Foggy and Dark: We experienced our first morning of the dreaded Mission Valley Fog this morning. The fog combined with darkness is really challenging when students are arriving at school, waiting for buses, and boarding buses. Some students are wearing reflective jackets or coats. Others have flashlights or some sort of headlight with colors such as red or green. It really helps our staff, bus drivers, and parents who are driving when kids have reflective gear or lights. Please consider sending your students with something which helps identify them in the dark and makes them easier to see!

End of 1st Quarter: Nov. 4 is the end of the 1st quarter. If there are any questions about grades please contact your teacher. Report cards go out the following week.
Morning Drop Offs: Please travel North to South when dropping off students in the morning. This is the same direction that buses are traveling. This allows everyone to exit to the same side of the school. We still have folks traveling the opposite direction and then students have to cross the street against traffic. It is dark in the morning. It is busy in the morning. Please help us keep everyone safe.

Update to COVID 19 Safe Return Plan: We really appreciate parents, students, and staff staying at home when feeling sick. It is the best line of defense to reduce transmission of any illness. We want to keep our doors open and make sure kids do not have to return to remote instruction. The best way to accomplish that goal is to stay healthy. The school board has made an additional attempt to mitigate transmission of COVID19 with an update to the Safe Return Plan. Beginning today students or staff who are possible exposures of a positive case of COVID 19 will be asked to wear a face covering while indoors on school campus for 14 consecutive days OR to stay home and off campus for 14 consecutive days.

NEVER FORGET: 20 years ago tomorrow I was completing my 3rd week teaching in my first year at Charlo. The towers were on fire in NYC and we watched CNN in the old gym coach’s office as it unfolded. It is hard to believe that students in school today were not even born yet. I hope that none of us ever forget that tragic day. I also hope we always keep our soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders in our thoughts no matter the circumstance. We are blessed with some of the best in our own community. A heartfelt appreciation goes to all that serve or have served as well as those who volunteer as firemen, emt’s, or work as deputies and troopers.
