Bishop Chatard is continuing to move forward with use of the new Archdiocesan PowerSchool SIS. If you have not created your PowerSchool parent portal, please do so by the end of this week.
If you have created your new parent portal, please log in to your account and click on the Registration tab on the lower left side of the screen to update your information and complete your registration.
Completion of this update process is very important because it allows BCHS to communicate with you at the phone numbers and addresses that are most convenient for you. This pertains to our regular school communications and will also be used in the event of a school closure or emergency.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please let Ame Alerding know if you have any questions at aalerding@bishopchatard.org.

Join STA for Documentary and Discussion |
The second half of the documentary A Place at the Table: African Americans on the Path to Sainthood will be shown Saturday, Oct. 8, at Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish.
This film details the remarkable lives of: Venerable Father Augustus Tolton; Venerable Pierre Toussaint; Venerable Henriette Delille; Servant of God Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange; Servant of God Julia Greeley; and Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman. You will learn from their ordinary struggles that all people are called to sainthood, the road to sainthood is not easy, and that sainthood is about serving God and God’s people.
Please join us in the Bethany Room after the 5:30 p.m. Mass to share a meal, view the film and participate in a reflection and discussion. Sign up HERE to RSVP and volunteer to bring food. You do NOT need to have seen the first part of the documentary to attend. Contact Patrice Payne at patricejpayne@gmail.com with any questions.
