Bonjour BP families. 

Thank you to all who came out to celebrate BP students in their band performances last week. Our students have immense talent and they (and we) are so proud of them and their accomplishments this year.  

Bravo to all of our grade 9 students who just had their farewell this week. The grade 9 community was treated to very thoughtful and heartfelt (and funny!) speeches and contributions from each class. We have spectacular students in grade 9 and we can't wait to see what they do in high school! A special thanks as well to our grade 9 team for organizing this special event.

PAT Days 

Please note that for all of the grade 9 PAT days, we have full days of school with planned instruction time. Teachers are still busy covering curriculum and providing review opportunities for the remaining PATs in mid-June. If a parent has an unavoidable cause and wishes to excuse their child from afternoon classes, regular communication processes are in place. Please notify the office of any student absences.  

School Fees 

Please take a moment to log onto your MyCBE Account to see if there are any outstanding fees. As of today, Bishop Pinkham has  $49,813.17 in outstanding school fees and we would appreciate prompt payment.  

Lost and Found Items 

We have an abundance of lunch kits, water bottles, and hoodies galore in our lost and found. Please remind your students to have a final look and take any items that belong to them, as we will be donating the abandoned items on June 27 

Come Be a Part of the Bishop Pinkham Parent Association (BPPA)! 

Are you looking for a meaningful way to support your child’s school and connect with other parents? The BPPA supports school administration to fund programs and resources that make a real difference—things like mental health support, enrichment opportunities, and new technology that enhances learning. 

We meet just 3–4 times during the school year, but our impact is year-round! 

Right now, we’re looking for volunteers to join our friendly and committed team. Open roles include: 

  • Vice Chair 
  • Secretary 
  • Casino Coordinator 

Not ready for an executive role? No problem! We also welcome general members who want to get involved and support our school community. 

Whether you have a little time or a lot, your contribution matters. Let’s work together to make Bishop Pinkham an even better place for our kids to learn and grow.
