Graduating seniors and their families are encouraged to submit group photos from their senior year for use within the Senior Salute features air on West Dakota Fox and KFYR-TV during the month of May. For those that are interested in submitting, please provide your school (BHS, CHS or LHS) along with your photos (submitted by a link or as an attachment) to Stacey_lang@bismarckschools.org

Chromebook
The year is winding down and graduation is right around the corner! Some things to be aware of:
- You have the opportunity to purchase your student issued Chromebook for $20. The fee for the Chromebook can be paid via MyPaymentsPlus or with cash/check in the admin office. This must be paid before May 14th so the fee doesn’t affect your test exemption. If you are not interested in purchasing your Chromebook, follow the steps emailed.
- Once you graduate, you will no longer have access to your BPSapps account. This includes all your Google Drive files. Follow these directions emailed to you to transfer your school files to a personal gmail account.
Congratulations and best of luck!
Final Transcripts
Final Transcripts are required by future colleges. This transcript confirms to colleges that you did graduate and what the date of graduate was.When your final decision for college is decided please see Mrs. Schmidt in Student Services to request this be done the week after graduation.
There is a $2.00 processing fee that accompanies that request.
