Plan Ahead for the New School Year

Copies of the new school calendar are being distributed at public schools throughout the Bloomingdale-Riverview area to help parents and students prepare for the 2013-14 academic year.

School board members also have approved a tentative calendar for the 2014-2015 school year. 

Superintendent MaryEllen Elia reportedly has sent an automated phone message to families notifying them that the calendars are available on the school district website.
