March 13th will be PSAT/SAT Day at Bloomfield High School. 9th and 10th graders will be taking the PSAT and 11th graders will be taking the SAT. Students doing regular testing will be dismissed at 11:00 a.m. Afternoon buses will follow the late bus drop off schedule which is below. It is important that all students come to school ready to test. We encourage all students to get a good nights sleep, eat breakfast, and come to school with a positive mindset. There will be additional buses at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. for those students who receive extra time. Breakfast and lunch will be served.

On March 13th, 12th graders will be working on their competencies and Capstone Project, both graduation requirements. Seniors are required to attend school as all seniors have a Capstone Project and many will need to take one or more competencies to meet their graduation requirement. Any senior absent will accrue attendance points for the day.
