Seniors

If you are a parent/guardian of a senior, you will soon be receiving a calendar from Mrs. Julie Anderson, senior class coordinator, outlining all of the activities and commitments for seniors during the month of May. Most importantly, though, is that students successfully complete all of their responsibilities in the classroom. According to Board policy, in order to participate in the Graduation ceremony, all academic requirements must be successfully completed. Please take the time to discuss with your child the importance of continuing to work hard in the classroom as their high school career comes to a close. It is always a very difficult situation for everyone involved when a senior is informed just days before Graduation that they will not be able to participate in the Graduation ceremony. Hopefully, if we all work together, we can avoid such situations. Thank you in advance for your help and support!

Family Goal Setting Day for 2023 - 2024 School Year

The School District of Bloomer will again be using the first official day of school, Tuesday, August 22nd, as a Family Goal Setting Day. This day will be mandatory for all students; however, students will not spend the whole day in classes. The structure of this day may look a little different at each building. A specific time will be set aside for students and parents to meet with their advisor in a one on one setting. This format will allow teachers/advisors to better get to know your student and set academic, career and personal goals for the upcoming school year. The goal setting approach is used in districts throughout the area and is shown to be successful in helping to build relationships and improve student learning outcomes. More information on the Family Goal Setting Day will be sent out during the summer. Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 22nd.

As the end of the school year approaches, our spring sports teams will be nearing the end of their seasons. We encourage you to get out, enjoy the spring weather, and support our spring teams in action. The following is a list of home events for the month of May.

The School District of Bloomer is sharing the 2023-24 school calendar early this year to encourage families to plan vacations around already scheduled school vacations. Consistent school attendance is critical to student success, not just academically, but for social/emotional health. Considerable school absences not only cause students to fall behind academically but can also cause anxiety issues when returning to school, due to excessive work that needs to be made up and critical academic information missed while absent. Please consider this calendar when planning your family vacations next year. Thank you; we look forward to working with you to help ensure all aspects of your child's success.
