Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!

This will undoubtedly be a memorable year at Bishop School, and we are thankful for our wonderful community of students, parents, teachers, and staff to help us navigate this unprecedented time. 

Life in our community has changed dramatically over the past six months, and while our PTO activities have changed, our goal remains the same -- to enrich our children's educational experience and build community spirit at Bishop School. That goal is more important than ever as we begin this extraordinary year with Bishop students enrolled in both hybrid and remote learning models. Your PTO board has been working diligently to map a course forward that balances COVID-related reduced fundraising with greater demands for classroom and remote program initiatives.

Volunteers for the many PTO programs are always welcome. This is your organization, and it is an all-volunteer non-profit. If you'd like to get involved, please reach out to us at bishopschool.pto@gmail.com.

Your Bishop PTO At Work!
​The Bishop School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group of parents, teachers and community members that strive to enrich our children's educational experience and build community spirit at Bishop school. We accomplish this by funding events and activities throughout the year and by supplementing resources available to the school and our teachers. In the 2019-2020 school year, the PTO raised nearly $60,000 to fund school-wide and grade level enrichment programs, Bishop classrooms, teachers and administration, school improvement projects, and other community initiatives such as the Bishop School garden.
​
Want to help? You can make a difference by:​
  • Volunteering: The success of the PTO depends on the strength of our volunteer force. Please take a moment to review the Events and Volunteer Opportunities pages for a list of PTO events, committees and volunteer opportunities. 
  • Brainstorming: Have an idea you think would be a great community event for Bishop School? Let us know...or come share it at a PTO meeting. We meet the first Wednesday of every month (October through June).
  • Contributions: Each year, the PTO funds many activities that enhance our children’s school experiences. In the past, the PTO has asked Bishop families for a suggested donation of $135 per child towards the PTO Annual Fund, which helps support supplementary programs and costs, such as teacher and classroom funds, online subscriptions that enhance math/science/spelling/etc., and enrichment programs, and field trips, just to name a few. This year, we are asking families to consider donating $135 per child to the PTO Annual Fund so we can continue supporting our teachers, classrooms, and students to the best of our ability during these trying times. We realize there are many challenges facing Bishop families, including economic hardship due to COVID-19, and humbly ask you to consider your own economic situation when making your donation. Funds can be donated through the annual fund link and more information regarding the 2020-2021 Annual Fund collection can be found here. Thank you for your consideration and support of our fantastic Bishop community!
