Welcome to August!!

On behalf of all of us at Bishop Grimes, I would like to Welcome you to August and Prayers for a Successful Start to the new school year. A BIG, BG Welcome to our new families and students that will be joining us this year! This summer, the campus has been very busy preparing for the upcoming school year, and it has been so nice to have so many students on campus for camps, music lessons, and workouts. A HUGE thank you to our custodial staff and all offices open in the summer for their hard work in preparation for the upcoming school year. We are very excited to welcome all our students and faculty back to school!

Before we all enjoy our final month of summer, I wanted to be sure and communicate upfront about important topics for the start of our 22/23 school year: school office hours, important dates etc. Every month throughout the school year, I will highlight what is happening at our school, provide reminders, reference links, and give an overview of certain topics. I will also provide the contact information for who to reach out to if you need more information on any topic, email is our number one means of communication. Also included in this email, is a list of links to our website that provide our calendar, staff directory, schedule, student handbook, etc. If you are a new family, it is imperative you become familiar with our website and these documents.
