IMPORTANT SCHOOL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Each fall, school's receive a rating from the Colorado Department of Education based on our spring CMAS (state testing) results. This year, Bishop will be continuing to implement our reading and writing curriculum and best instructional practices in literacy to focus on student achievement towards grade level standards. We will also be addressing our decline in math performance through ongoing professional development with staff and instruction focused on the Standards of Mathematical Practices and the Effective Mathematical Teaching Strategies. Please keep an eye in our newsletter for updates about math and literacy instruction at Bishop as well as ideas for home connections and activities to support student learning!

News from our Kitchen
Our goal in Nutrition Services is to provide a variety of great food to your great kids! In order to do so, we have a program known as "seconds" in elementary schools. If your child is still hungry and would like to purchase an additional entree, they may pay the additional price of $1.60 for a second entree serving. We also have an A la Carte sales program. If your child wants to purchase an A la Carte item (including milk) they may pay the price of the item ($0.50-$1.25).
