Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year!
I am very excited to begin my first year with this team of all-star educators as your newly appointed Principal here at Bloomfield Elementary School. Our entire staff is committed to providing a safe and challenging environment that empowers our students to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers, and inspired learners. Our goal is to accomplish this while instilling the joy and love of learning in our students.
As your principal, it is very important to me that everyone (staff, parents, and students) is excited to be here! This excitement will provide our educators an opportunity to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. Your child will be greeted by exceptionally strong and professional staff members. We will work tirelessly to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of our students.
My challenge to parents is to stay active in your child’s education. Helping your child maintain great punctuality and attendance will be instrumental in developing strong work habits and ensuring a successful educational experience. This will in turn eliminate the possibility of your child developing gaps in their education that can negatively affect them for years to come. Also, please take the time to become familiar with the student handbook as it addresses many issues that may arise during the school year.
I am anticipating the start of school, which begins on Wednesday, August 7th. I am excited to meet all of you. I believe in an open line of communication to ensure your child will experience the best we have to offer. My door is always open. Please feel welcome to contact me via phone or email if you need any assistance.
Michael Riggleman, Principal
