Just In Time Information
Virtual Back-to-School Night
Wednesday, September 1st
In thinking about Wednesday’s Back-to-School night, we reflected on what we were forced to do last year with no large gatherings allowed in the City of Boise. It turned out that we received many compliments from parents on how much they enjoyed the virtual experience. It was more convenient (did not have to drive or make carpool or babysitter arrangements), more of you could participate on your schedule, you received more content from teachers, it was a better use of time, easier on teachers and staff after a long school day, etc. What you did miss was the face-to-face interactions and seeing friends.

In weighing all these factors, including holding a large indoor event when COVID cases are high in our valley, we decided to do Back-to-School Night the same way again this year - and do it even better! 

The live Virtual Back-to-School Night will be available at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, September 1st, on the BK YouTube channel. It will start with a state of the school address from Rich, followed by expectations of students and parents from Mike, and an invitation to all to attend the BK Foundation’s Winner’s Choice Auction from this year’s chairs, Kelly and Murray Lodge. You will then click through your child’s schedule and watch a 3-5 minute intro video and receive the course syllabus from each of their teachers. It will all be recorded so you can watch (and rewatch) at any time you wish.

Checking Grades on Infinite Campus
Bishop Kelly uses Infinite Campus as a School Information System.  Creating an account will allow the user to check grades, attendance, and print unofficial transcripts. 

Each new family to Bishop Kelly received an email on Monday, August 23 at 4:30.  The email contains an activation key for a manual setup and a hyperlink for direct access.  If you did not receive your activation key, please email helpdesk@bk.org.  Once your account is activated, download the App on Google Play or the Apple App Store.

THIS PDF OF INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SET UP YOUR INFINITE CAMPUS ACCOUNT is a very helpful resource. If you need additional assistance please email helpdesk@bk.org.

What are EP Checks?
EP Checks refer to our eligibility progress checks for activities and athletics.
Bishop Kelly students need to maintain eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, academic events, club events, etc. Below are a few clarifications on process for eligibility:
  • Grades will be checked every two weeks to determine eligibility for the following two weeks.
  • If a student has two or more D’s or one or more F’s, the student receives an “Academic Warning” and has two weeks to improve eligibility status. 
  • An Academic Warning is offered once per semester.  
  • If a student’s grades are above eligibility status at the next grade check (two weeks), they are eligible to participate in activities. If not, that student is ineligible to participate in interscholastic competition for two weeks.  This also applies to performances and plays that occur after school hours.
  • Students may or may not practice based on coach’s discretion during times of activity ineligibility.
  • The First EP grade check is Friday, September 11, 2021
