Parking Registration This Week

NOTE: When completing the parking form, if you have incoming freshmen in your carpool you can obtain that ID number by contacting Mrs. Bowman at mrs.bowman@bwhs.org
 
Primary registration for the 2020-21 parking lottery is currently underway via Google form, May 11-13. Students should have received an email sent to their BWHS accounts on Tuesday, May 11 to register. Only rising juniors and seniors are eligible for a Bishop Watterson parking lot spot. Only carpools with three or more students may be registered during this window. Please note with the planned remodel of the Tennis Court lot we do anticipate fewer available spots for the 2021-22 school year. The best chance to obtain a parking spot will be within carpools of three or more students.
 
Instructions for carpools of fewer than three students will be issued after the initial registration window closes. We hope to have an update out by this weekend. Please note: any primary driver must have a valid license by October 31, 2021 to be considered for a spot. 

Instructions and necessary forms were published on the BWHS website, found by clicking on the button below.

Quarter Finals

We have decided to use the quarter finals format for our semester final exams given the unique circumstances of this school year.

Students with a study hall period will be permitted to arrive late/leave early. We will operate on the understanding that they will arrive late if their study hall is the first exam time or leave early if their study hall is the second exam time. If you wish for your child to remain at school for the study hall period, please contact the main office.

Students should direct questions about finals to their teachers.
Dismissal will be at 11:30 a.m. We will not have cafeteria service so students should plan to bring a snack for their break/study time between finals.

Note on Senior Finals: Senior finals will be held May 21-26. The specific final exam schedule will be based on the graduation timeline which will be announced May 14.

Note for Students on Gray Plan: Textbooks and school equipment must be returned prior to taking the exam.
 
A Reminder About Semester Finals Attendance
Final exams will not be rescheduled for any reason other than extreme illness or permission from an administrator. Note: early vacations, club sports, student work schedules, etc. are not acceptable reasons to reschedule exams. In the event a teacher reschedules an exam, it must be completed by the end of the academic year on June 3 in order for final grades to be calculated. Remote learners must complete finals during their scheduled class periods.
