Bishop Chatard is continuing to move forward with use of the new Archdiocesan PowerSchool SIS. Now that all parents have had an opportunity to create a new PowerSchool parent portal, it is time to go into PowerSchool and update your family information.
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. If you have not yet created your parent portal, please follow the directions below.
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.

SAT testing day for Seniors on October 12 |
The Bishop Chatard Class of 2023 will have an additional opportunity to take the SAT at BCHS on the day juniors are taking the PSAT (Oct. 12). This gives a chance for current seniors to boost their score.
