Vaccination Clinic on Tuesday April 18th, 2023: The Lake County Health Department will be offering Tdap vaccinations to the 6th graders at Charlo School.

If you would like to have your child participate in the school vaccine clinic please return the consent forms mailed to you no later than April 13th or stop by the office where additional forms are available. Please include the necessary payment/insurance information, however no student will be turned away due to inability to pay.

Question of the Week: In an effort to improve communication we will start have a “Question of the Week”. If you have a question please email it to [email protected]. Then one of the questions submitted will be drawn to be addressed in the following week’s Viking View. Questions cannot involve personal situations among students, staff, or parents. They should be general in nature and related to public information.

This week’s question: Does Charlo have a Spring Break? Charlo, like most Class C sized schools, does not take a Spring Break.
