Dear Bishop Pinkham students and parents,
We hope you have all had a restful summer! Here is some information for you as we get closer to the start of school. We are so happy to welcome you back.
The school office will be open for phone/email inquiries at 12:00 PM on August 28 for parents and for student registration. Timetables will be given to students on their first day.
The first day back for students will be September 2 at 8 AM. Students will gather on the field to the west of the school where staff will facilitate homeroom groupings. Signage will be posted to support students.
For the students who are bussed, routes will not be posted online; individual stop information will be available to families who have pre-registered for transportation for the 2025-26 school year through MyCBE. More bussing information can be found on the CBE Transportation page.
There is no change in our school hours for 2025-26. Mondays to Thursdays will run from 8 AM until 2:30 PM. Every Friday will run from 8 AM until 12:00 PM.
For those looking for school supply lists, these will be made available on the course outlines given to students at the beginning of September. If you really want to make some purchases over the summer, you can definitely count on the basics such as: binders, pencils, pens, erasers, dividers, lined paper, white out, and a scientific calculator. Some students prefer an agenda - this is optional.
We will have our initial Meet the Teacher Evening on Thursday, September 18 from 6:30-8:00 PM. There will be a notice sent home to remind parents as we get closer to the date.
Here is the Bishop Pinkham 2025-2026 Digital Student Handbook that will be shared with students when they return. It has a lot of useful information about Bishop Pinkham School, such as general school information, sign out procedures, lates/absences, teacher contact information, student code of conduct, responsibilities, and expectations. Please have a read through to familiarize yourself with our school. These match the links in the navigation on our website.
