Basketball Court Dedication: Please join us Friday, Jan. 12 as we dedicate the new basketball court in honor of Coach Bret Thompson. We are playing St. Regis with JV games starting at 4 PM. We will honor Coach Thompson following the JV games before the Girls Varsity tips off at approximately 5:30 PM.
Survey: We have sent out a comprehensive needs assessment survey for all parents, community members, staff, and students to complete. This survey will give administration and trustees information on how the community feels about the school so they can address areas of weakness and continue to maintain areas of strength. You can access the survey on our website https://charlo.k12.mt.us/. Please complete the survey online or call the office at 644-2206 to have one mailed to you. If you have issues completing the survey contact Mario Villalobos at 644-2206 ext 275 or email him [email protected].

Unfortunately we have been inundated lately by parents interrupting the instructional day with phone calls, texts, and messages. Instructional time is being interrupted by parents calling ahead to have their students checked out during the day. Instructional time is being interrupted by wanting to meet with teachers during the day without making appointments. It’s being interrupted by wanting staff to get messages to their students about riding the bus or not riding the bus. It’s being interrupted by calling teachers in their classroom while they are teaching to have personal conversations having nothing to do with education of students. It has become such a distraction that we have to make some changes to some things taken for granted in our school.

Pearl Harbor: Today marks the anniversary of one of the most infamous days in world history when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. It is always good to take stock of such occasions remembering the sacrifice of the sailors, soldiers, and airmen killed on that fateful day.
**Arlee is having a tough time finding people to help work games so there have been daily changes this week to the Junior High Girls BB Tournament. The latest we know of is that our girls play at 10:30 AM on Friday. We recommend talking to your players and coaches for the most up to date places and times.**
**There have also been daily changes to the High School BB Tournament in Deer Lodge/Anaconda because of schools unable to field teams. The latest we know is that the JV teams play at Noon on Friday and the Varsity teams play at 4 on Friday but this could change again before the day ends. We recommend talking to your players and coaches for the most up to date places and times.**

Winter Sports: Wrestling kicks off this weekend in Polson. High School basketball kicks off Dec. 8 while JHGB wraps up the same weekend. We will need help with score clocks, shot clocks, scorebooks, and ticket taking for basketball. If you can help us out please contact the office 644-2206 or email [email protected].
Athletic Schedules: We do not put out an athletic schedule for high school basketball as there are too many changes on a weekly basis. The reasons for those changes are teams who cancel JV games, shortage of referees, lack of bus drivers, etc. Already, Alberton has cancelled their entire girls basketball season due to lack of interest. The best way to keep up with the basketball schedule and the school schedule for that matter is to get on our school website which is https://charlo.k12.mt.us. At the top of the page click on calendars and you will then see an up to date monthly calendar. Changes in times and places are made on that calendar. As always please call the office 644-2206 if you have any questions.

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.
