Bloomingdale Blast
Meet the Principal
Hello Families!
Dear Bloomingdale Avenue Community,
I am filled with great pride and enthusiasm to begin the 2024-2025 school year as the new principal of Bloomingdale Avenue School.
Prior to the end of the school year, I had the opportunity to connect with staff and parents of Bloomingdale. Throughout each interaction, the care for the school and students is evident. In looking ahead, I value future opportunities to collaborate with you all to create a strong connection between home and school. It is our goal to create a caring environment for students to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
As previously shared, I am coming to Bloomingdale after serving as a Vice Principal in Randolph. Before serving in that role, I taught Social Studies for several years. This upcoming school year will be my 15th in education altogether! I know how valuable the elementary years are from the perspective of a parent as my wife and I have three children. Our oldest will be entering first grade while our twins will turn four years old in January.
I would like to thank Dr. Rubin and Ms. D’Anna for their support and assistance over the last couple weeks to ensure a smooth transition. My goal is to build upon the strong foundation already created at Bloomingdale. Moreover, we will continue our tradition of hosting Kindergarten Orientation and New Student Orientation for any new 1st & 2nd grade students prior to the first day of school. This information is available on the district website under Bloomingdale Avenue School.
Additionally, I would like to invite students and families to a Bloomingdale meet and greet where I can meet you as well as your child/children. Please view the invitation below and complete the form to RSVP: https://forms.gle/4Zsyq1gM7MR1NVqx7
If you are unable to attend the meet and greet, please do not hesitate to reach out prior or after the event to set-up an alternative time to visit.
As we approach the first day of school, I can be reached at litz@cranfordschools.org or by phone at 908-709-6969. I look forward to a successful 2024-2025 school year!
Take care,
Mr. Litz
