Happy Friday, Laurel village! 🍂 Click here for Mrs. Dwyer's October newsletter: https://aptg.co/Txg71q
Each monthly newsletter has important announcements, great information about student learning, and updates about the Laurel community. Be sure to check it out!
Today was the first day of K/1 vision and hearing screenings here at Laurel! 🤓 The Lions Club, along with Nurse Karen, performed screenings for some kindergarten and first grade classes throughout the day and will continue screenings tomorrow. Any K/1 student who is absent will be screened at a later date.
Families will be notified if vision/hearing screening results are abnormal and mailed a referral letter for further evaluation. If your child wears glasses, please be sure they wear them daily. If you DO NOT want your child to be screened, please notify Nurse Karen in writing. Thank you!
Bloomfield Public Schools is proud to partner with East Granby Public Schools to bring expanded, full-service school meal options to students at Seymour Elementary, Allgrove, East Granby Middle School, and East Granby High School!
This innovative partnership demonstrates how neighboring school districts can work together to put students first while creating lasting benefits for both communities. By sharing expertise, resources, and ideas, the districts are expanding access to school meals, creating staffing opportunities, and exploring new ways to support local farms and businesses.
As Bloomfield Superintendent Dr. Tracy Youngberg shared, this is a student-centered, win-win partnership that benefits both districts. She also recognized Food Service Director Nick Carambelas for his leadership in making this collaboration a reality.
We are proud to see this partnership in action and look forward to the opportunities it will create for students, families, and our communities! 💙 See the full article on our website: https://www.bloomfieldschools.org/article/3189741

#Inspiring Growth & Cultivating Excellence
Welcome Back, Bloomfield Public Schools! 🕺🎶
We kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with an energetic “Back to the ’70s” Annual Convocation at Bloomfield High School on Monday, August 24! From ’70s music and dancing to an inspiring message from 2026 Teacher of the Year Jen Coleman and a fabulous costume contest, our staff brought the energy!
The theme was more than just fun—it represents our commitment to working toward a score in the 70s on the state accountability index and, most importantly, continuing to grow and improve outcomes for our students.
Following Convocation, staff engaged in professional development to prepare for an amazing year ahead. Planting Seeds. Inspiring Growth. Cultivating Excellence.
Here’s to a great 2026–2027 school year!
Join us for our Virtual Orientation on Tuesday, July 28 at 6:00 p.m. to learn everything you need to know for a successful start at Laurel Literacy Academy!
We will cover Day 1, transportation, lunch, dress code, school resources, and more.

On June 12, members of the Bloomfield High School Class of 2026 took part in the annual Senior Parade, visiting schools across the district and inspiring the next generation of Bloomfield students.
From excited cheers in the hallways to heartfelt reunions with former teachers, the day was filled with pride, memories, and celebration as seniors reflected on how far they have come before graduation on June 16.
