Dear BK Community,

As we close on week two of the year it has been another great week at Bishop Kelly. Student schedules have been adjusted as needed, Fr. Vance and Campus Ministry have the morning student Mass running like a well oiled machine, and our Knights have been competing across the valley in boys and girls golf, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, mountain biking, and football. Our Cheer and Dance Teams are working hard to keep school spirit going strong, and Cross Country opens their season tomorrow (Saturday 8/27) at home with the 18th Annual Jimmy Driscoll Walk, Run, and Race. Anyone can participate in this fun 5k. Fill out THIS Registration Form and bring it with you tomorrow to participate.

This Wednesday we will be hosting our Welcome Back BBQ on the Dave and Patty Lachiondo Family Plaza here at Bishop Kelly. The BBQ will be followed immediately by Back to School Knight. Please see below for all the details, including an opportunity to volunteer for the BBQ, and how to get your student(s)’ class schedules for Back to School Knight. We look forward to the opportunity to meet our new families, and re-connect with returning BK Families 

In the Peace of Christ. 

Welcome Back Knight is only a few days away!

Wednesday, August 31

from 5pm-6:30pm

on the Lachiondo Family Plaza

We can't wait to welcome new families, and catch up with returning families!

BKPA still needs Parent Volunteers to help with supplies and staffing at the BBQ! Additionally, we still have spots for student volunteers to earn service hours by helping out. Please CLICK HERE to sign up. THANK YOU!

BACK TO SCHOOL KNIGHT

Back to school Knight begins immediately following the BBQ at 6:30 PM in the Carley Center. Don't miss this chance to spend some time in your BK students' shoes and meet each of their teachers.

Download and Print THIS DOCUMENT for a complete itinerary. Have your student fill out the schedule portion, or copy it from Infinite Campus. We can't wait to see you on August 31st!

Beginning on Wednesday, September 7th we will be offering weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every Wednesday that school is in session.  It is our hope to provide students with a weekly opportunity to encounter Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and to cover our faculty, staff and families of Bishop Kelly in prayer each week.

In order to do this, we need at least 21 adorers willing to commit to one hour of prayer EACH WEEK between the hours of 8:15 am-3pm every Wednesday. We are hoping to have at least 3-4 committed adorers per hour to ensure that there is always someone present with our beloved Lord.

We understand that there might be days in which you cannot make it. In that case, you can simply let me (Anna McCarthy) know and I'll make arrangements to get your hour covered.

If you would like to sign up for one of the 21+ spots, please fill out THIS FORM. If you have any questions, please contact Anna McCarthy at amccarthy@bk.org

Bishop Kelly uses a Student Information System called Infinite Campus for parents and students to access grades, update demographic information, re-register for next year, and to communicate with teachers. As a guardian of a BK student, you now have an Infinite Campus user account, which is ready to be activated. 

Every family should have received an email today from our IT Department that included a unique URL and activation key. You need these unique codes in order to set up your account. Please check your in-box and set up your account before the end of August when the unique URL's expire.  

If you can't find the email, or you have questions about Infinite Campus, please reach out to our IT Department by calling BK at (208) 375-6010 or email helpdesk@bk.org,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce our new international trip to the Galapagos Islands during spring break in 2024. This trip is available for all current freshmen and sophomores as well as incoming freshmen. This is a Biology and a Spanish trip.

You will need two recommendations from two different teachers. The investment for this once-in-a-lifetime trip is $4500. Please visit our website to learn more about this amazing trip. explorica.com/Perea‐80 Please email me if you have further questions. We will have an information meeting soon.  mperea@bk.org

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to school for all new and returning students and their families. There is a lot going on at the start of the school year, and some of the most important are student health issues. Over

the last few weeks I have sent out health care plans for those new students that have significant allergies and other issues. These forms must be filled out and returned, along with the appropriate medications.

For those students with existing plans, please contact me with any changes or updates. I need these forms signed each year, so I will be contacting you as well.

If your student will need to take any type of prescription medication during the school day, please fill out this form and return it to school as soon as possible. All medicines must be given through the nurse’s office.

If you have any questions regarding student health, please contact me at Bishop Kelly.
