Who works at our school? This is the guiding question for students in Ms. Thode's class this week. Today Principal Straker visited the class (room 105) as part of their study of the school. Children are working towards building their understanding of people in school and their roles - who is who and what exactly do they do!

Wintonbury hosted Open House & Curriculum Night with 272 attendees! During classroom visits, families learned about their child's day and how early learning standards are connected to routines, play and inquiry. The Wintonbury PTO provided light refreshments in the multipurpose room after classroom visits giving families the opportunity to network with each other or talk with select Wintonbury staff about other components of the curriculum such as Responsive Classroom, "Second Step", Augmentative and Alternative Communication tools and how Auerfarm field trips are brought back to the classroom as provocations and extensions. It was a wonderful night! Thank you to all who joined and supported us for the evening.

Welcome Back, Bloomfield Public Schools! 🕺🎶
We kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with an energetic “Back to the ’70s” Annual Convocation at Bloomfield High School on Monday, August 24! From ’70s music and dancing to an inspiring message from 2026 Teacher of the Year Jen Coleman and a fabulous costume contest, our staff brought the energy!
The theme was more than just fun—it represents our commitment to working toward a score in the 70s on the state accountability index and, most importantly, continuing to grow and improve outcomes for our students.
Following Convocation, staff engaged in professional development to prepare for an amazing year ahead. Planting Seeds. Inspiring Growth. Cultivating Excellence.
Here’s to a great 2026–2027 school year!
