Are you wondering what to do with an old laptop laying around your house? Did someone in your house get a new laptop for Christmas and you want the old one out of your sight? Then wonder no more and consider giving those devices to Bishop Kelly! We are looking for laptops in any condition for our IT students to work on. Your old device could become a laptop in the hands of a student that needs one. Any donation will also help our students gain valuable experience repairing electronics; experience that can help them pay for college and beyond. Also, before you throw something away, consider that BK has a way to prevent electronics from getting into the landfill. Any electronics can be recycled and worked on by BK students, so please contact the school at helpdesk@bk.org, 208-375-6010, or just send your student in with the devices to the IT office!

You will need recommendations from two different teachers.

• Parents are asked to email the school’s Attendance Office before 9:30am on the day a student will be absent from class for all or part of the school day due to an illness or an appointment. That email is attendance@bk.org
• Bishop Kelly is a closed campus. If students need to leave school for any reason, parents must notify the Attendance Office by emailing attendance@bk.org before school.
• Students must sign-out when they leave campus during the school day, and sign back in when they return. They will be asked for verification of any professional appointments upon returning to school. (i.e. a doctor’s note)
