NEW!
Families that have not yet received an email from FACTS 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. Not all families will start in July, many 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.

Free and Reduced Price School Meal Program
|
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.

Two of our international students, both seniors, are in need of host families for the 2020-2021 school year. Evan has been at BCHS since freshman year, and David has been with us since sophomore year. At this point, we are unsure whether they will be allowed to return in the Fall, but to keep in step with rapidly changing directives, it is important that they have a safe, loving home to come to when they return for their final months as Bishop Chatard family members, whether it is in August or January.
Host families receive $700 monthly to support housing their student or twice that if you have room for both! Host families do not need to have students currently at BCHS. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, Please contact BCHS counselor Catherine Welch at
cwelch@bishopchatard.org
