Campus Blessing: 7 p.m.

Please read principal Joe Hansen's letter with important back-to-school information about the Bishop Chatard schedule and other student requirements.

As we begin the 2020-2021 school year, please take a moment to pray this parent's prayer to Mary for the protection, safety and well-being of all students.

There will be a Prayer Service and Eucharistic Procession around the BCHS campus to bless our North Deanery high school and all the North Deanery parish schools, as well as the students and families we serve and the faculty and staff, TONIGHT. The prayer service will begin at 7 p.m. on the front steps of Bishop Chatard near the corner of Kessler Boulevard and Crittenden Avenue. The Eucharistic Procession will end around 7:45 p.m. The current recommended and required safety protocols, including social distancing and face coverings, will be the expectation.

If your child tests positive for COVID-19 or is quarantining due to COVID-19 exposure, please contact BCHS using the email address medical@bishopchatard.org. Include in your email the student's name, grade level and reason for your report (positive test result/quarantine due to exposure.) 

PLEASE NOTE: The medical@bishopchatard.org email address is to be used only to report COVID-19 positive test results or quarantining due to exposure. Standard school procedures should be used to report absences for other reasons or to ask health-related questions. Details on how to report an absence can be found at www.bishopchatard.org/academics/safearrival/

A message to BCHS families that have not yet received an email from FACTS indicating that their payment plan is up and running:

Due to all the challenges of the past several months, setting up of the FACTS payment plans for the coming school year have been delayed in many cases. The account will be set up as soon as possible. Many families will start in August and run through May. An email will be sent from FACTS when both a plan and balance have been set up. Once the email about a new schedule has been received from FACTS, any questions about that schedule can be sent to Karen Feeney at kfeeney@bishopchatard.org. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

BCHS is currently accepting applications for a variety of job opportunities including an Associate Director of Campus Ministry, Assistant to the Principal and Trojan Tots Preschool substitute teachers. Learn more about each of these positions and how to apply here!

Bishop Chatard participates in the National School Lunch Program which provides free or reduced-priced breakfast and lunch to those students who qualify. Any parent who believes a student may qualify for this program and other benefits it offers, such as textbook assistance, may apply. A new application must be completed each year to be included in the program. If your situation changes, applications can be made at any time throughout the school year. If a student qualifies for free/reduced lunches, he/she automatically qualifies for textbook assistance. 

Menus are now posted for the school year. Look for new payment procedures with customer barcodes as we switch to touchless pay stations. (Cash/Check payments will still be accepted via a dropbox in the Cafeteria Office (bottom floor, Door #10)). Parents can add funds to students MyMealTime account for the school year.
