Continue to monitor your son's or daughter's Brainhoney account and specifically look up the 4th quarter grade in each class. If there is a possibility that your son or daughter may not pass a class, please first refer to the summer school section of Bishop Watterson's website and then start your research of summer school course options.
Eligibility for Participation in Fall Activities: A student must achieve a minimum 1.0 GPA in a given quarter in order to participate in co-curricular activities. A student falling below the 1.0 GPA in a give quarter will be ineligible to participate in co-curricular activities during the following quarter.

In June, after grade cards go out, senior transcripts will be prepared and mailed out to the college they indicated on the form.

 As we wrap up the 2014-15 school year, one of our housekeeping items is tablet PC return for our juniors and seniors. While our seniors will, of course, be required to turn in their BWHS tablet PC starting on May 18, we are happy to offer a year-round option to our current juniors. This means that juniors now have the option to extend use of the school-owned computers through the summer vacation. Students will be required to use the same computer assigned for the 2014-15 school year and then during the 2015-16 school year. To participate in this program, please sign and return the form that will be coming home with your student.
