Stay Informed

Engineering Club
Our goal is to ensure that families are informed and welcomed partners. To do so, we want to first create clear and open lines of communication. To that end, we have created the below to guide families when looking for information.
PRIMARY SOURCES OF COMMUNICATION
UPDATES FROM PRINCIPAL WILLIAMS
(via Blackboad Connect and Bloomz)
Principal Williams will provide families with regular written updates about school-wide news.

Our school is transitioning  all communication to Bloomz. Join your student’s classroom if you have not done so yet.  Contact your student's teacher for your class's Bloomz code.  Families are added to the whole school account as they are added to classrooms and our goal is to have 100% of families onto our Bloomz account!

​During the transition, bi-weekly updates will also be sent from the address email@blackboard.com to every email address provided at enrollment. In addition, all updates are posted on our website.

BI-WEEKLY UPDATES FROM CLASSROOM TEACHERS
​(via Bloomz)
Ludlow-Taylor teachers provide families a written update at least every two weeks to:
  • Share what is happening in the classroom and to help families engage in student learning
  • Send reminders about upcoming classroom, grade-wide and school-wide events
Bloomz can be accessed on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Contact your student's teacher for your class's Bloomz code.

MASTER CALENDAR
Ludlow-Taylor's administration and PTO maintain a master calendar of events on this website to notify families about the dates, times and locations of school-wide and grade-wide events sponsored by the school and PTO. Individual classroom events are not included on this calendar.
