Bishop Elementary

Just a reminder, there is no school Monday, February 17th - February 21st. School will resume Monday, February 24th.

This past week, through our partnership with Assistance League of Los Altos (ALLA) and Sunnyvale Education Foundation (SEF), we were able to bring a STEAM museum to school. Students were able to engage in all types of science, technology, arts, and music (STEAM) opportunities! Students had so much fun being a part of this amazing learning opportunity.

We hit a milestone this week! On Monday, February 3rd we hit 100-days of school. Some of our teachers went all-in on the 100th day!

During our monthly leadership rally this week, our 4th-grade student leaders led us in celebrating black history month. During this time our school learned about the story of Ruby Bridges and how all people should be treated equally and fairly, no matter the color of their skin. In addition, our 2nd and 3rd grade ukulele club performed! Mr. Joe did a great job directing our young musicians.

Our students are busy rehearsing for their performances on Thursday, March 13th and Friday, March 14th! We will be pre-selling tickets the week of March 3rd. More information to come! Tickets will be sold for $5 per ticket. You can also purchase tickets at the door.

Our next 9-week art class session starts on February 27th from 2:20 - 3:30. Check out the flyer to register.

If you haven't had the opportunity to attend our community forum and/or our parents & principals meeting, we have proposed a school focus of "Performing Arts". If you haven't had an opportunity to share questions or comments about our proposed school focus please use this link so that we can hear from you.

Our absence hotline is now active. To report an absence please call 408-522-8229 x5000.

Greetings Bishop Families,

Over the last few weeks, my heart and mind have been with all of you impacted by the recent changes to immigration policy. I can see firsthand the fear and confusion that students are experiencing as they receive near daily news about changes that directly impact them, their parents, and their extended family. During times like these, children benefit from the adults around them providing accurate information and communicating a plan for family safety and security. Santa Clara County's Office of Immigrant Relations has some excellent resources for creating and communicating Family Preparedness Plans. These resources can be found here:

Also, If you have not filled out the lunch form this year, please do so, even if you do not think you qualify for free or reduced lunch. This helps us receive our Title 1 funding.
