Dear Bloomfield Families,
Bloomfield School Cafeteria will operate in the following manner for each of our different school modules.
All Virtual - Meals can be picked up between 11am-12:15pm Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday will be meals for 2 days, Thursday will be meals for 3 days. Please email or call to notify us if you plan to be picking up. A call/email is not necessary, but will reduce your wait time.
The direct line to the cafeteria is 812-384-2401 or email at mhasler@bsd.k12.in.us (with meal pick up in the subject line). Pick-up will be at Door # 8, which is the entrance to the high school cafeteria, from the bus lot. You will need to come to the door for pick up. Handicapped parking will be marked and we will come to you, if needed. Meals will be ready to eat or ready to heat meals. Instructions will be included.
Hybrid - We will be cooking our regular menu for the in house students. Students at home may pick up today’s hot lunch and a grab and go meal for the following day between 11am - 12:15pm We will not package more than a day at a time during this schedule, as we do not have the space or staff to run two different systems. Again, an email or call ahead is requested and meals can be picked up at door #8.
All In House Schedule - We will follow the menu as planned and be grateful for our time to be all together.
*Masks and Social Distancing Guidelines should be followed.
*Menu subject to change due to product availability and packing needs. If the meals are being picked up we are still held to the NSLP guidelines to provide each of the required vegetable components. Your student receives ½ cup Dark Green, ¾- 1 ¼ cup of Red-Orange, ½ cup Beans, ½ cup Starch Vegetables, ½ cup “other vegetables”, 1 ¼ cup additional vegetables from the first groups, each week. They are offered many sources of vitamins and minerals.
We are happy to be able to continue meeting the nutritional needs of our students.

All BSD Stakeholders,
It is time that I share more than COVID announcements once again! We will continue to implement COVID precautions and work with our local and state health officials to monitor the situation. Our goals are to keep all of BSD safe and educate our students with excellence. Please do your best to follow the state safety guidelines so all students can stay in school!
Our teachers, students, and families continue to work hard, learn, and adapt to the new ways of schooling. I continue to be impressed by our staff, students, and the community. It is an honor to serve Bloomfield as the school superintendent as we all seek to grow and improve in order to help Bloomfield be the best that it can be.
Many exciting things are going on at Bloomfield. One of these exciting things is the building project. The process for this building project began about a year ago and is getting closer to fruition. There are four main priorities for this project. The first includes high priority maintenance which most notably will be accomplished by putting a new roof on the elementary F wing (grades 3-5). Safety and security is another priority that will be accomplished through more safe and secure entrances into our elementary and high school main offices. We are also improving safety by restructuring the bus drop-off and pick-up area on the west side of the building. A third priority is accessibility. Improvements will be made in restrooms, locker rooms, and entrance to the building for ADA compliance. Many of our extra-curricular groups do not have available space to practice resulting in sharing spaces or practicing late into the night. Adding a multi-purpose space will provide space and availability for all groups to have better access to practice facilities. The last main priority is improvements. The cabinets and flooring in both our elementary wings need to be improved and updated as well as some restrooms and office spaces. These improvements will enhance our school and serve our students, teachers, and community well. The following links provide a snapshot of some of the current building plans:

Thank you for your support of Bloomfield Schools and choosing to be a Cardinal!
