2022 BUHS Senior Walk - so great to see this annual tradition brought back!

Mrs. Magan's 5th grade class joined Mrs. Taylor's kindergarten class to work on Character Strong "Cooperation" activities in the month of March. The pictures here are of these classes working together to create arthropods. Students absolutely LOVED getting together to complete this project.

TikTok Post/Threats for December 17, 2021 Dear Bishop Families, The Bishop Unified School District has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17. The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. Additionally, the district has been in contact with the Bishop Police Department regarding the post. We will have an increased police presence surrounding our campuses on Friday as an added precaution. This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online. If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away. As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students. Sincerely, Katie Kolker BUSD Superintendent
