Online Awareness & Safety



Online awareness and safety start at home.  It's important to know what your kids are doing online. Pasco County Sheriff's Office put together a list of apps parents should know. We encourage parents and guardians to stay up to date on the different social media apps or games their kids are using and discuss online safety.

PARENT SERVICE HOUR REQUIREMENT (Handbook, p. 26)

As part of the Bishop family, parents are required to support the school’s mission and our students through volunteerism. Your presence at school activities is one way to show your support. School volunteer opportunities are NOT community service hours, but are volunteer hours through school-sponsored events. All BMCHS families are required to complete ten (10) hours of volunteer service per family each school year. All hours completed should be submitted through the FACTS Family Portal Upon successful submission of all hours, parents will receive an email confirmation. Parent service hours not completed for the school year will be fulfilled at a rate of $20/hour for the remaining balance due on April 30th.
