Worth Repeating

Winter Weather Closure Notifications Winter is on the way and so we thought this would be a good time to remind our community what happens if school is cancelled.  Bishop Watterson follows the Diocese of Columbus in determining weather-related closures. The Diocese continues to communicate through local media outlets. In the event of a closure, we use the School Messenger system (the same system utilized when we had the water main break on November 5) to send a phone message to parent cell phones on file with the school office. We will also get the word out through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Yearbook Photo Request ATTENTION PARENTS: Yearbook is in need of your help with pictures. We would appreciate any pictures you could provide since we have had limited opportunities due to COVID-19. We are working hard to provide a quality yearbook and we know you can help us. Please submit images to Mrs. Rush at mrs.rush@bwhs.org. Also, if you could provide a little information about the picture that would be great! Thanks in advance.
