Welcome to the Bloomfield School District. We serve grades KG-12 on one campus – which includes Bloomfield Elementary School (KG through Grade 6) and Bloomfield Jr.-Sr. High School (Grades 7-12). Our students are pushed to learn and achieve academically through a variety of core curriculum and support services that meet the unique educational, social and emotional needs of each child. Our faculty and staff work with students and their parents to provide quality educational opportunities in a structured, safe and supportive learning environment.
As superintendent, I am proud of the opportunities our district continues to provide for our students. In August, we launched our Engineering is Elementary curriculum in the Elementary School as we wish to inspire innovation in today's classrooms to engage students in discovering their inner engineer as they become lifelong STEM learners. Bloomfield Jr.-Sr. High School continues to offer students an outstanding opportunity to participate in our Early College programs to earn college credit. At the start of the 2018-19 year all students in grades 7-12 were issued Lenovo 11E Chromebooks as we move forward with our Digital Learning Initiative. We support an active FFA, as well as a world class NJROTC program. It is one of the few in this area and has maintained an excellent reputation for being very active. In addition, Bloomfield was recently awarded a Ready Schools grant from the Regional Opportunities Initiative, Inc. in the amount of $130,000. Our goal for the grant is to engage business leaders, community stakeholders, parents and students in meaningful discussion about what success means for Bloomfield and to develop a strategic plan that will help BSD obtain that success.
These are just a few examples of the wonderful activities taking place in our schools. If you are interested in joining the Bloomfield community, please contact me directly at (812) 384-4507. I would love to share with you all of the reasons why Bloomfield School District is a very special place.
Jeff Gibboney, Superintendent
