Dear BHS Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the new school year at Bloomfield High School! We are thrilled to have your
child as part of our educational community and are excited about the upcoming year
filled with learning, growth, and achievement. As we embark on this journey together,
we want to take a moment to emphasize the priorities and expectations we have for our
students to ensure a safe, respectful, and responsible learning environment.
At BHS, we believe that creating a positive and inclusive school culture is essential for
fostering academic success and personal development. To achieve this, we have
identified three core values that will guide us throughout the school year: respect,
responsibility, and safety.
Respect: Respect is the cornerstone of a thriving community. We encourage our
students to demonstrate respect towards each other, teachers, staff members, and
themselves. Respectful behavior encompasses active listening, valuing diverse
perspectives, and treating others with kindness and empathy. By cultivating an
atmosphere of respect, we can enhance collaboration, communication, and
understanding among all members of the school community.
As parents and guardians, we kindly request your support in reinforcing the importance
of respect at home. Encourage open dialogue with your child about the significance of
being respectful and setting a positive example through your own actions and
interactions. Together, we can instill this invaluable virtue in our students and empower
them to navigate various social situations with grace and understanding.
Responsibility: Taking responsibility for one's actions and commitments is an essential
life skill that goes hand-in-hand with academic success. We encourage our students to
be accountable for their learning, completing assignments on time, and actively
participating in class discussions. Being responsible also extends beyond academics; it
involves being reliable, honest, and dependable individuals.
As parents and guardians, you play a vital role in helping your child develop a sense of
responsibility. Establishing routines, setting realistic goals, and providing
encouragement can significantly contribute to your child's sense of self-discipline and
dedication. We encourage you to work together with your child, teachers, and
counselors to support their educational journey and help them develop the necessary
skills to be responsible young adults.
Safety: The safety and well-being of our students are of utmost importance to us. Our
school endeavors to provide a secure and nurturing environment where students can
focus on their education without fear or distraction. We have implemented various
safety measures to ensure a physically and emotionally safe campus.
Parents and guardians can support our safety efforts by staying informed about school
policies and procedures, including those related to transportation, visitor guidelines, and
emergency protocols. Open communication with school staff is essential to address any
concerns promptly and work collaboratively to maintain a safe learning environment for
all.
In conclusion, the success of this school year depends on the collective efforts of our
students, parents, teachers, and staff. By emphasizing the values of respect,
responsibility, and safety, we can create a positive and enriching educational
experience for every student. We are confident that with your support and dedication,
our students will flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are excited about the
opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to a rewarding and memorable school year
together.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We
would love to have you make an appointment with us to sit down and have a discussion
together.
Sincerely,
Heather Summers
BHS Principal
