Word From The Woods
Bishop Woods Newsletter May 21, 2023
Hello Bishop Woods Family!
This is Ms. Crisci with your weekly updates.
Parents, we are down to the last 18 days of school, and I am sure our students are excited for summer break that is on the horizon. We have events planned for all grades. Please encourage your child to remain focused and continue to reinforce behavioral and academic expectations, so all students can participate in the activities and end the year with a strong finish.
I want to give a big shout out and a huge thank you for all the families who came and participated in our Literacy and Math night. Everyone had a great time.
Smarter Balanced Assessment
Our SBA testing continues this week. Our students have been working very hard. I am so proud of their efforts in completing this assessment.
Triple Threat Academy is a summer basketball camp opportunity for boys and girls ages 7-14 and all skill levels. They are offering 3 different sessions. One of the directors of this basketball camp is our own Mr. Victor Joshua. Please click on the below link to their website for all the details, videos, Mr. Joshua’s bio and to register your child.

On May 26th, Hope Howard and her girls after school program will be hosting “Open Mic Hour" from 1:30 -2:30 pm in the BW Cafeteria ”. The purpose of this event is to inspire and encourage our 6-8th grade girls to become positive role models in their homes as well as in their communities. Our goal is to empower and engage our girls to strive for excellence. There will be 4 young female presenters ( High School Student, College Student, Graduate from College, and one working her Dream Job) who will share their experiences and their journeys to success. They are real life stories that our girls will and can appreciate. Please contact Hope Howard if any more information is needed.
We would like to give a shout out to all the students and teachers who participated in our “Outdoor Day” . They worked hard to beautify our outdoor habitat and learning spaces. I also want to give a huge shout out and a giant thank you to our Habitat committee for planning and organizing this event.
