If you live in Warwick, Providence, East Providence, North Kingstown, or out-of-state, you can begin picking up your textbooks from Bishop Hendricken’s main office any Monday-Friday from 9am-12pm up to the start of school.

At this point, you should have access to your PowerSchool Parent Portal AND have completed the forms on the PowerSchool Form Bundle.

If you haven’t yet completed these, please do so as soon as possible! Failure to do so will result in your son’s Microsoft account being locked.

You can access PowerSchool, here.

As a reminder, no student may begin participating in any sports or activities on campus until they’ve mailed or dropped off the following hard copy forms to campus:

• Bishop Hendricken High School Assumption of Risk
• RIIL Assumption of Risk
• Physical with most up-to-date immunizations

Athletes trying out for fall sports are required to submit this paperwork to their coaches on the first day of tryouts/practices.

At this point, students should have begun or finished their summer reading assignments!

All students, regardless of grade and level, can expect a summer reading assessment during the first week of class — so be sure to get it done!

• 8th Grade SELECT (2028)
