. Instructions are available here.

What stories of selfless service will help shine a bright light on the mission and vision of your organization, as expressed through the effort of volunteers?

Join BHS Superintendent Pat Watson for some friendly competition on the pickleball courts on January 31, 2023, from 7-9 pm at West Hills Middle School Fieldhouse. Rackets will be provided.

When our students have one of nature’s little accidents and do not have extra clothes at school, we do the following:

• Provide brand-new underwear
• Provide clean bottoms, socks, and a shirt (if all are necessary)
• Families are called if the clean-up is beyond what we can support at school

Our current struggle is we do not have small-sized clothes and anticipate more accidents when students are in their snow gear.

To help us with nature’s little accidents, we are asking for gently used clothes. The following would be very helpful:

• New Underwear
• Sweatpants/joggers (small sizes mostly needed)
• Jeans/pants (small sizes mostly needed)
• Socks  

Dear Eastover and East Hills Families:

We are so excited to invite you to a night of glow tubing at Bowers Farm!  We have secured February 1 from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. for our school communities to come together for some tubing fun!

TUBING TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED ONLINE & IN ADVANCE. 

Please Note: The Following Guidelines for the Event, and that Pre-Registration is Required:

• If you want to tube, you must pre-purchase a tubing ticket which includes the GA ticket for the participant (GA ticket need not be purchased separately).
• Tickets are $17 per person (plus processing fees) and are non-refundable or transferable. We will be tubing whether there is snow or rain, or sun. There are no rain or weather dates.
• A General Admission (GA) ticket is required for anyone to enter Winter Park who is not tubing.
• Tickets are only available for that individual school. Every ticket will need to be purchased through the online registration system.

• A helmet may be worn for safety; however, this is not a requirement.
• Participants should be able to walk up the hill pulling their own tube and get in and out by themselves.  
• To ensure a safe experience for all parties involved in tubing, the tubing run (including hill and end of run) is restricted to only ticketed tubing participants, except in special circumstances where additional assistance is required to provide accessibility support.
• Each ticket is for 50 minutes of tubing on the hill at a set start time.
• ARRIVE at least 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR TIME SLOT TO CHECK IN AT TICKETING.  Time will not be extended if you arrive late.

Everyone attending Winter Park must either:

1. Purchase a combined Tubing/GA ticket for $17 per person for those tubing, OR

The PTOs of Eastover and East Hills

Dear Eastover Families,

With the cold weather upon us, we would like to clarify what needs to be done regarding winter weather gear (coats, snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves). If there is snow on the ground, the children need to have boots and snow pants.  If your child does not have boots and snow pants, then he/she will play on the cleared off cement area next to the building.

Also, please LABEL ALL of your child's winter gear with his/her name.  Sometimes students forget what gloves, hats, etc. they brought to school.Winter gear can be sent into school in a labeled bag.

Please make sure your child has a pair of indoor shoes in his/her backpack.  Walking around in winter boots all day is uncomfortable and too hot for their feet.

Let us know in the office know if your child doesn't own winter gear, we can make arrangements for them during the school day. 

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!
