  Roadmap to College & Careers

View All School News Student Assistance Program (SAP)
The safety of our students and school community is of the utmost importance. Bishop Chatard High School operates under the principle of “see something, say something” when it comes to protecting the safety and well-being of others. The SAP provides a safe way for students, parents, faculty, & staff to report concerns in the areas of School Safety/Threats, Bullying & Harassment, Drug & Alcohol Abuse, and Mental Health/Personal Safety & Wellbeing. SAP reports can be made in person by contacting a Guidance Counselor or School Administrator, or through the SAP Online Reporting System found on the school website.

Depending on the nature of the report, school officials may follow up with parent contact in order to partner in supporting the physical, social, emotional, or spiritual needs of the student. In certain circumstances, school officials may assist in connecting families with outside agencies for educational, evaluative, or counseling needs.

In situations where a student is referred or has referred themselves over concerns related to drug or alcohol abuse or addiction, it is the intent of the SAP program to provide an avenue for the student to receive assistance without incurring a disciplinary penalty. Upon honest admittance of drug or alcohol use, the student:

  • May be required to submit to an initial drug test to establish a baseline of usage
  • May be required to complete a professional drug/alcohol assessment at the family’s expense and complete all follow-up recommendations
  • May be required to participate in a drug/alcohol education program at the family’s expense
  • May be subject to future drug testing administered by the school and/or an outside drug testing company at the family’s expense (future positive drug tests would result in consequences outlined in the Student Life Substance Abuse Policy)

Note: Reports made in an effort to avoid disciplinary consequences after an incident that the school is aware of or may become aware of will not result in disciplinary immunity.

Reports made through the SAP program are considered sensitive and confidential. Please note that BCHS school officials must abide by existing state and federal laws and are required in certain situations to contact law enforcement and/or the Indiana Department of Child Services.

Tips to help when you’re stressed

How to make a Stress Plan

Stress Plan Form

Bishop Chatard High School will implement asynchronous e-learning days for canceled school days due to unexpected weather or events. When this occurs, the campus will be closed. Students will use Canvas for instructional materials. Students are expected to check every course in Canvas and complete attendance for each course by 10:00 am.

  • Class Schedule: The schedule of classes can be found on the Bishop Chatard website and the student news app. Students only need to complete coursework for the classes scheduled on the cancellation date.
  • Course Format: Students will use their iPads or other electronic devices to access course content via Canvas. Classes scheduled for the canceled day will continue in a virtual format.
  • Pacing: Students can work through their assignments at their own pace, but they must adhere to due dates set by their teachers.

Attendance Procedure

  • Each teacher will post an attendance form on their Canvas page, either a Google Form or Canvas Quiz.
  • Failure to complete this form by 10 am will result in being marked unexcused for that class, and any submitted work may not receive credit.

Coursework Submission

  • Students must complete and submit all assignments as defined by their teachers, adhering to the teacher’s specified deadlines.

Teacher Availability:

  • Teachers will be available for questions from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm via email or the Canvas discussion board.
  • Teachers will respond to student inquiries within one hour.
