Student Services
Our Student Services office is here to ensure that your experience at BMC is exemplary in every way. The best way we know to do that is to keep lines of communication between home and school open to help guarantee that everyone knows what is expected of them.
Parents should utilize this email address to send notes, parking info, and other general tasks within our office. This account will send an automated reply stating receipt of your email. We check this account regularly during BMC school hours.
To contact us, please use the student services email: StudentServices@bishopmoore.org.
Attendance
Attendance is vital to student success. When students are absent, they miss important content and class discussion that no amount of personal study can replicate. Please try to schedule medical appointments and family vacations when school is not in session.
Attendance Updates/Reminders for 2023-2024 School Year
If a student is absent, please remember to have the student submit a completed absent/tardy form to Student Services on the day they return to school. A doctor’s note is required for three or more consecutive absences for the absence to be excused.
To inform BMC of a student’s absence, please call 407-293-7561, ext. 292, between the hours of 7:30 and 3:30; an absent/tardy form will need to be submitted to Student Services on the day a student returns to school. BMC will send out a reminder phone call on the day of the absence to turn in the absent/tardy form upon return to school.
When students need to be dismissed early from school for medical, legal, or any other official appointment, they must present a completed request for early dismissal form to Student Services before 7:40 AM on the day of the early dismissal. Upon the parent's arrival, the student will be called out of class and dismissed from the Student Services Office. Students may not be called out of Mass or an assembly for early dismissal. Parents should report to the Student Services Office to sign a student out no later than 30 minutes before the end of the school day.
Athletics
Our student-athletes are representatives of Christ and our school. As such, we expect all athletes to conduct themselves respectfully and with good sportsmanship. Participating in athletics is a privilege and is conditional upon class participation (good grades and attendance). For more information, please visit our Athletics page.
Discipline Policy
We have built our discipline policy on the concepts of mutual respect and Christ-like lifestyle choices. Students not adhering to our policies and procedures (including dress code and attendance) will be subject to disciplinary action. We weigh and measure the discipline according to the behavior and circumstances of the event in question. Consequences of minor infractions might include detention and/or Saturday school, or other restorative consequences. Repeated or major offenses may result in disciplinary probation (loss of privilege) and suspension.
Dress Code
Refer to the Student Handbook for our Dress Code Policy.
Field Trips
Parent permission forms must be completed and returned to the appropriate teacher at least 48 hours before a scheduled field trip. Field trips are part of the official school day at BMC and as such, are subject to the same rules and regulations, including dress code, volunteer requirements, and attendance.
Arrival, Dismissal & Parking
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Parking is a privilege at BMC and reserved for officially registered vehicles only. To register your vehicle, visit the Student Services office and purchase a parking sticker. Stickers must be displayed in the student vehicle at all times. When you come to register, bring your driver’s license, a valid vehicle registration, and proof of current insurance. Seniors have first priority for our student-reserved parking spaces, followed by juniors.
