Superintendent's
Welcome Back Message
The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for all of us and it is my pleasure to welcome our students back for a new school year! The summer months provide valuable time for our families to slow down and build important memories. It is also the time our staff uses to recharge our internal batteries, collect our thoughts, and renew our commitment and passion to ensure we are able to provide the best educational experiences for our students.
Accomplishing our vision -
To be the model school district for excellence in student success, opportunities, and safety, exemplified through our commitment to our students’ educational experiences –
is collectively dependent upon all of us being committed to our mission:
OUR STUDENTS • THEIR FUTURES • OUR FOCUS.

NEW: Class Link Single-Sign On

Bloom-Carroll Local School District has partnered with ClassLink to provide a single-sign on solution for students and staff. This means students and staff will need only one username and password to access all of our school-related websites and apps. No more struggling to remember dozens of passwords!
ClassLink is located within the Bulldog Portal tab under "Bulldog Resources".

Volunteers can change lives. As a volunteer in the Bloom-Carroll Local School District, you have the opportunity to help children master new skills, achieve higher levels of learning, and give the one-on-one attention children need. You'll also provide the support and involvement in their lives that all children need to become caring, effective adults.
If you would like to become a volunteer, please complete the
volunteer form
and send it to school with your student. We will get in touch with you to volunteer for the 2018-2019 school year.
