Good evening,
We have been made aware of racist and derogatory text messages that have been sent to Bloomfield students and community members. It is our understanding that individuals across the country have received these hateful messages, and the Town of Bloomfield and the Bloomfield Board of Education stand united in condemning any and all forms of racism, prejudice, or hate within our community. We are deeply disturbed by the recent remarks involving this racially offensive language, which violates the core values of respect, inclusion, and equality that we hold as a town and school district.
Racist language, behavior, and rhetoric have no place in Bloomfield, and we are committed to ensuring that every member of our community feels safe, valued, and respected.
In conjunction with the Bloomfield Police Department, we are actively responding to these incidents and will work with local, state, and federal authorities to assist in their investigation.

Good afternoon GEMS Families!
We have officially made it through our first day and students have heard all the expectations for this school year. I was excited to meet many students individually and am looking forward to all their successes. I ask that you take some time this evening to speak with your student about their day here at GEMS. Please also review the uniform with your child(ren); there will be no hoodies or outwear allowed throughout the school day. All electronics are expected to be in lockers throughout the school day or will be confiscated/ and/ or need to be picked up by a parent or guardian. I appreciate your patience with dismissal transportation this week as we have over 30 different busses going to multiple towns/cities. We are working to make sure that all students make it home safely. If you are picking up your student, please send in a written note in the morning so that we can plan accordingly. If you have any questions, please reach out to me or the school. I look forward to your continued partnership throughout the school year.

We are still waiting for busses 11/13/17 here at GEMS. We were given an ETA of 10-15 mins. I appreciate your patience and flexibility with dismissal this first week.

Good morning,
Please see Mrs. Minicucci's google classroom to complete the link to select your world language preference. This form was due at the end of your 8th grade school year and if not completed by the end of day today a language will be selected for you as discussed last year. Thank you.
