Dear new and returning 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 1:00 PM on August 28 for parents and for student registration. Timetables will be given to students on their first day. 

The first day back to school for all students will be August 31st 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. A hot dog lunch will be provided to grade 7 students. Dismissal will be at 2:30 PM. 

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 2023-24 school year through MyCBE. More bussing information can be found on the CBE Transportation page.  

There is no change in our school hours for 2023-24.  Mondays to Thursdays will run from 8 AM until 2:30 PM.  Every Friday will run from 8 AM until 12:00 PM.  

We will have our initial Meet the Teacher Evening on Thursday, September 21 from 6:30-8:00 PM. There will be a notice sent home to remind parents as we get closer to the date.   

That’s it for now! I will be sending regular updates home via email as the school year progresses. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you again in the near future. 

Take care and enjoy the last few days of summer!
