2021-2022 Registration Deposits: Important February Dates for Current BCHS Families |
To secure your student’s place for the upcoming 2021/2022 school year, a registration deposit is due at BCHS no later than February 26. ($350 for one student, $500 for a family of two students or more).
- For those families currently enrolled in BCHS FACTS online payment system, your FACTS account will be charged, and the deposit will be withdrawn on February 26. Watch for an email from FACTS when that withdrawal has been set up. (Note: A FACTS account with another school is NOT a BCHS FACTS account)
- For current families who will also have an incoming BCHS freshman in the Fall, if you have a current BCHS FACTS account, the special withdrawal on February 26 will include that incoming student as well as any returning current students. Watch for an email from FACTS when that withdrawal has been set up.

Course selection information for 2021/2022 school year |
Students have received course selection sheets for next year, and they have watched instructional presentations by their counselors. Students are to use their teacher recommendations (on their sheets), course descriptions, and diploma requirements to select their courses. More information on course descriptions can be found here and information on diploma requirements can be found here. They are then asked to review with their parents, then set up a meeting with their counselor to finalize their selections. All of this information, including how to set up their individual meetings, is in the School Counseling canvas course. Students and parents will receive an emailed list of the final course selections.

Bishop Chatard is hopeful that we will be able to host athletic and enrichment camps on campus this summer. As with so many things in our lives, scheduling and registration of 2021 Summer Camps has been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As soon as information is available, we will communicate that through our parent emails and on our website. We look forward to once again hosting summer camps at BCHS! Questions? Contact Maureen Malarney at summercamp@bishopchatard.org. |
