SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2024
MODERN LANGUAGE @ 8AM-9AM
MATHEMATICS @ 9AM-11AM

All new incoming students need to attend the Placement Test day in order to finalize their schedule for the fall. Please note: current 8th Grade SELECT students AND incoming students to the Options Program do NOT need to attend the placement tests.

All new incoming students must take the Mathematics Placement Test. The test is not timed and it generally takes between 1-1.5 hours to complete. Students will be dismissed when they finish the test, but no student may stay beyond 2 hours.

In addition, incoming freshmen MAY take the optional Modern Language Placement Test if they’d like to attempt to place up a level in their language. This test is for students who have studied French, Italian, or Spanish in middle school and intend to continue the study of that language at Bishop Hendricken. All tests cover the following: listening skills, vocabulary, grammar and writing. The materials covered are based solely on the language curriculum taught at Hendricken. This test is optional; if your son does not sit for a language placement test, he will be put into a first-year class.

Please have your son bring two #2 pencils to the placement tests. Only students taking the Algebra II test may use calculators. Students will be directed to the testing rooms when they arrive.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2024 @ 7PM

All incoming students and parents are heavily encouraged to attend New Student Orientation together. You’ll receive important information, such as your son’s schedule for the fall, summer reading lists, book registration, start-of-school details, dress code, athletics and activities, summer camp offerings, and more.

Current 8th Grade SELECT students and parents should also attend!

All students are expected to read during the summer in preparation for their English class. Students can expect a summer reading test during the first week of class. Summer reading assignments for each grade level are below:

• 8th Grade SELECT (2028)
• Freshmen (2027)
• Sophomores (2026)
• Juniors (2025)
• Seniors (2024)

Summer is a great time to begin shopping for your new school dress code! As a reminder, Bishop Hendricken does not have a uniform, meaning students and families can purchase any brand or style of clothes they’d like.

Each day, you’ll need…

• Dress shirt (collared, Oxford-style, etc.)
• Pants (dress, khaki, chino, etc.)
• Tie (neck tie or bow tie)
• Belt
• Dress socks
• Shoes (dress, topsider, loafer, etc.)
• Sport coat/suit jacket (winter dress code)
• Polo shirt (spring dress code)

As a reminder, all students must…

• Be clean shaven
• Wear their hair neat, clean, and above-the-collar of their shirt
• No earrings
• No visible tattoos

Unlike the elementary years, students do not need to bring glue, markers, a ruler, etc. Each student will need a notebook, pens and pencil for their classes and if they need a folder, 3-ring binder, or any other specific item, their teachers will make that request during the first few days of school.
