Throughout the evening, students and their families became literary detectives—rotating through interactive stations, solving puzzles, and uncovering hidden clues inspired by favorite book characters and stories. It was a fun, hands-on way to build reading, observation, and comprehension skills together.
Most importantly, it was a night filled with laughter, teamwork, and a shared love of reading. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Laurel Literacy Academy to celebrate literacy, curiosity, and community!
The Drill Team earned 1st place overall, the Color Guard Team also took 1st place, and Cadet Anniyah Henry placed 3rd in Individual Drill out of more than 60 competitors. Your discipline, precision, and teamwork truly stood out.
As one Army Cadet Command official shared: “BHS Drill and Color Guard Teams never looked better! They performed with absolute discipline, precision movements, and were 100% in unison for the entire routines.”
We are proud of all our cadets for representing Bloomfield with excellence!
Bloomfield Public Schools: Preparing for State Assessment Season
As we enter state assessment season, Bloomfield Public Schools is proud of the growth our students have demonstrated throughout the year. These assessments are an opportunity for students to show what they know and help us better support every learner.
We know testing can bring a mix of emotions. With the right support, students can approach assessments with confidence and a positive mindset.
What Families Should Know
State assessments measure progress in areas such as reading, writing, science, and mathematics. They are just one part of your child’s overall learning.
How Families Can Support at Home
• Prioritize rest and routine: A good night’s sleep helps students stay focused.
• Encourage a positive mindset: Emphasize effort over perfection.
• Be on time: Arriving at school ready helps students start calmly.
• Plan for breakfast: A nutritious breakfast supports focus—students may eat at home or take advantage of breakfast offered at school.
• Stay connected: Contact your child’s teacher or school for specific testing dates and any questions.
Our Commitment
Our educators are committed to creating supportive environments where students feel prepared and confident. Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting student success!
Join us as we honor the legacy of Global Experience Magnet School (GEMS) and Carmen Arace Intermediate School (CAIS).
As we prepare to close these two schools at the end of the school year, we invite students, families, staff, alumni, and community members to attend our upcoming farewell events. We hope to see you there as we celebrate these incredible school communities.
