Conferences

Parent-Teacher-Student conferences are coming soon! Conferences this year will be offered via Zoom on Wednesday, November 9 from 3:00-8:00 p.m. Online sign-ups begin this morning at 8:00 a.m.  and close at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 9. When signing up, please make note of the passcode you will need to access each teacher's zoom. 

Our annual Season of Giving drive starts this week. Students who choose to participate each week with at least the minimum requested donation will receive a dress down day that Friday.

THROUGH FRIDAY

St. Lawrence Haven Toy Drive

A $5 donation, collected by Student Council in homerooms, will be used to purchase Christmas gifts for the St. Lawrence Haven Toy Drive.

Last year Bishop Watterson’s Season of Giving collection provided more toys to St. Lawrence Haven than any other high school in the area. We want to provide that level of help again, as we know that we can make Christmas morning memorable for more than 500 children ranging from ages 0-17!

At St. Lawrence Haven, families can buy Christmas gifts for a heavily discounted price (items are all less than $5), giving parents the opportunity to provide wonderful Christmas memories for their children. All “profits” go right back into feeding the hungry at St. Lawrence Haven!

November 18

St. Francis Center in McArthur, Ohio

We are asking students to bring five (5) non-perishable items (no money) for the St. Francis Center in McArthur, Ohio. Items will be collected in Dominican Hall the morning of November 18.

Social Media Tip

Teens are turning to tik-tok for mental health support, but the information they’re getting may be inaccurate or over simplistic. The New York Times recently did a story about this. Click here to read.

Fall Drama

Mothers' Club Corner

Calling all Bakers

Open House

Do you know families considering high school options for their children?

Your testimony to family and friends about your personal experience or your children's experience at Bishop Watterson can make a difference! You know firsthand how Bishop Watterson prepares our students to live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ beyond high school, through our focus on faith, academics, service, athletics and co-curricular activities. Our current parents, past parents and alumni are uniquely qualified to speak to why we encourage families to Choose Faith, Choose Community, Choose Excellence and Choose Bishop Watterson.

We invite you to share this link with friends and relatives who are looking ahead to high school! You can help us spread the word even further by sharing/re-tweeting our Open House information on social media!

Eagle Store

The Eagle Store will re-open on Tuesday, November 15 with new items! We will be at the Mothers' Club Fall Dinner with some of our new items for sale.



Worth Repeating

Athletics

Bowling Team

Bowling is a great way for students to participate in a varsity sport at the high school level! Many bowlers have the opportunity to participate at the collegiate level and some even receive scholarships. The high school season runs from November through March. Any students interested in bowling for the Eagles this year can contact Coach Kelly Bishop, Kellybishop96@yahoo.com. 

Signing Day

Fall Signing Day for Division I and II athletes will be held on Thursday, November 10 at 8:00 a.m. in Dominican Hall. The national signing day is scheduled for November 9 but we are moving ours due to the 8th grade visit scheduled at BWHS that day. Students should stop by the Athletic Office on the lower level to pick up an information sheet and form, which will need to be completed and submitted NO LATER than November 7. Please contact the Athletic Office if you have questions!

ACT-SAT-PSAT Prep

Juniors or seniors who are testing on any of the ACT or SAT test dates, please contact Karen Gallo for any college entrance test prep needs. Individual Zoom tutoring with Mrs. Karen Gallo is offered at times that will accommodate your schedule.

All juniors will be taking the ACT on February 28 during the school day. There is no registration needed for this test .

Contact Mrs. Gallo with questions about tutoring at KarenSATtutor@columbus.rr.com.

Slow Down

For the safety of our students and staff using the crosswalk on Cooke Road in front of the school, please remember that this is a 20 mph school zone. We hope that all members of our community will slow down, especially since the mornings are now dark. Thank you. 

A reminder that drop-off and pick-up on Cooke Road in front of the school is prohibited.
