Viking View Valentine's Day Edition

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Question of the Week: When will out of district applications be available for the 2024-2025 school year? Beginning on July 1, 2024 a new law takes effect concerning non resident students attending schools. This law changed some previous requirements for school districts so there is work being done on new school board policy by all Montana Schools. Charlo is currently working through the policy as discussion items at monthly board meetings. We hope to have an approve policy by April. After the policy has been adopted by the school board then applications will become available.

If you have a question of the week please email it to [email protected].

District Basketball Tournament: The Vikings head to Polson for the 14C Basketball Tournament Feb. 15-17. The Lady Vikings will play their first game at 1:30 PM Friday against the winner of Two Eagle/Noxon. The Vikings first game will be at 6:45 PM against the winner of Two Eagle River/Alberton. The tournament is being held at the Linderman Gym.

Parent/Guardian Contact Changes: If your phone number or email changes please notify the office. Additionally, please set up your voicemail and clean out your messages. When trying to contact parents it is important to be able to at least leave a message. About 1 in 3 times the mailbox has not been set up-the mailbox is full-the phone number has been disconnected. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Morning Drop Off: Just a reminder that when dropping off students it is safest to travel from North to South the same direction as buses dropping off students. This reduces the need for students to cross against the traffic. We still have a few parents dropping off their students near the shop area at the junior high. This is a congested area and hard for school buses to navigate. Please DO NOT drop off students in that area.

Attendance: Showing up is the number one reason for success in the classroom, on the team, or at your job. Conversely, poor attendance is the greatest challenge to accomplishing goals and being successful in academics, athletics, and at your place of work. Please stress the importance of good attendance. Stress the importance of being on time to class. They are important characteristics that can make or break achievement in all facets of life!

Weather Changes: With the change predicted in weather please stay tuned to 750 KERR Radio or follow our school facebook page for the latest updates on possible school delays and/or closures. We try to make decisions by 6:45 AM when there is unfriendly weather or bad road conditions. You can also join our email list by contacting the office 644-2206.

Substitutes: We are so grateful for those on our substitute list but that list is a pretty short one. 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.
