Hello Bloomingdale Bear Families!

We are quickly approaching October and the end of the first grading period. Be sure you have checked PowerSchool to review your child's grades. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions or concerns you may have about your child's progress.

October is filled with a lot happening at school, so please be sure to review the calendar.

We want to continue to HIGHLY ENCOURAGE our families to read every night at least 20 minutes with their child. If you need books, please contact Ms. Dubarie or come visit our parent center from 9am - 3pm. We have many books for checkout!

Picture Day: Rescheduled for Friday September 29th.

Domino's PTA Fundraiser: Money for the Domino's Fundraiser is due on Monday!

On and ever upward,

Principal Lam

Parents/Guardians,

The Transportation Department has completed distribution of barcoded student cards for initiation of the Synovia/Here Comes The Bus Student Pass Program. Parents/Guardians can download the Here Comes the Bus (HCTB) app to track their child's bus. We highly encourage families to take advantage of this resource. You may find the code and more information here: Here Comes the Bus FAQs.pdf (sccpss.com)

Each SCCPSS bus is equipped with a tablet to validate students when loading and unloading. Parents are able to monitor their child’s scans using the HCTB parent app. For parents already utilizing the HCTB app to monitor the bus, student scans will automatically populate in the app. Students should be reminded to keep their card with them for morning and afternoon transportation.

Routing updates are occurring on a continuous basis as transportation information is received through exports. As students are added to routes, Transportation will generate barcoded cards for these students.

Families who reside in Bloomingdale’s attendance zone, if you are interested in your child riding the bus, please complete this form. A member of our team will review your information and contact you with route information and a start date. (Does NOT apply to students currently riding the bus & students on administrative placement).

1. Remain in the same lane—do not switch over after number is recorded.
2. Cell-Phone FREE zone
3. School Zone - Watch your speed
4. After 4:00 PM—late pick up.
