Bloom has moved to a communication system called ThrillShare for alerts, weekly newsletters, Rooms (caregiver-to-teacher comms), and Bloom's website.

Alerts: Alerts will be delivered to your cell phone via SMS texts. The caregiver phone number in Infinite Campus will be the phone that receives the alerts. We will facilitate a few tests of Alerts nearer to the beginning of school.

Weekly Newsletters: The admin team sends out weekly newsletters with important info, dates, etc. with Dr. Jacobs' newsletter arriving in the Infinite Campus emails on Sundays and Ms. Gray's newsletters coming to your email on Wednesdays. In a movie away from social media, we will be sharing pictures, stories, etc. in our weekly newsletters as well. So, if you have a cool photo and story you'd like to share via the Bloom newsletter, please send it to jasmine.gray@jefferson.kyschools.us to spread the good news happening in our Bloom Village.

Rooms: We are super excited to return to the 1-to-1 messaging feature for caregivers and their child(ren)'s teacher via "Rooms". Caregivers will be able to message their child's teacher using the JCPS app. As noted, this feature we will refer to as "Rooms". Teachers will also be able to share positive messages with cute photos via Rooms and vice versa.

Bloom's Website: While we've been using this feature for a while now, we are committed to making it as user-friendly and useful as possible. If you have any issues with our website, please report it to the office ASAP - call 485-8211 and let us know how we can make the site better or fixes any mistakes.

99% of your communication regarding your child should be directed to their teacher(s). They are the experts and have the most up-to-date information. Bus drivers are your first point of contact for all bus-related questions, concerns, or clarifications. Teachers and bus drivers are often the quickest way to get your questions and concerns answered.

One of our main goals this school year is to build the strongest possible relationships between the Bloom staff and our families. Remember to download the JCPS app today!
