Word From The Woods
Bishop Woods Newsletter August 22, 2023
Hello Bishop Woods Family!
We can't wait to see all our friends and families and start the 2023-2034 school year! We have lots to be grateful and excited for. New learning opportunities, new friendships, exciting family events, and a fresh start! Our teachers are gearing up to welcome back students to their classrooms and we know this year is going to be GREAT!
Please look at the links below and view all our upcoming events.
Also, Kindergarten and Grade 7 families - please be sure all necessary medical documentation has been submitted to Nurse Marie in order to begin the school year on time.
A reminder that ATTENDANCE MATTERS! Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school. And this significantly impacts academic performance. Learn more about the important of attendance here.
Please enjoy these last days of summer break! We look forward to welcoming all our students on Thursday, August 31st.

Fair Haven School Based Health Clinic Information
Enroll Today!
Bishop Woods has a school based health clinic operated by the Fair Haven Community Health Care. It is located in the nurses' suite on the first floor of our school. The clinic can provide back to school physicals as well as acute care to those students who are enrolled. While the clinic does not replace your primary care provider, it is a convenient way for both students and parents to access care without delay, leading to less missed time from work and school.
