We are now entering week 9 of learning from home, and week 7 of school-wide online learning. The staff at Bishop Woods is continuing to work hard to engage our students. We value your feedback. Please take a moment to fill out the feedback form regarding your experience with online learning at the link below. This information will assist us as we move forward with planning.

Competition of the Week: Masked Singer!
We have some brave staff members at Bishop Woods that have performed a favorite song, and you need to guess whose voice you hear! Watch the FlipGrid at the link below, and then submit your guesses!
To Guess
Option #1: Open the video of a singer, click reply (green button underneath singer), and take a quick video with your guess for each singer!!!!
Option #2: Submit your guesses on the Google Form at the following link: https://forms.gle/CN43YArxd7c5RkAD7
The person who gets the most INCORRECT guesses is the ultimate MASKED SINGER and was able to conceal their identity from ALL OF YOU!
There will also be shout outs to the staff members and students that guess all (or the most) Masked Singers correctly!
