Bloomingdale Public Schools

It was brought to my attention today that many students that have chosen virtual learning thought they could not play sports at Bloomingdale. If you have chosen virtual learning through Bloomingdale Schools than you are eligible to play middle school and high school sports at Bloomingdale. If you have any questions at all please call the athletic office at 521.3920. GO CARDINALS!

Fall 2020 PSAT/SAT Schedule Announced The Michigan Department of Education has announced dates for fall PSAT/SAT testing. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is providing a fall administration of the SAT with Essay for students entering the 12th grade in Fall 2020, PSAT/NMSQT for students entering the 11th and 10th grades, and PSAT 8/9 for students entering 9th grade. The results will not be used for any accountability reporting. The purpose of a fall administration is to offer the opportunity for students to take the assessments.

This year's Senior Baccalaureate (virtual) service will be held on Sunday, May 17, at 3:30 p.m. via a Zoom Meeting. The link will be shared with all students and staff through their school email addresses prior to the Sunday gathering. The service consists of three main parts: A group of teachers playing instruments and leading the participants in worship songs, Senior students sharing about their faith, and the keynote address given by Kevin Farmer. Typically we provide an ice cream social immediately following the event. This year's format requires that you BYOIC (bring your own ice cream, haha!). Hope to see everyone there as we celebrate our Seniors! 🙂
