Important Information for Incoming Freshman
 and Transfer Students
On July 19, an email with a letter explaining how to create your Parent Portal in BCHS PowerSchool will be sent through the PowerSchool SIS School Messenger program. Information explaining how parents will be able to create their portal, which will give access to student grades, assignments, etc., will be included. Those who already have a parent portal account with upperclassmen need to log in and add any new student who will be attending BCHS using the Access ID and Access Password that is located in the letter you will receive.

  • Parents will have to use URL - bishopchatard.powerschool.com
  • Parents who have an elementary school PowerSchool account will not be able to use it -- it will have to be the bishopchatard.powerschool.com website.
  • If this is a family's first student to attend BCHS, a new account will need to be created using the Access ID and Access Password from the letter parents will receive through the School Messenger program on July 19.
  • The Parent Access ID is located in the middle of the page.
  • If you need further assistance, Ame Alerding will be available by email starting July 27.
  • An email will be sent when registration opens on July 26 to complete all documents for the 2021-2022 academic year. Completion of documents will be required by the first day of school.

Parent Portals will need to completed before registration can be opened. Contact Ame Alerding at aalerding@bishopchatard.org with any questions.
