 Welcome
We welcome parent involvement at Bidwell Junior High. Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education generally achieve higher grades and test scores, attend school more regularly, do their homework more consistently and exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior.
Please visit the school office any time and stay in touch with your student's teachers and counselor - see the Staff Directory for phone numbers, e-mails and websites.
We also welcome community participation, including donations of time, money, materials and expertise.
