Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has something to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. As for me, I am very thankful for the staff we have here at Charlo. They are some of the very best in the business when it comes to our community’s children. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the bus, or in the cafeteria our staff is second to none. I am thankful for our trustees who give it their best no matter the situation. Trustees have a thankless job but we should all be thankful that we have people willing to serve the community in such a way. I am thankful for the parents and community members who support our school, students, and staff. I am thankful for our students, especially those students who show up every day despite the challenges they face in today’s world. May all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday!

Substitutes: We are so grateful for those on our substitute list but that list is a pretty short one. There has been plenty of illness going around with students and staff this month. There were several days we did not have enough subs to keep everything going like a normally staffed day. If you have any interest in helping us out, we are always looking for substitute teachers, bus drivers, custodians, and cooks to help fill in when regular employees have to be gone. If you would like to be on our substitute list please contact the office for more information at 644-2206. We could really use the help.

Breakfast/Lunch Bill: Please make sure you student’s meals are paid up in a timely fashion. The best practice is to pay ahead. If you have any questions please contact the office.

ATTENTION PARENTS! Please do NOT drop off or pick up students at the junior high parking area north of the cafeteria near the junior high entrance/shop doors. That area is for employee parking and school buses only. Please do not use that street or area. We do not want to see anyone injured or have a collision between vehicles. Drop off students out in front of the high school and elementary buildings on 1st Ave West or 4th St W. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
