We are looking forward to hosting a High School information session for our grade 9 families tonight at 5 PM. You can attend in person (in the library) or online (Join the meeting). In this meeting you will learn about high school course recommendations, registration processes, and timelines. We have been working with our feeder High Schools to have them come to BP, visit the students, and get them familiarized with the next big step in their learning.  

Athletic Updates 

We are happy to invite students/parents to our junior and senior volleyball team home games this season at Bishop Pinkham. We kindly ask you review and respect these rules consistent with schools across our division to ensure safety of athletes and spectators: 

  • Spectators are to cheer in a positive manner 
  • No unparented Bishop Pinkham students are to attend games hosted at other schools. The same rule applies to student spectators from other schools attending games at Bishop Pinkham as well. Non student athletes who are dropped off will not be given access to BP 
  • Parents are expected to assume active supervision of their children who are watching, and all spectators are expected to remain in the gymnasium unless using the washroom 
  • Parents attending Away games with their own child are asked to care for no more students than you have seatbelts in your vehicle. This is to prevent parents from being “responsible” for students they did not bring with them to an Away game or that they do not know. We kindly ask you respect this rule at other schools.  

We appreciate your support and lets show our Panther Pride to our hardworking athletes on all our teams this season! 

Phys Ed Artist In Residence Update - Green Fools  

Our Physical Education department will be offering the Green Fools Circus program again this year from Mar 30-Apr 2! This program aims to enhance students' physical skills, coordination, and teamwork in a fun and engaging environment.  

Green Fools bring joy to schools through Circus. Circus is a non-competitive, confidence building, and team building activity that allows students to set and achieve goals in a fun and healthy way! They teach a variety of circus skills including:   

  • Juggling: Ball, Club and Ring juggling   
  • Balancing: Stilt Walking, Slackline, Tight Wire, Rola Bola, and Walking Barrel  
  • Coordination: Diabolo Flower Sticks, Poi, and Plate Spinning   

Please note that a non-refundable fee of $18 will be charged to your PowerSchool account for participation in the Circus Program. This fee covers the costs associated with equipment, instruction, and materials necessary for the program. Please reach out to your child's PE teacher if you will be away that week for PE.   

Yearbooks 

Yearbooks for this school year will be delivered to students in June! Payment for yearbooks can be made through Buy Your Bishop Pinkham Junior High School Year book.
