Patriot Press - Wednesday, May 22, 2019

Starting May 6 , Century Ave from State Street to N 4^th street will be under construction.  Throughout the construction project (anticipated to finish in September), Century Ave will remain open but lane reductions will take place in and around the construction areas.  This will cause delays during the typical commute times for students and staff.  Knowing this, you will want to adjust the typical times of your commute in order to arrive on time.

Happy August!

We are pleased to inform you that all high school students will have the option of receiving a district owned Chromebook!

Here is some important information that all families should know.

• You may provide your own device. It must be the equivalent of a Chromebook, netbook, or laptop. Cell phones, tablets, iPods, gaming devices, etc. are not adequate devices for school instruction.
• All students must complete a digital etiquette course regardless of using their own device or a BPS Chromebook. These are skills necessary in a 21st century learning environment. CHS students must complete this course online before the first day of school.

○ Students should log into LearnBPS​ from the CHS homepage with their username and password. Under courses, use the drop down menu to select Digital Etiquette followed by their graduation year (i.e. Digital Etiquette Class of 2020).

○ For directions on accessing and working through the modules, visit the Digital Etiquette page on the CHS Library homepage or click here.

• All parents/guardians and students must sign a digital permission form before receiving a BPS chromebook. Please fill out​ this form​ for EACH student that will be attending CHS ​(this form can also be found on the CHS Homepage ->Parents->Chromebook Information -> Parent Permission & Responsible Use Form). Paper copies are available in the school office.
• Chromebooks will be issued during first period on the first day of school.​ If your student does not have a first period class, or attends the Career Academy, they can pick up their chromebook in the new CHS Pats Tech room located in the library.
• Visit the 1:1 Chromebook FAQ page to learn more about Chromebooks in the classroom (bismarckschools.org -> Parents -> Chromebook Information).

Please share these tips with your student on how to care for their Chromebook. We also recommend purchasing a 14” protective case. Looking forward to seeing our students back at CHS on August 23!
