BK Parents and Students,

ishop Kelly uses lots of tools to help keep our students organized and successful.  In today's Just In Time newsletter, we'll highlight a few of them.

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 19 at 7:24 a.m.  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.

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 9, 2022

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:45-3:15 p.m. are office hours.  Teachers are in their classrooms during this time to answer questions and provide academic support.  Sports and buses are purposefully scheduled AFTER these times to ensure that students are available to utilize these office hours.

Please encourage your child(ren) to take advantage of this opportunity.  It is a great resource to help students achieve their academic goals.

If you have room in your car for a Knight in the neighborhood, or if your student needs help finding a ride to and from school, we may be able to help you find a carpool! Just fill out the Google Form linked below, and we'll try to match you up with a family nearby.

This is the first time in several years that we've offered this service, so please be patient while we sort out all the responses.
