The new Bishop Chatard grotto was blessed by BC alumnus and Christ the King pastor, Father Rob Hankee. He was joined by members of the Semler family and the Konrad family in celebration of their wonderful contribution. The grotto will play an important part in forming Bishop Chatard students, faculty and staff in the faith for many years to come. |

Free/Reduced Price Meals Applications |
NEW! Free & Reduced Lunch processing is currently experiencing some delays due to technical issues. Families may still apply.

If you have applied and not relieved notification we please ask for your patience while we sort out these issues.
Families who may qualify for free and reduced meals must submit an application. Applications open on July 1. Eligibility for textbook assistance is determined by the free/reduced lunch application so all are encouraged to apply.

Families need not apply only if they are directly certified -- those who receive Medicaid, TANF, SNAP, etc. Qualified families will be notified by mail.
- If your situation changes, applications can be made at any time throughout the school year.
